Truth behind couple who got married during Bad Bunny halftime show

If you thought the bride and groom who joined Bad Bunny on the pitch at the Super Bowl were very convincing, there's a heartwarming reason for it.

The lovebirds donning wedding attire during the halftime show weren't just doing it for fun, as it turns out the pair actually tied the knot in front of millions of viewers.

While the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks players were taking a breather, the unidentified couple made their vows on one of the world's biggest stages.

During Bad Bunny's gig - which was described as 'absolutely terrible' by President Donald Trump - the pair became man and wife.

Sports fans who purchased a pricey seat at Levi's Stadium in California were treated to a dose of romance as well as a medley of the rapper's hit tracks, a surprise appearance from Lady Gaga and getting to see Pedro Pascal swinging his hips.

Bad Bunny, who shared a heartfelt message to the world during his performance, was also joined by the couple and a huge wedding party.

While singing his hit 'Tití Me Preguntó', the rapper was handed a ring which he then passed onto the groom, who then acted out popping the question to his wife-to-be.

Cameras later panned to show the duo standing on a large stage, seemingly flanked by their nearest and dearest (and an array of dancers), while a justice of the peace also joined them.

Footage appeared to show how the couple were pronounced man and wife before they sealed the deal with a smooch - but a lot of social media users couldn't work out whether the ceremony was legit or not.

A representative for Bad Bunny then confirmed to Variety that the couple did actually get hitched live on TV.

While the Grammy-winner performed the track 'BAILE INoLVIDABLE', the pair were seen cutting their wedding cake and feeding each other a piece.

According to NBC News journalist Rohan Nadkarni, there's also a super sweet backstory about how all of this came about.

In a post on X, Nadkarni said: "This is incredibly cool - a source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real.

"They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance."

Others claimed that as Bad Bunny couldn't make their nuptials due to his hectic schedule, he offered to host their wedding during his halftime gig instead.

Social media users tipped their hats off to the Puerto Rican star for the incredible gesture, as one said: "The wedding in Bad Bunny’s show was real? That’s so cool."

Another wrote: "Aww, that real wedding moment at Bad Bunny’s halftime show was pure magic!"

A third added: "That is so cool! I loved the storytelling throughout this show."

And a fourth commented: "Awe the wedding during the Bad Bunny performance was a real wedding. Thats so dope!"
