Fate flipped the script in 2017 at a cozy Puerto Rico restaurant after a Zion and Lennox concert. Bad Bunny shared the exact meet-cute with Rolling Stone in May 2020: “I met her at some restaurant, while I was eating with my parents and my brothers. We started talking and from there, we continued to see each other.” Jewelry designer Gabriela Berlingeri became his creative partner too, voicing references for his J.Lo collab “Te Gusté,” as he revealed to Rolling Stone. They stayed secret for three years before Miami Heat games in 2020 hinted at more.

His Instagram video from the “Yo Perreo Sola” shoot, captioned “Sorry but I had to do it,” made it official. To Entertainment Tonight on March 4, 2020, he admitted: “Yeah, I feel love,” then shyly owned it: “I’m in love,” adding trust is key: “[It’s] always about being honest.” Her diamond ring at the 2021 Billboard Latin Music Awards stirred engagement buzz. Bad Bunny laughed it off to Entertainment Tonight on November 26, 2020: “No, I’m not that married. Maybe it can be that (engagement). But I think that weddings and getting married scares me. A lot.” They parted in 2022, but those raw words linger like a favorite chorus.
