Bad Bunny has once again become the talk of the internet, this time for a peculiar encounter at the 2026 Met Gala. The Puerto Rican superstar, known for his chart-topping hits and bold fashion choices, attended the exclusive event in New York City disguised as a 90-year-old man. According to a report from Page Six, the disguise didn't stop him from trying to charm a fellow guest.
Model Brooks Nader revealed that her younger sister, Grace Ann Nader, had a strange interaction in the restroom with an "old man" who had a surprisingly young voice. The man, who was later revealed to be Bad Bunny, asked for Grace Ann's phone number. Grace Ann, who attended the gala with her boyfriend Jack Jones, didn't recognize the artist behind the prosthetics and politely declined.
"She called me and said, 'I was in the bathroom with a man who looked about 90 years old, but he had a very young voice and asked for my number,'" Brooks recounted with a laugh. After seeing photos of Bad Bunny's red carpet look, Brooks jokingly called her sister an "idiot" for not recognizing one of the world's most streamed artists.
Social Media Reacts: Where Does Gabriela Berlingeri Fit In?
The story quickly went viral, especially after being picked up by celebrity gossip accounts like Deuxmoi. Fans of the Un Verano Sin Ti singer immediately began questioning the status of his relationship with Gabriela Berlingeri, the Puerto Rican designer he has been linked to on and off for years. The couple was spotted on a romantic getaway in São Paulo just a few months ago, in February, leading many to believe they were back together. This latest incident has sparked anger among some fans, who have taken to social media to tag Berlingeri in discussions about the flirtation.
This isn't the first time the Nader family has made headlines for their candidness. Last year, Grace Ann accidentally leaked details about her sister's brief romance with tennis star Carlos Alcaraz, which led to a temporary social media block from Brooks. The family's "no-filter" approach to sharing personal stories has made them a favorite among gossip columns.
Bad Bunny's Met Gala disguise was part of a larger trend of celebrities using prosthetics to transform their appearance for the event. The singer, who has been known for his fashion-forward collaborations, including his Benito Antonio line at Zara, continues to push boundaries in both music and style. His ability to keep the public guessing, whether through his music or his personal life, is a testament to his enduring appeal.
As of now, neither Bad Bunny's team nor Gabriela Berlingeri have issued official statements regarding the incident. The singer remains focused on his growing empire, which includes real estate ventures and a successful music career. Whether this Met Gala moment will have any lasting impact on his personal life remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Bad Bunny knows how to keep the world talking.
