Bad Bunny’s Unexpected Meeting with Kendall Jenner’s Family at the 2026 Met Gala
Bad Bunny recently encountered ex-girlfriend Kendall Jenner’s family members during the Met Gala 2026, leading to a somewhat awkward moment captured on video.
The Grammy-winning artist, 32, was seen extending his arms for a hug as he approached Kris Jenner, 70, and her daughter Kim Kardashian, 45, on the red carpet.
During the encounter, Bad Bunny shared light conversation with both Kris and Kim, who patted his arm throughout their brief interaction. The moment attracted attention online, with social media users labeling it “uncomfortable.”
One user humorously remarked on the tension of the moment, while another noted the lack of eye contact between Kris and Kim, suggesting it was a bad sign. On the other hand, fans commented that the awkwardness stemmed from Bad Bunny’s “weird hug” rather than any real animosity.
He had previously dated Kendall on and off between 2023 and 2024, and their recent reunion at the gala sparked considerable discussion across social media platforms.
Bad Bunny’s unique look for the event was a talking point in itself, as he transformed his appearance to fit the theme of “Costume Art,” which celebrated the relationship between clothing and the body. The artist jokingly mentioned to Vogue that preparing for the event took him “53 years.”
Kris Jenner dazzled in a copper and white ensemble, while Kim Kardashian’s striking metallic orange bodysuit paid homage to the film “Maîtresse.” Kendall, meanwhile, wore a corset under a draped dress that she later changed into a sultry look for afterparty events.
In February, Kendall caught attention while watching Bad Bunny perform during the Super Bowl LV halftime show, showcasing their continued connection despite their romantic split.
The reality star has since been linked to Jacob Elordi, although sources indicate she is proceeding cautiously with this new relationship, taking her time after her past with Bad Bunny. Bad Bunny has yet to publicly confirm any new romantic interests after his breakup with Jenner.
