Bad Bunny and LeBron James spark bromance as pair party hard with lots of women at swanky Puerto Rico hotel
An insider close to the festivities exclusively told The U.S. Sun that the unlikely pair enjoyed each other's company during the opening weekend for Bad Bunny's residency in his native island.

The performer is at the start of a once-in-a-lifetime run of 30 sold-out shows in his hometown at the iconic Coliseo de Puerto Rico.
The source, who was an eyewitness to much of the revelry, revealed just how invested Bad Bunny, 31, has been in ensuring these concerts benefit the island and serve its people.
"It's an elaborate thing where he is making the tickets available at a low price, you have to prove you're a fan and a Puerto Rican resident, like people have to get the tickets at the supermarket he worked at when he was a kid."
The insider said LeBron, 40, was not only at the concert and vibing to the music, but he also hung out with the singer for much of the lead-up to the first show.
"LeBron was at the concert, there were a bunch of videos of them together, but before that, they had hung out and played golf together all day," the insider said of the performer and the Los Angeles Lakers player.
The insider added that the NBA star is still a newbie at golfing and has been enjoying the sport lately.
"After all that they partied their a**es off at the St Regis property nearby with a lot of beautiful women."
"They have this fun new bromance energy going on," the source added.
Bad Bunny started his residency on July 12, and has a whirlwind of 30 dates over the next month, before he kicks off his world tour, which notably does not include any shows in the 50 states.
The Puerto Rican icon is very single, and clearly ready to mingle, as he has not had any serious public relationship since his split from Kendall Jenner last year.
LeBron is married to his wife of 12 years, Savannah James.
BAD SPLIT
Fans noticed the couple had split when they both appeared at the US Open, separately, in September.
Fans noticed the duo sitting apart during the match, leading many to speculate that it was a sign their relationship had come to an end.
"Bad Bunny and Kendall definitely broke up - they are sitting separately," one person wrote in a popular online thread, starting the discussion.
"To be honest they always seemed like a hot fling kind of thing. I can see them going back and forth for fun but unsure if anything serious will come out of it," someone else said, after having brought up that the pair dated previously and had split in December of 2023.
Before the U.S. Open sighting, the pair hadn't been seen together since June at Paris Fashion Week, which had further fueled the rumor at the time.

EXCLUSIVE Oasis megafan with stage 4 cancer who thought he had missed his chance to see the band perform is surprised by childhood friends with tickets
A man with stage four cancer was stunned after being surprised with Oasis tickets after he was too ill to secure them when they went on sale last year. Lee Brown, 50, from Sheffield, was diagnosed in 2016 with gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), a rare type of cancer that develops in the digestive system. The Oasis megafan had a 26cm tumour growing in his stomach and has had three surgeries in the last nine years in an attempt to cure the disease. However, three months ago, Lee and his family were told by medics that his treatment was no longer working. He is now regularly travelling between South Yorkshire and the Royal Marsden Hospital in London for a clinical trial in the hope it will help his cancer. The mental health community team leader was disappointed last August when he was too ill to secure Oasis tickets for their comeback tour this year and thought he had missed his chance to see his favourite band perform once again. That was until his best friends decided to surprise him with tickets to see Liam and Noel Gallagher perform at Heaton Park, Manchester - their home city - on Saturday, after raising money through a secret Just Giving page. Lee told MailOnline: 'Oasis has been the soundtrack of our friendship and our lives. I last saw them in Chicago in 2001. 'I was pretty ill when the tickets went on sale and thought I had missed my chance. Jane did a secret Just Giving appeal for my ticket last week in social media without my knowledge and the £800 was raised in four hours from her making a post, apparently. I can't thank her and everyone who donated enough.' The father-of-three added: 'The concert was everything I thought it would be and more! Words can't do it justice. Unreal!' Lee posted a video on X showing his childhood friends David Wroe, Paul Deacon and Jane Wroe, pulling up to his house blasting Stand By Me clad in Oasis branded merchandise. 'Have you seen him? Have you really come to show off? You're kidding,' Lee said while playfully shaking his head. They then got out of the car before handing him a letter, while saying: 'We've come to show off, we've not got you a ticket, don't be daft, they're like £4,000 each.' He then read Jane's letter aloud and said: 'To my adopted brother Lee, Stop Crying Your Heart Out because you, me and David are off to Heaton Park to see Oasis. There's no-one we'd rather have next to us 'You're more than a brother, you're more than a mate, you're a hero and this is our way of saying thank you for being you. Take your bucket hat because your dream of Oasis is coming true. 'We're going to Rock 'N' Roll Stars. Yes, we'll be filming your reaction, no we won't be deleting the footage ever. There's another surprise at the back of the car.' In the back of Jane and David's car was Lee's other childhood best friend, David, who got out and surprised him with a big, emotional hug. WHAT IS GIST? GIST stands for GastroIntestinal Stromal Tumour. A GIST can occur when special cells within the wall of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract change so that they grow more than they should. GISTS often have no symptoms but it can vary depending on size and location of the tumour. Symptoms: Fatigue (tiredness and a feeling of weakness) Weight loss Tummy (abdominal) discomfort or pain A painless lump in the abdomen Being sick (vomiting) Blood in the stools (bowel motions) or vomit Anaemia (low level of red blood cells) Source: NHS He said: 'David and Paul have been my best mates since eight years of age and Jane is David's sister, who I have known since she was born and see as my own little sister. I also have the best group of friends. It's a unique and strong bond we've all had throughout our lives.' 'My favourite part was my favourite song Live Forever, which is more and more poignant as time goes on. But it was all honestly immense, I sang every word. I hope [Noel and Liam] know how much this has meant to so many people. 'I think in such a tough time in the UK, the [Noel and Liam] need to realise the happiness and magic they have brought back into people's lives and my story is one of many that show that.' Although he had the best time with his closest friends, Lee said that his 'only tinge of sadness' was that he couldn't go with his family, especially his 16-year-old son Freddie 'who shares my deep passion for everything Sheffield Wednesday and Oasis'. He added: 'Hopefully I will still be around the next time they tour and we can share that moment together.' Since being diagnosed with cancer, Lee has raised over £100,000 for different charities, including £20,000 for GIST Cancer UK to help work towards a cure. 'This has all been done with the help of my amazing friends and family,' he said, including his partner Lisa, 50, and his children Hanaa, 29, Lily, 17, Freddie, 16 and his granddaughter Piper, four, who he 'adores'. Lee, his family and his friends are all hopeful that his clinical trial the Royal Marsden Hospital in London will help his cancer. 'It's an amazing hospital and exciting trial, so I remain positive,' he said.

