The little boy seen at the end of Bad Bunny‘s Super Bowl Halftime Show was NOT Liam Ramos.
During Sunday night’s Apple Music performance, a young boy was seen watching a clip of the artist’s Grammy Awards acceptance speech on TV in a living room when Bad Bunny approached, handed him his award, and patted him on the head. Viewers quickly speculated that it was Liam, a 5-year-old who was detained by ICE in Texas alongside his father while returning home from preschool in Minneapolis in January. They were released just over a week ago following a judge’s order.

Despite widespread speculation, a publicist for Bad Bunny via NPR Music confirmed that was not Ramos. A rep for the Conejo Ramos family also told Minnesota Public Radio that it was not Liam at the NFL game.
It has been confirmed that the child was actually a child star named Lincoln Fox, a model and actor who has been in commercials for brands like Walmart and Target. It was intended to be a moment representing young Bad Bunny seeing his dreams come true. Lincoln reflected on the special moment (below):
So, that clears that up! It was still a very powerful moment in an inspiring and entertaining show!
