Bad Bunny might have taken his music career worldwide, but there is one thing he's keeping relatively private: his relationship with Gabriela Berlingeri.

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has been dating the singer and jewelry designer since 2017, though the pair have kept many details about their romance quiet. It took them nearly three years to make their first red carpet appearance together, and they've only occasionally posted each other on social media.
