Bad Bunny and the Mystery of Love: Single in 2026, Reuniting with an Ex, or a New Lover?

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - Global singer and rapper Bad Bunny, also known by his real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is once again in the public spotlight regarding his love life.

Although officially single in February 2026, rumors and speculation continue to surround his relationship status.

When asked about his relationship status in a September 2023 interview with Vanity Fair, the Grammy-winning artist said he’s “not really interested in clarifying anything” for his fans about his personal life.

 “They don’t know how you feel, they don’t know how you live, they don’t know anything, and I really don’t want them to know,” he explained. “I don’t have to accept anything and everything because I wanted to be an artist. At the end of the day, you listen to me because you want to. I don’t force you to.”

The latest speculation arose after his performances at Super Bowl LX and the Grammy red carpet.

Bad Bunny was publicly reported as single in February 2026, but this hasn't stopped the torrent of speculation about his love life.

One of the most persistent rumors concerns a possible reconciliation with his ex-girlfriend, Gabriela Berlingeri.

This speculation intensified after Berlingeri posted a photo on social media hours before Bad Bunny's performance at Super Bowl LX, which fans interpreted as a hint of a deeper relationship.

Furthermore, Bad Bunny was also seen wearing a gold ring on his left ring finger while walking the Grammy red carpet.

In addition to rumors with Gabriela Berlingeri, singer Sabrina Carpenter was also mentioned in Bad Bunny's romantic circle in 2026.

Although there has been no official confirmation from either party, news of their relationship has become a hot topic on various social media platforms and entertainment news portals.

Before becoming the global star he is today, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, also known as Bad Bunny, had a dating history that attracted considerable public attention.

His first documented relationship was with Carliz De La Cruz Hernández, his girlfriend while attending the University of Puerto Rico.

They met and even worked together at a grocery store, dating from 2011 to 2017.

Their romance was rumored to be serious, with plans for an engagement in 2016, but the relationship ended in 2017.

After splitting from Carliz, Bad Bunny began a relationship with jewelry designer Gabriela Berlingeri in 2017, while initially private, they went public with their relationship in 2020 and even collaborated on a musical project.

Bad Bunny met Berlingeri at a restaurant in Puerto Rico, and he once revealed how much she helped him emotionally.

Although they split in 2022, speculation of a reconciliation continued.

Bad Bunny was also briefly linked to Manelyk González in 2018, although details of this relationship were kept under wraps.

His most high-profile relationship was with model-entrepreneur Kendall Jenner, which lasted from 2023 to September 2024.

The two were frequently spotted together at prestigious public events, including Gucci campaigns and the Met Gala, making them a frequent paparazzi target.

Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner's relationship has had its ups and downs, with an on-again, off-again relationship in December 2023 and a brief re-establishment in 2024, before finally separating permanently in September 2024.
