The pair who exchanged vows live during Bad Bunny’s 2026 Super Bowl halftime performance are sharing details about their extraordinary big day — one the groom described as a “beautiful opportunity of a lifetime.”
Roughly five minutes into the Puerto Rican superstar’s set at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the show took a romantic turn. Eleisa “Elli” Aparico and Thomas “Tommy” Wolter were married right on the field, surrounded by dancers dressed in white. After sealing their vows with a kiss, the newlyweds cut into a towering wedding cake and shared their first dance as Lady Gaga performed a salsa rendition of “Die With A Smile.”
Later that evening, on Sunday, Feb. 8, Aparico reposted a clip from the ceremony to her Instagram Stories, writing, “My heart is so full. This experience has been nothing short of amazing.” She also thanked Bad Bunny — born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio — in Spanish: “Gracias por enfatizar el amor, Benito, porque siempre es necesario 🤍,” meaning, “Thank you for emphasizing love, Benito, because it’s always necessary.” She added a loving note to her husband: “Te amo mi amore @teezuspiece” (“I love you, my love”).
Earlier that day, Wolter shared his excitement on Instagram, calling it “one of the biggest days of my entire life” and expressing gratitude for his family, friends, and bride. After the ceremony, he wrote, “The best part of the night was getting a wife 🥹 I love you @ellly_bean.” The following day, he posted a wedding photo with the caption: “An unforgettable dance with the love of my life. Cannot thank @badbunnypr enough for this beautiful opportunity of a lifetime.”
In a press release after the Apple Music Halftime Show, Bad Bunny’s team confirmed the wedding was real and explained how it came together. The couple had originally invited the artist to attend their wedding, but instead were invited to become part of the halftime show. During the live performance, Bad Bunny served as a witness and signed their marriage certificate, turning the moment into a joyful onstage celebration complete with a wedding cake.
The ceremony was part of a larger tribute to Puerto Rican culture woven throughout the show, highlighting its central message of love. As the performance concluded, a banner displayed a powerful reminder: “The Only Thing More Powerful Than Hate Is Love.”
