Kendall Jenner was seen cozying up to her ex Bad Bunny at a Met Gala afterparty in 2024. They were spotted enjoying cocktails and sharing laughs at the Après in New York City. The event was hosted by Emily Ratajkowski, Paloma Elsesser, Renell Medra, Carlos Nazario, Francesco Risso, and Raúl Lopez.
For the after hours party, the reality TV star chose to wear a custom white corset and lace-adorned mini dress by Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood. She was also seen in a second outfit, an archival white leather corset by Givenchy paired with a silk skirt. The rapper opted for a black leather jacket, a white undershirt, and brown slacks.
Their night out happened less than six months after the former couple broke up in December 2023. According to an insider who spoke exclusively to We at the time, "friends weren't surprised" by the split. The insider also mentioned, "They never really believed their relationship would last in the long run."
Jenner's friends initially questioned the strength of her relationship with Bad Bunny. They believed that Kendall was more compatible with her previous partners. However, considering Kendall's history of on-off relationships, they wouldn't be shocked if she decided to reconcile with him in the future.

Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner were recently spotted at Gucci Ancora during Milan Fashion Week on September 22, 2023 in Milan, Italy. The event was captured by Jacopo M. Raule/Getty Images for Gucci.
The Grammy winner and Jenner first sparked dating rumors in February 2023 after they were seen on a date in Beverly Hills. Despite attending the 2023 Met Gala separately that spring, they were later seen together at an afterparty.
Bad Bunny discussed rumors about his relationship with Jenner in a June 2023 interview with Rolling Stone. He acknowledged the speculation, stating, "I know something is going to come out. People know everything about me, so what’s left for me to protect? My private life, my personal life."
When questioned about Jenner, Bad Bunny emphasized the importance of privacy, saying, "That’s the only answer. In the end, the only thing I have is my privacy."
In her interview with WSJ. Magazine, Jenner shared her perspective on balancing privacy and sacredness in her life. She expressed the importance of not letting outside pressures interfere with her enjoyment of personal moments.
Jenner mentioned that she prefers to keep things private as much as possible, believing it is a healthier approach to relationships.
Bad Bunny served as a co-chair with Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, and Jennifer Lopez on Monday. He arrived at the Met Costume Institute’s “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit in a custom navy blue suit from Maison Margiela. Bad Bunny accessorized with an oversized beret, quirky sunglasses, leather gloves, and a bouquet of flowers. Meanwhile, Jenner made her entrance in a shimmering floor-length Givenchy gown.
Editor's P/S:
The recent sightings of Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny have sparked speculation about a possible reconciliation between the former couple. Despite their breakup in December 2023, their cozy behavior at the Met Gala afterparty suggests a lingering connection. However, Jenner's preference for privacy and her history of on-off relationships make it difficult to predict the future of their relationship.
Bad Bunny's comments about the importance of privacy align with Jenner's own views on maintaining a balance between public and personal life. Both celebrities emphasize the need to protect their private moments from outside pressures. This shared understanding may contribute to the strength of their bond and could potentially pave the way for a future reconciliation.
