Global music sensation Bad Bunny has ignited fresh speculation about his romantic life after being spotted with his former girlfriend Gabriela Berlingeri in Buenos Aires. The 31-year-old Puerto Rican superstar, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, was photographed enjoying what appeared to be a romantic dinner with Berlingeri on Thursday, just two days before Valentine's Day.
Romantic Reunion in Argentina
The sighting occurred in the South American capital where Bad Bunny is scheduled to perform three consecutive shows at the massive Estadio Monumental stadium, which boasts a capacity of 85,018 spectators. According to photos published by Page Six on Friday, the MONACO hitmaker attempted to maintain a low profile during the outing.
Bad Bunny wore a blue hoodie with the hood up, complemented by a white baseball cap, sunglasses, and a plaid face mask as he navigated through enthusiastic fans. Interestingly, the couple left the restaurant separately, with Berlingeri departing in a different SUV while sporting a stylish brown leather ensemble.
History and Recent Developments
Bad Bunny and Gabriela Berlingeri first began dating in 2017, with their relationship lasting until 2022. The 32-year-old Puerto Rican jewelry designer even appeared as Bad Bunny's bride in his 2023 music video for "Tití Me Preguntó" before their quiet separation. Their breakup occurred approximately one year before Bad Bunny embarked on his highly publicised romance with supermodel Kendall Jenner.
Rumours about a potential rekindling between Bad Bunny and Berlingeri have been circulating for several months, reaching a significant peak during the recent Grammy Awards ceremony. Berlingeri made an unexpected, low-key appearance at the event, where Bad Bunny secured the prestigious Album of the Year award for "Debi Tirar Mas Photos."
Although she did not accompany him on the red carpet, Berlingeri publicly demonstrated her support by sharing his victory on her Instagram story that evening. Eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed her presence in the audience as Bad Bunny accepted his award on stage.
Previous High-Profile Relationship
Bad Bunny's most recent prominent romance was with Kendall Jenner, which began in early 2023 after he and Berlingeri had parted ways. The couple initially sparked dating rumours before confirming their relationship when photographed sharing a kiss following a sushi date in Los Angeles.
Despite largely maintaining privacy about their relationship, speculation about a potential split emerged later in 2023 when Jenner shared cryptic messages and celebrated her birthday without the musical artist. By December 2023, multiple media outlets reported that the pair had indeed separated.
Insights into the Jenner Relationship
Sources previously revealed to Us Weekly that Jenner saw long-term potential with Bad Bunny, describing him as "the complete package" and praising both his confidence and how comfortably he integrated with her social circle. However, insiders later informed People and Entertainment Tonight that the relationship gradually diminished due to demanding schedules and a mutual understanding that it was unlikely to become permanent.
"They have crazy busy schedules and know they're still young and have a lot more to experience individually before settling down," an insider told Entertainment Tonight at the time. The source added that "there isn't any negativity between them and they still want the best for one another."
The insider further disclosed that Jenner's family, including her mother Kris Jenner, continued to think highly of Bad Bunny. "They just want her to be with whoever makes her happy, treats her with love and respect," the source explained. The family also expressed hope that she would find "someone that understands and can handle the attention that comes along with dating her with poise and grace."
Future Family Plans
Months before their breakup, Kendall Jenner had openly discussed her desire for a traditional marriage and three children, though she acknowledged she wasn't ready to settle down immediately. During an episode of The Kardashians, her mother Kris Jenner subtly hinted about wanting grandchildren, recounting a dream about Kendall having a baby.
When asked about her future family plans, Kendall responded: "Of course. Three max. I'm cool with two, though. I just want my kid to for sure have a sibling, I know that." This conversation highlighted the model's thoughtful approach to her personal life amidst her high-profile career and relationships.
Current Speculation and Context
The timing of Bad Bunny and Berlingeri's Buenos Aires dinner is particularly noteworthy, occurring just days after the superstar helped a couple get legally married during his epic Super Bowl halftime performance. This romantic gesture, combined with his apparent reunion with Berlingeri, has fuelled speculation that he may have "re-found love in his past" or could even be secretly married.
Berlingeri's relationship with Bad Bunny has historically been less flashy than his subsequent romance with Jenner, and it was widely supported by fans during their initial time together. Her recent public support at the Grammy Awards, including sharing a photo of her Crypto.com Arena wristband that confirmed her presence at the venue, has further intensified rumours about their rekindled connection.
As Bad Bunny continues his South American tour with three consecutive shows in Buenos Aires, all eyes remain on his personal life developments. The romantic dinner sighting has undoubtedly added another layer to the ongoing narrative surrounding one of music's biggest global stars and his complex relationship history.
