Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio on March 10, 1994, is 31 years old as of early 2026, having celebrated his 31st birthday in March 2025. He is a Puerto Rican rapper, singer, and songwriter known for Latin trap, reggaeton, and his global music impact.
Singer and now future Super Bowl halftime performer Bad Bunny has never been married. Although he's never had a wife, he has had several girlfriends. One of them is very prominent, and the other was with him for years. Kendall Jenner and Gabriela Berlingeri are among the women Bad Bunny has dated.
In Latin America very few male artists have spoken pro the LGBTQ community, and besides Ricky Martin of course who was the first Latin superstar to ever come out. Bad Bunny has been supportive and ally toward the community.
1 most-streamed artist of 2025, with nearly 20 billion streams worldwide. Bad Bunny, who will perform the halftime show at the 2026 Super Bowl, overtook Taylor Swift this year as the top artist globally. Swift was recognized with the title last year after racking up more than 26.6 billion global streams in 2024.
Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio was born on March 10, 1994, in Bayamón, and was raised in the Almirante Sur barrio of Vega Baja, Puerto Rico.
"My first kiss for a movie and it was with a man," he said in a recent interview with TIME. "That's the penalty I get for being with so many women during my life." As far as Bunny was concerned, a same-sex kiss was no big deal if that was what the performance called for.
For the last two years, Swift has commanded the top spot, globally — claiming it in 2023 and holding it for 2024 — having dethroned Bad Bunny. He held the coveted title for three years in a row beginning in 2020. Now, he's back on top.
Bad Bunny returns to the top after having the most streams in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Rounding out the Top Five for this year are the Weeknd at Number 3, Drake at Number 4, and Billie Eilish at Number 5.
"I also think Rosalia is a great artist," she said during the interview. Fans of the singer shared their excitement, as many are aware that Bad Bunny has declared his appreciation for Gaga multiple times, attending her concerts and even wearing 'Chromatic' merch.
The term “genderqueer” emerged in the 1990s (see Whittle, 1996). It can be defined as “any type of trans identity that is not always male or female. It is [also] where people feel they are a mixture of male and female” (Monro, 2005, p. 13).
In case you didn't know, Bad Bunny is the eldest of three brothers. The Boricua superstar is close with his younger brothers Bernie and Bysael Martínez Ocasio, who were born in 1997 and 2002 respectively.
