Met Gala Afterparty Romance Rumors Between Bad Bunny and Sabrina Carpenter Officially Debunked

Romance rumors circulating since May 5 — sparked by social media speculation that Bad Bunny and Sabrina Carpenter had left a 2026 Met Gala afterparty together — were officially debunked by May 7, 2026. Celebrity gossip aggregator DeuxMoi and multiple outlets including Reality Tea and Yahoo Entertainment reported that Carpenter had left the afterparty with friends, not with Bad Bunny. Both Carpenter and Bad Bunny had been confirmed attendees at the Met Gala on May 4, where Bad Bunny wore his headline-making hyper-realistic aged-prosthetics look. The rumor cycle began partly because Latination had listed Carpenter as among the expected attendees alongside Bad Bunny in its pre-event coverage. The rapid spread and subsequent debunking further extended the cultural footprint of Bad Bunny's Met Gala moment — which included his viral interaction with Kris Jenner — well into the following week.
