Bad Bunny had a very special guest join him following his Saturday Night Live hosting duties this weekend: Kendall Jenner.
The Puerto Rican rapper — whose real name is Benito Martínez Ocasio — pulled double duty by hosting and performing during the iconic show’s second episode in its 49th season. And afterward, he was joined by Jenner, 27, to celebrate his SNL stint at an afterparty at L’Avenue in New York City.
During the show, the 29-year-old artist had performed “Un Preview” — which Lady Gaga introduced during a surprise cameo — and “Monaco,” which was introduced by Pedro Pascal, as well as taking part in a number of fun skits and being joined on stage for his opening monologue by Pascal.
And while the model did not appear to have joined Bad Bunny in the SNL studio, she was by his side for the afterparty that followed.
Jenner and the rapper — who were first linked in February 2023 — were both photographed in casual looks as they left the post- SNL bash together on Saturday night.
Bad Bunny sported a cable-knit brown sweater, dark jeans and a baseball cap, while the supermodel opted for equally low-key party attire, wearing a light brown suede jacket, black T-shirt and black pants.
As well as the stylish duo, the afterparty was also attended by a number of other stars, including those who had appeared on the show.
Following her surprise SNL cameo earlier in the night, Gaga was photographed arriving at the L’Avenue bash hand-in-hand with businessman Michael Polansky.
The “Bad Romance” singer had teamed a black leather jacket featuring white fringing detail with black pants, patent lace-up stiletto boots and black sunglasses, while Polansky wore a brown jacket, black t-shirt and dark pants.
Fresh from his second appearance on SNL in a year, Pascal — who hosted the show himself back in February — also dropped into the show’s afterparty on Saturday night.
Dressed in a brown leather jacket, navy sweater and dark pants teamed with sneakers, the actor smiled at onlookers as he was spotted arriving at the venue.
Mick Jagger, who earlier in the night had appeared as a surprise guest during the latest SNL episode — taking part in two sketches alongside Bad Bunny — was also photographed heading into the L’Avenue party.
The frontman of The Rolling Stones had swapped his costumes from the skits, where he played a Spanish soap opera actor and a nun, for a tan zip-up sweater, light green pants and a navy baseball cap.
Meanwhile, the appearance of Jenner and Bad Bunny at the comedy-sketch show’s afterparty is only the latest in a string of romances to hit the show and parties that have been held afterward, following Pete Davidson and Madelyn Cline and Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s appearances from the season premiere the week before and their attendance at the subsequent SNL afterparty, also held in New York City.
The supermodel’s presence at the bash on Saturday comes just weeks after she starred with the “Mia” rapper in Gucci’s latest fashion campaign, captured by photographer Anthony Seklaoui and in which the couple “explores the intimacy of traveling together.”
The pair was also spotted in Milan in late September where they sat side-by-side for their front-row couple debut at Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2024 fashion show.
The star of The Kardashians and Bad Bunny were first linked romantically in February 2023 after being seen on a double date with Jenner’s longtime friends, Hailey and Justin Bieber.
Since then, the pair have been spotted together frequently — including at Coachella for the “Dakiti” rapper’s headlining set, on a romantic vacation to Idaho and courtside during game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals.
“They definitely seem in love and super serious,” a source told in July 2023.
Another insider confirmed to in May that the relationship “was a slow start, but they spend almost every day together now.”
“They are very cute together. Kendall is happy,” the insider added. “He is a fun guy. Very much a gentleman and charming. She likes his vibe. He is very chill.”
“He hangs out with her friends and she hangs out with his. It’s more of a relationship now,” the insider added. “Kendall is not seeing anyone else. She really likes him.”
Several days before the rapper’s SNL appearance, he announced a 31-city North American tour, named The Most Wanted Tour, which will begin in February 2024.
A press release for the new tour revealed that each of the performances will be an “experience curated for day-one fans.”
It’s certainly been a busy month for Jenner’s beau, who released his highly anticipated album, Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Mañana (Nobody Knows What Will Happen Tomorrow) the previous week.
