The Super Bowl Halftime Included a Wedding Ceremony

Yes, a real couple got legally married during Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026. 

About five minutes into the 13-minute performance at Levi's Stadium, a wedding ceremony was shown on stage. The unnamed couple, dressed in all white, exchanged vows and shared a kiss as a licensed officiant declared them married in front of the live audience and millions of viewers. 

Key Details of the Wedding

• Origin: The couple had originally sent a wedding invitation to Bad Bunny. Instead of attending their planned ceremony, the artist invited them to get married during his halftime performance.
• Legal Status: A representative for Bad Bunny and reports from the Associated Press confirmed the marriage was 100% real and legally binding.
• Witness: Bad Bunny served as an official witness and signed the couple’s marriage certificate.
• Performance Integration: As the couple finished their ceremony, they parted to reveal a surprise appearance by Lady Gaga, who performed a salsa-inspired version of "Die With a Smile" while the newlyweds celebrated nearby with a real wedding cake. 

While this was the first time a wedding occurred during the halftime show itself, it follows a similar headline from Super Bowl LVIII (2024), when headliner Usher and his longtime partner Jennifer Goicoechea obtained a marriage license in Las Vegas just days before the game and wed in an intimate ceremony immediately following his performance. 

The couple originally had no intention of getting married on a global stage; they simply sent a wedding invitation to Bad Bunny as fans. Because the artist was busy preparing for his Super Bowl LX performance, he couldn't attend their ceremony and instead offered them the "ultimate wedding gift": the chance to tie the knot live during his show. 

The couple's motivation for accepting this once-in-a-lifetime offer included:

• A "Time of Joy": According to their wedding dress designer, the bride saw it as a moment to celebrate love and joy amidst a tense political climate.
• The Ultimate Guest List: By moving their wedding to the halftime show, they exchanged vows in front of 80,000 live spectators and millions of TV viewers.
• Star-Studded Witnesses: Beyond having Bad Bunny sign their official marriage certificate as a witness, the couple was serenaded by a surprise appearance from Lady Gaga.
• A Historic "Glow-up": Fans on social media noted the couple essentially upgraded their original plan to the "ultimate proposal glow-up," featuring a reception on the field with a real tiered cake and a global audience. 

The ceremony was a central part of Bad Bunny's theme that "the only thing more powerful than hate is love," which was displayed on stadium screens as the couple celebrated.
