“But the important thing is always to be yourself and be … open and be honest always,” he explained to the outlet. “You have to be honest from the beginning and yourself … never pretend to please them.” 

The jewelry designer first appeared on the YHLQMDLG artist’s Instagram page in March 2020, in the last photo in a series of snaps and videos from a photo shoot. Gabriela started showing up on Bad Bunny’s page more often when to coronavirus pandemic forced people into quarantine. However, the lovebirds didn’t make their relationship Instagram official until April 2020, when she made out with him in a video while he rocked a sexy drag look amid shooting his music video for “Yo Perreo Sola.”

In his May cover story for Rolling Stone, he opened up further about his lady love. “Do people really think I’m spending quarantine alone?” he asked in the interview. “No! I am with someone, she is very special in my life. This quarantine has made me understand that she is the best companion I could have.” He added, “I am happy with her. [People] don’t know she has helped me a lot in emotional aspects when I needed it the most.”
