Forget touchdowns, the real score at Super Bowl LX was “I do!” In a move that left tens of millions worldwide collectively gasping, Bad Bunny didn’t just headline the Halftime Show at Levi’s Stadium, he transformed it into the most unforgettable wedding venue imaginable.
About five minutes into his 13-minute set, the high-energy party atmosphere shifted. The stage, which had been transformed into a vibrant Puerto Rican plaza (complete with faux sugar cane fields and a domino table), became the backdrop for a ceremony that felt like a cinematic dream.
A couple, later identified as Eleisa “Elli” Aparico and Thomas “Tommy” Wolter, stood before a smiling officiant, Pastor Antonio Reyes. As tens of millions watched on TV and 135.4 million streamed globally (shattering all previous viewership records), they exchanged vows.
“I declare you husband and wife,” Reyes announced in Spanish. “You can kiss the bride.”
The kiss wasn’t just for show. Bad Bunny’s representative confirmed shortly after the performance that the wedding was 100% legal. The couple had originally sent a wedding invitation to the artist, in a move of pure “Benito” energy, he invited them to get married during the most-watched television event of the year instead.
A Star-Studded Guest List (Literally)
As the newlyweds parted, the show didn’t stop—it leveled up. The wedding party was joined by a “who’s who” of global icons:
- Lady Gaga emerged to perform “Die With A Smile,” later transitioning into a duet of “Baile Inolvidable” with Bad Bunny.
- Ricky Martin brought the legacy of Latin pop to the stage for “Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii.”
- Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, and Jessica Alba were all spotted in the “plaza,” acting as part of the most expensive wedding guest list in history.
Bad Bunny didn’t just play the Super Bowl, he hosted a family party for 135 million people. And somewhere in the middle of it, he found time to sign a marriage certificate as a witness.
Is this the peak of the Super Bowl Halftime era, or just the beginning of a more “human” stadium experience?
