Interestingly, Lopez posted her support of Bad Bunny on Instagram before his Super Bowl LX performance and wrote that she was 'behind' him. The post was written in English and Spanish.

Moreover, Bad Bunny supported Jennifer Lopez on stage when she co-headlined the Super Bowl in 2020 with Shakira.

The Puerto Rican singer's performance was praised as joyous, revolutionary, and a cultural triumph — bringing the Puerto Rican history to a global audience. It also boosted Latin pride, with massive streaming spikes on Apple Music and Shazam.

Fact Check: False, no credible evidence to back the claim

The claims made in the online posts are false, as there is no credible evidence to prove that Bad Bunny and Jennifer Lopez are dating.

The post is a fabricated satire which is originated from a self-described parody account, @HoopsCrave. The viral claim is not based on any real reporting.

Major outlets such as People, TMZ, Elle, Marie Claire, etc., have covered Bad Bunny extensively in the days surrounding his Super Bowl LX halftime show, but none mentioned any romantic link to Jennifer Lopez.

Moreover, searches for recent news also showed no legitimate reports of them dating. Bad Bunny is single, and any connection to Jennifer Lopez right now is limited to mutual professional respect and shared Puerto Rican pride.

This post is an engagement bait from the same parody account that earlier posted debunked claims like 'People Magazine names Donald Trump as the Sexiest Man Alive'.

The timing of the post made it easy to confuse with real news, but no mainstream outlet picked it up because it isn't true. If new credible reports emerge, they would appear on sites like People, TMZ, or Billboard.
