Berlingeri and Bad Bunny met at a restaurant in Puerto Rico in 2017, but only went public in 2020 – then they split in 2022 and Bad Bunny began dating Kendall Jenner … but they might be back on

Puerto Rican-born Latin-pop superstar Bad Bunny may have taken the world by storm with hits including, “I Like It”, “Te Boté” and “Yonaguni”, but he generally prefers to keep his personal life out of the spotlight. That’s why it was a surprise to fans when he and ex-girlfriend Gabriela Berlingeri went from private couple to relationship goals seemingly overnight.

Despite getting together in 2017, the pair kept things under wraps until they were first spotted together at a basketball game in Miami in February 2020. Despite playing coy at first, they soon made their relationship public. By May, Bad Bunny was discussing it while promoting his second album, Yo Hago Lo Que Me Da La Gana (I Do Whatever I Want) in a Rolling Stone interview, which was accompanied by photographs taken by Berlingeri. “I wanted to highlight all my favourite things about him,” Berlingeri said, articulating her love for him.

However, by late 2022, rumours began circulating that they had quietly parted ways. While their break-up was never officially confirmed, it became clear that the pair were no longer together when Bad Bunny began popping up around Los Angeles with Kendall Jenner in early 2023. They were spotted on a double date with Hailey and Justin Bieber and photographed packing on the PDA at events such as Coachella, a Met Gala after-party, a Drake concert and a basketball game. People magazine confirmed that the couple were “spending time together” and “having fun”.

Bad Bunny’s relationship with Jenner soon fizzled out and fans were left wondering if he’d revived his relationship with Berlingeri when they were filmed stepping out in LA last March. There’s been no official confirmation either way, though it’s possible they’re once again keeping things low-key for now.

Curious about Bad Bunny’s former – and perhaps rekindled - flame? Here’s what you need to know about Gabriela Berlingeri.

Gabriela Berlingeri and Bad Bunny first started dating in 2017

Bad Bunny and Berlingeri’s love story began at a restaurant in April 2017. After performing as a surprise guest at a Zion and Lennox concert in Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny was dining at the restaurant with his family when he ran into Berlingeri. The pair hit it off and soon began dating.

They kept the relationship below the radar for about three years before going public in 2020, when they were seen together for the first time at a Miami basketball game, according to LATV.

The couple have collaborated on songs – Berlingeri recorded references for Jennifer Lopez’s vocals on Bad Bunny’s track “Te Gusté” – and began sharing social media posts of each other while locked down together in Puerto Rico at the start of the pandemic. They made their first red-carpet appearance at the 2021 Billboard Latin Music Awards in Florida – and adopted a puppy together in 2022.
