The groom’s representative confirmed to the Associated Press that the ceremony was legit.
He said that the couple had invited the Grammy winner to their wedding, but he suggested the pair tie the knot during the halftime show instead.
About five minutes into Bad Bunny’s 13-minute performance, viewers saw a couple in white on the field being officially pronounced man and wife, then sharing a kiss as guests, also all in white, as well as dancers and musicians surround them in celebration.

The pair then part to reveal Lady Gaga and Puerto Rican salsa band Los Sobrinos, as Gaga sang “Die With a Smile” (minus her collaborator Bruno Mars, sadly) before Bad Bunny reappeared to sing “Baile Inolvidable.”
The singer, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, danced with the wedding guests and the newlyweds, and also served as a witness and even signed their marriage certificate.
The unidentified couple went on to sit in a corner of the stage near a three-tier cake, from which they eventually cut a big slice.

Bad Bunny sang hits including “Tití me preguntó,” “Yo Perreo Sola,” “Voy a Llevarte Pa’ PR” and “NUEVAYoL” during the halftime show, which also featured Ricky Martin, who sang part of “LO QUE LE PASÓ A HAWAii,” while Jessica Alba, Cardi B, Karol G, and Pedro Pascal made appearances as dancers.
The show concluded with Bad Bunny saying “God Bless America,” before naming every country across North, Central and South America including Canada.
He then added, in Spanish, “We’re still here,” before spiking a football inscribed with the message, “Together We Are America.”

The singer initially suggested months ago that people learn Spanish but during the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show Press Conference on Thursday, he changed his tune and said that people “only have to worry about dance” to enjoy the show.
“I just want people to have fun. It’s gonna be a huge party and what people can always expect from me,” he said.
“Of course a lot of my culture, but I really don’t want to give any spoilers.”
