Kendall Jenner found herself at the center of an awkward Super Bowl subplot as she watched her ex-boyfriend, Bad Bunny, command the halftime stage at Super Bowl LX. While millions tuned in for the Seattle Seahawks' 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots, cameras and onlookers couldn't help but notice Jenner's stiff, subdued reaction as her former flame delivered one of the most talked-about performances of the night.
The 30-year-old model attended the game at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, surrounded by Hollywood royalty. Watching from a luxury suite, Jenner stood near actor Kevin Costner while the Puerto Rican superstar electrified the field below. Though she joined the crowd of A-listers enjoying the show, her body language sparked speculation, with fans pointing out moments where she appeared uncomfortable or disengaged during the performance.
Earlier in the evening, Jenner turned heads as she arrived at the stadium wearing a black crop top and jeans, later covering up with a gray trench coat inside the venue. She also shared brief moments from the game on Instagram Stories, where she was seen cheering during gameplay rather than focusing on the halftime spectacle.

Jenner and Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, dated from early 2023 until their split in October of that year. Their relationship drew constant media attention, making their Super Bowl reunion-albeit from a distance-all the more noticeable.
During halftime, Bad Bunny delivered a mostly Spanish-language set that began with "Tití Me Preguntó," performed as he walked through a dramatic sugarcane-field stage built across the field. The show featured surprise appearances from Lady Gaga, Pedro Pascal, and later Ricky Martin, who joined him for "Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii." The performance received widespread praise from fans, though it also sparked criticism from conservative commentators, including former President Donald Trump, who labeled the show "one of the worst, EVER!"
Jenner, meanwhile, appeared more invested in the game itself. Sources noted she had placed a bet on the Patriots through Fanatics Sportsbook, leaving her visibly disappointed when New England fell short. At various points during the halftime show, she was seen chatting with friends rather than focusing on the stage, fueling online chatter about the awkward dynamic.
Bad Bunny previously appeared to reference Jenner following their breakup, posting a photo of a hat reading, "Stop dating people who don't get your music." The post was widely interpreted as a subtle dig at the model, further adding context to the tension surrounding their Super Bowl moment.
Despite their split, sources close to the former couple have insisted there is no lingering hostility. An insider previously told Entertainment Tonight, "They have crazy busy schedules and know they're still young and have a lot more to experience individually before settling down." Another source added that Jenner's family still thinks highly of the artist and wants her to be with "whoever makes her happy."
Before dating Jenner, Bad Bunny was in a long-term relationship with jewelry designer Gabriela Berlingeri from 2017 to 2022. Since the breakup, Jenner has spoken openly about wanting marriage and children someday, though she has acknowledged she is not ready to settle down just yet.
As Bad Bunny continues his rise as a global icon, and Jenner remains one of fashion's most recognizable faces, their Super Bowl crossover served as a reminder that even on the world's biggest stage, personal history can steal a few unexpected headlines.
