Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner are the kind of celebrity pairing that never fully leaves the group chat. Even when they’re not posting, not confirming, and not doing the “hard launch” thing, they still manage to pop up in the same conversation every few months — usually triggered by a big event, a new sighting, or (let’s be honest) the internet deciding it’s time to spin the wheel again.
So, are they still dating in early February 2026? Based on what reputable outlets are reporting right now, there’s no solid confirmation that they are — and multiple recent pieces point in the opposite direction: that they’re not currently together, even if they remain on good terms.
The headline reality: “still dating” is unconfirmed
The most reliable way to describe Bad Bunny’s relationship status at the moment is: publicly unclear, privately guarded, and not officially attached. Recent reporting from Glamour and InStyle both say he appears to be single as of February 2026, noting that he hasn’t been officially linked to anyone in a confirmed way since his on-and-off relationship with Kendall cooled down.
That language matters. “Appears to be” isn’t a marriage certificate or a relationship press release — it’s simply the most honest conclusion available from public evidence and mainstream reporting.
What we do know about Kendall and Bad Bunny’s status: the “friendly terms” narrative
A very telling recent detail comes from fashion-and-celebrity coverage around Super Bowl 2026: Elle reports that Kendall and Bad Bunny dated on and off until September 2024, and that they remain on friendly terms.
That’s a key distinction. “Friendly exes” is a real category in celebrity life, especially when two people run in overlapping circles and don’t want post-breakup drama becoming its own storyline.
Kendall’s own vibe lately: “intentionally single”
Kendall has also been described as taking a deliberate pause from dating. Elle notes that she’s talked about being intentionally single for about the past year, framing it as a “me year” after spending much of her twenties in back-to-back relationships.
That doesn’t prove she isn’t dating — celebrities can date quietly — but it does suggest she’s not in a publicly serious, headline-driving relationship right now.
The relationship timeline that keeps fueling “back together” rumors
If you feel like you’ve heard “Kendall and Bad Bunny are back” roughly 40 times, that’s because their timeline has been episodic.
Mainstream timelines (like PEOPLE’s earlier relationship breakdowns) track a pattern: dating rumors beginning in early 2023, a split in late 2023, then renewed “are they back?” energy in 2024 after they were seen together again at high-profile events.
What changed by 2026 is that the more recent reporting points to the relationship being over, even if not dramatic. And because neither of them seems interested in giving the public a clean, quotable “We are not together” statement, the lack of finality becomes the rumor’s oxygen.
Bad Bunny’s approach to romance: almost aggressively private
Another consistent thread across coverage is how intensely Bad Bunny protects his personal life. PEOPLE’s recent look at his dating history emphasizes that he avoids discussing relationships publicly and prefers to keep that part of his life out of the spotlight.
That privacy strategy is exactly why every tiny “clue” gets overanalyzed — because fans aren’t getting direct answers, so the internet tries to reverse-engineer the truth from event attendance, friend sightings, and lyrics.
“So who is Bad Bunny dating?” The most supported answer: no one confirmed
If you’re looking for a name, the honest answer is: there isn’t one that’s confirmed.
Recent reporting suggests:
Bad Bunny appears to be single in February 2026.
There’s been speculation about his ex Gabriela Berlingeri because she posted supportive content around the 2026 Grammys — but the same reporting stresses there’s no solid evidence they’re back together.
In celebrity culture, supportive posts and friendly proximity can mean romance… or they can mean people stayed respectful after a breakup. Right now, reputable sources are treating it as speculation, not confirmation.
A quick refresher: Bad Bunny’s serious relationships before Kendall
Bad Bunny’s dating history has a few big chapters, and they help explain why fans are always trying to connect dots.
According to PEOPLE, he dated Carliz de la Cruz Hernández from around 2011 to 2017 (with reports they were briefly engaged). PEOPLE also notes she later filed a lawsuit in 2023 regarding alleged unauthorized use of her voice in his songs.
Then there’s Gabriela Berlingeri, a long-term relationship that also blurred into creative collaboration — the kind of partnership fans don’t forget quickly. PEOPLE describes them as private but significant, and notes her support around the 2026 Grammys has fueled renewed chatter.
And then came Kendall: high-profile, heavily photographed, fashion-campaign-adjacent, and basically designed to dominate headlines.
Why this question is trending again now
It’s not random timing. Early February is a perfect storm:
Big entertainment moments (awards season + major events)
Bad Bunny staying culturally omnipresent
Kendall re-entering the “everyone’s watching” zone around Super Bowl week coverage
When celebrities are visible, people ask relationship questions. When they’re private, people ask them louder.
What to take as fact — and what to treat as rumor
Here’s the cleanest way to hold the truth without letting the gossip swallow it:
Strongly supported / reported:
Kendall and Bad Bunny were on-and-off through September 2024, and are described as being on friendly terms.
Bad Bunny appears to be single as of February 2026, per multiple recent entertainment outlets.
Unconfirmed / speculation:
Any claim that Kendall and Bad Bunny are secretly back together right now.
Any claim that Bad Bunny is officially dating (or engaged to) someone new.
This story deals with celebrity relationship status, which can change quickly and is often kept private. As of February 2026, reputable outlets report that Bad Bunny appears to be single and Kendall has discussed being intentionally single, but neither has publicly issued an official “status update.”
