The Met Gala is no stranger to viral moments, but this year, it wasn’t just the couture turning heads. A short, slightly awkward exchange between Bad Bunny and Kris Jenner quickly became one of the night’s most talked-about clips. As cameras rolled and guests moved through the venue, the two were seen sharing a quick hug, polite but noticeably brief.

Online reactions came quickly, and people didn’t hold back. Many focused on the past connection between Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner, turning the clip into a viral meme moment. One user joked, “The Met Gala really turns into the ultimate pop culture crossover episode every year.” Another made a sarcastic comment, “Kris thinking I already don’t know how else to stretch my face to look young, and this guy shows up dressed as an old man ffs.” A third user said, “networking level maxed out, he’s not missing a single opportunity.”
Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner’s rumored relationship got a lot of attention while it lasted, and for a time, he was closely connected to the Kardashian-Jenner circle. Kris Jenner, known for maintaining relationships across her family’s wide social and professional circles, appeared to handle the interaction with her usual composure. The hug may have been brief, but it remained friendly, with no visible tension.
Their relationship started after Kendall Jenner ended her two-year relationship with Devin Booker in November 2022. At the same time, Bad Bunny had earlier been linked to Gabriela Berlingeri. The couple had a very public, on-and-off relationship that started in early 2023. They were often seen together and even did a Gucci campaign before breaking up later that year. They briefly got back together in 2024 and attended Vogue World in Paris, but by 2026, both had moved on. Reports say Kendall Jenner is dating Jacob Elordi.
