Was the wedding in Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show real?

On Sunday (8 February), Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny took to the field to perform his historic Super Bowl halftime show.

He performed the 14-minute set entirely in Spanish and had surprise appearances from Lady Gaga, who performed a salsa version of 'Die with a Smile', fellow Puerto Rican singer Ricky Martin, as well as Pedro Pascal, Cardi B and Jessica Alba.

At one point during the show, a wedding ceremony scene took place with a couple appearing to tie the knot.

“I declare you husband and wife, you can kiss the bride,” said the official in Spanish. Then the crowd parted to reveal Lady Gaga, who then began singing.

The moment got people wondering whether they were really getting married or if it was simply a performance as part of the show.

Following the show, it emerged that, in fact, it was a real couple and, yes, they did actually get married during the Super Bowl halftime show.
