Kendall Jenner was among the elite spectators at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday, watching her former boyfriend Bad Bunny command the stage during the Super Bowl halftime performance. The 30-year-old model observed the Puerto Rican rapper, 31, deliver a dynamic set before the Seattle Seahawks clinched a 29-13 win over the New England Patriots.
VIP Experience and Casual Style
The runway sensation enjoyed the show from a private luxury suite, where she was spotted near Yellowstone actor Kevin Costner, 71. Jenner, a Vogue cover star, was photographed intently following the on-field action before engaging in conversation with a friend in the exclusive VIP stands. Her half-sister Kim Kardashian also attended the event, accompanied by Lewis Hamilton.
Earlier in the evening, Kendall turned heads as she navigated the stadium in a black crop top and jeans, en route to her private suite. Inside, she layered a grey trench coat over her outfit, showcasing her signature casual-cool aesthetic. She later shared a clip on her Instagram Stories, enthusiastically cheering for the Patriots, despite their eventual loss.
Bad Bunny's Spectacular Performance
Bad Bunny captivated the audience with a predominantly Spanish-language set, opening with "Tití Me Preguntó" while traversing a constructed sugar cane field on the field. The performance featured surprise appearances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, who joined for a rendition of "Lo que le pasó a Hawaii." The rapper concluded his act by proudly waving the flag of Puerto Rico, delivering a memorable show that drew mixed reactions, including criticism from former President Donald Trump.
Past Romance and Public Commentary
Jenner and Bad Bunny dated from February to October 2023, a relationship that garnered significant media attention. Last year, Bad Bunny appeared to reference their split by posting a photo of a cap inscribed with the phrase: "Stop dating people who don't get your music." Sources close to the pair indicated that their busy schedules and mutual understanding of their youth contributed to the amicable breakup, with Jenner's family reportedly still holding him in high regard.
Prior to dating Jenner, Bad Bunny was in a long-term relationship with jewelry designer Gabriela Berlingeri from 2017 to 2022. Meanwhile, Kendall has expressed desires for a traditional marriage and three children, though she acknowledges she is not yet ready to settle down.
Iconic Halftime Show Moments
The Super Bowl halftime show has a rich history of memorable and controversial moments. In 2004, Justin Timberlake's "wardrobe malfunction" with Janet Jackson sparked widespread outrage and FCC complaints. Kendrick Lamar's 2025 performance included subtle jabs at Drake, while Rihanna's 2023 appearance revealed her second pregnancy to a global audience.
Other notable instances include Katy Perry's 2015 show featuring the viral "Left Shark," Eminem taking a knee in 2022 as a protest gesture, and Michael Jackson's groundbreaking 1993 performance that set a new standard for the event. Prince's 2007 set in the rain, M.I.A.'s middle-finger gesture in 2012, and 50 Cent's upside-down entrance in 2022 further highlight the halftime show's legacy of surprise and spectacle.
