Bad Bunny had a big night at the Grammy Awards, making history as the first artist to win the prestigious Album of the Year award for an all-Spanish album. While his heartfelt acceptance speech, mostly in Spanish, made headlines, fans also took note of the reaction of one celebrity in the crowd. The camera panned during Sabrina Carpenter’s remarks, and the singer licked her lips as she stared at him.
Earlier in the night, the two, who have worked together in the past, caught up during a commercial break.
They were photographed talking and even posed together.
After the show ended, Carpenter publicly showed further support for Bad Bunny by liking his Instagram about the Grammy win.
Carpenter and Bad Bunny collaborated last year, performing together in a sketch for Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary special.
Additionally, both are publicly single and have expressed in interviews their desire to keep their personal lives private.
In September 2024, Carpenter told W Magazine that she had no intention of discussing her love life publicly. “I understand why people would be interested,” she admitted. “But they can listen to my album and decide for themselves what the songs are about.”
Earlier that year, she opened up more about her approach to dating in Cosmopolitan magazine, saying: “For me, a lot of it was destiny. I know it’s very pervasive, but I’m not actively looking for it. The relationships that I want to actually put energy into have to be something really interesting or exhilarating because they take me away from other things that I like. So, yeah, it’s fun, but it’s awkward. I think I’m just still in this place where I’m really enjoying the newness of it all. ” Since then, she has become more reserved about her love life.
Meanwhile, rumors of Bad Bunny’s engagement surfaced after a fan spotted a Cartier diamond ring on his left ring finger at the Grammy Awards. A source denied the speculation on Monday, telling TMZ that the rapper is not currently dating anyone. This ring was just a gift that he wore as a statement item.
In 2023, Bad Bunny told Vanity Fair that he had “no interest” in publicly talking about his love life, amid speculation that he was dating Kendall Jenner at the time. “I’m not really interested in revealing anything because I’m not going to reveal anything to anyone,” he said.
In early 2025, he denied the idea that his song “DtMF” was about Jenner post-breakup, stating that his inspiration for the music was more subtle. “I’ve been writing songs inspired by people who have no idea who they are,” he told Time magazine in January 2025. “The meaning of this song can change with many different things, such as the absence of someone who is no longer with you, or love. But it can also mean many other things that are no longer with you.”
