Are Bad Bunny and Gabriela Berlingeri Back Together? Here’s What We Know
Bad Bunny and Gabriela Berlingeri’s romance captured the attention of fans for years as one of Latin music’s most high-profile relationships. The pair reportedly met in 2017. Over time, their connection evolved from friendship into a steady, supportive partnership. Berlingeri, a jewelry designer from Puerto Rico, often appeared alongside Bad Bunny at events and in social media posts, though both maintained a deliberate level of privacy. Unfortunately, they split in 2022. So, are they back together in 2026? Here’s what we know about their notoriously private romance.
Bad Bunny and Gabriela Berlingeri met each other by chance in 2017
Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, and Gabriela Berlingeri’s relationship began with a chance meeting. In 2017, Bad Bunny was in Puerto Rico performing at a Zion & Lennox concert and ran into Berlingeri, then a jewelry designer, at a restaurant where he was eating with his family, according to Hola!. Their conversation sparked enough connection that they “continued to see each other” afterward, laying the foundation for their romance. Berlingeri later became creatively involved, contributing reference vocals on Bad Bunny’s track “Te Gusté” and joining him in quarantine‑era moments that influenced their collaboration on the song “En Casita” during the early months of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
For nearly three years, the couple kept their relationship private. They chose not to make public appearances together until 2020, when they were first seen courtside at a Miami Heat basketball game. Bad Bunny began sharing glimpses of their life on social media. During that period, Bad Bunny publicly described Berlingeri as “very special” and acknowledged the emotional support she provided him, particularly while they were isolating together in Puerto Rico.
“She is very special in my life,” he told Rolling Stone. “This quarantine has made me understand that she is the best companion I could have.”
Why did the couple split?
By late 2022, Bad Bunny and Gabriela Berlingeri had quietly gone their separate ways after roughly five years together. Their breakup wasn’t formally announced with a statement. However, fans noticed signs, including Berlingeri removing photos of Bad Bunny from her Instagram and both of them appearing at events separately. This contributed to widespread confirmation that the romantic relationship had ended.
In addition to these public shifts in behavior, Bad Bunny himself addressed their evolving bond, describing Berlingeri as a “best friend” rather than a current romantic partner during an Instagram Live, according to Telemundo. In that conversation, he emphasized that they remained close but were no longer in an exclusive relationship. Additionally, by February 2023, rumors suggested Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner were spending time together.
It’s unclear what exactly led to the breakup. It seems that Bad Bunny and Berlingeri chose to prioritize other aspects of their lives as their separate careers took off, while choosing to maintain a close friendship.
Are they back together? Gabriela Berlingeri showed support after Bad Bunny’s Grammy win
So, are Bad Bunny and Gabriela Berlingeri back together? There’s no official confirmation that the exes have rekindled their flame. However, Berlingeri’s support of Bad Bunny after the 68th Annual Grammy Awards has sparked conversation amongst fans. She reshared a photo from the Grammys’ official Instagram page that declared Bad Bunny the winner, according to E! News. Berlingeri then posted another photo of hands coming together with drinks for a toast.
Fans on Reddit also believe that several songs off of Bad Bunny’s DeBí Tirar Más Fotos album sound like they’re about Berlingeri. “The fact that Gabriela is still supporting him and even attending all his events makes me happy but soooo curious about the chisme between them,” a fan commented.
“I feel like Gabriela and Bad Bunny have this relationship where they’ll always be friends,” another fan wrote. “It’s clear she supports him and I’m assuming vice versa.”
With this in mind, it seems likely that the exes have gone their separate ways romantically but maintain a close personal bond.
