Bad Bunny joked that he and the jewelry creator “met while sinning,” in a May 2020 interview with Rolling Stone. Notwithstanding his suggestive reply, he walked back his words, revealing that his and Gabriela’s initial meeting in 2017 was far more understated. “It was after I performed at a Zion and Lennox concert, here in Puerto Rico.

What Is Gabriela’s Profession?
The “Me Porto Bonito” performer’s passion for style is broadly recognized, and he evidently shares that affection with Gabriela. She presides over a jewelry brand dubbed Diciembre Ventinueve (Translation: December 29), which she unveiled in 2020. Her collection is crafted by hand in Puerto Rico, as per the brand’s Instagram description, and she showcases a vast selection of pendants, wristbands, earrings, and bands.

Gabriela and Bad Bunny Have Joined Forces
When Bad Bunny unveiled his surprise LP Las Que No Iban A Salir in May 2020, the closing track featured an unexpected guest singer.

She also made an appearance on the closing section of his 2022 track “El Apagón,” according to Genius.
Those aren’t the only instances that they’ve teamed up musically. When Bad Bunny was immersed in his collaboration with Jennifer Lopez, “Te Gusté,” Gabriela played an integral part in the proceedings. “Gabriela laid down reference vocals for J. Lo’s parts,” he informed Rolling Stone.

In spite of guarding their relationship discreetly for a number of years, Bad Bunny shed some more light on his adoration for Gabriela since they commenced collaborating. Prior to becoming official, he’d shared that he was “in love” in a March 2020 discussion with Entertainment Tonight. He also divulged that his sense of humor is critical to their bond in his Rolling Stone interview. “I delight in making her laugh. I am always jesting and always executing something outlandish and amusing,” he remarked.
While referencing their 2022 collaboration, Bad Bunny revealed how vital it was to have Gabriela vocalize it during a New York Times conversation. “I desired someone to vocalize it out of ardor, because it’s a heartfelt communication,” he clarified.
Despite the pair appearing remarkably content together, Bad Bunny mentioned to Entertainment Tonight in Nov. 2020 that he isn’t contemplating getting married in the immediate future. “I’m not that married,” he conveyed to the outlet. “Perhaps it can be that. But I have a feeling that weddings and getting hitched unnerve me. To a great extent.”
Even though marriage wasn’t on the agenda, the pair demonstrated how committed they were when they took in a canine companion together in Feb. 2022.
Did Gabriela and Bad Bunny Part Ways?
As highlighted before, Gabriela and the American Music Award-winning artist have not communicated publicly concerning the state of their relationship for quite a span of time.

He relocated to L.A. a handful of weeks ago and secured a property,” the source confided to PEOPLE. “She favors him and is relishing herself. He is dissimilar from guys that she was with in the past. He is remarkably captivating.” That February, the pair were captured exiting a Beverly Hills eatery following a supposed double rendezvous with Justin and Hailey Bieber, according to TMZ.
Kendall and Bad Bunny were photographed in public together countless instances — encompassing flaunting PDA following a dinner date which included Kendall’s sibling Kylie Jenner. They were also witnessed exiting an Oscars celebration in tandem, allegedly sharing a kiss during a dinner rendezvous in Los Angeles, and delighting in a horseback-riding rendezvous at an equestrian facility in LA in April. Matters are appearing promising for Kendall and Bad Bunny!
The pair astonished at the 2023 Met Gala; however, they elected to stroll the red carpet individually. Just a few hours after the event, the two were spotted attending an after-party as a pair, but they were careful not to display any PDA. The lovebirds donned respective outfit changes for the night out in NYC, with Kendall showcasing a translucent sequined gown and Bad Bunny opting for a simple white tee and a brown jacket.

Nonetheless, after a string of public appearances, the rapport between Kendall and Benito appears to have dissipated.
Who Else Has Bad Bunny Been Romantically Linked To?
Given how reserved Bad Bunny was concerning his liaison with Gabriela, it’s no bombshell that he was also fairly guarded concerning his former flame, Carliz De La Cruz. It seems that when Bad Bunny is in a relationship, he’s dedicated for an extended period, as he and Carliz also courted for half a decade, as per People En Espanol. In 2023, Carliz initiated legal action against Bad Bunny for $40 million, alleging that he used her recording (“Bad Bunny, baby”) in a pair of songs absent her consent.