Stand by me! Moment dozens of 'disabled' Oasis fans get out of wheelchairs and start dancing at comeback gig in 'biblical' scenes
Seeing Oasis play together again was the only miracle that fan Mark Chapman had expected to see this month – then the wheelchair users next to him stood up. The 32–year–old, who has been unable to walk since the age of nine, has described the 'biblical' scenes at Manchester's Heaton Park as other fans in the accessible area abandoned their crutches when the Gallagher brothers took to the stage. He suspects fans desperate to secure briefs for the band's reunion tour are to blame – after snapping them up from resellers who bought tickets meant for those with genuine disabilities and reselling them online. Accessible area tickets for the show were on secondary resale site Viagogo for £634 each, and were sold in pairs, according to the SWNS news agency - despite companion tickets being added free of charge when booked officially. Videos and images Mr Chapman shared online showed crutches and wheelchairs ditched in the raised seating area, which is intended for those unable to stand. Around him, dozens of people were on their feet. The music superfan believes lax checks allowed those who had snapped up the resold ballots to enter while appearing to pretend they had a disability – before seemingly abandoning all pretence to boogie with the brothers. He himself struggled to get tickets for the accessible area and ultimately had to buy standard tickets for himself and carer Sam Priest, who would normally be given a free ticket in order to accompany him. The Oasis fan was later able to get a refund for Sam's ticket after he contacted organisers to explain the situation – and had to join a waiting list to enter the raised accessible area on the day itself. He suspects people snapped up tickets for the accessible area via resale sites. Some were listed on Viagogo for £634 each - despite the fact carers go free with official vendors He said: 'There were loads of people in wheelchairs and with crutches, but when Oasis came on they all jumped out their wheelchairs and dropped their crutches and stood up for the whole gig for two hours. 'Me being quite severely disabled, I know that standing up for two hours is very, very unlikely.' Carer Sam added: 'We were joking Jesus Christ must have been on the platforms, there were so many miracles performed that night.' Mark was diagnosed with life–shortening Duchenne muscular dystrophy when he was five years old. The music podcaster, who went to over 100 gigs last year, has been an Oasis fan for 25 years and has seen Liam Gallagher perform live solo eight times. So, when the band announced they were reuniting Mark, from Wilmslow in Cheshire, was ecstatic. But he has since labelled the behaviour of those who appeared to feign disability 'appalling' and said their behaviour was tantamount to 'abuse'. 'The behavior of some attendees was unacceptable as they clearly weren't disabled,' he later said in a social media post. He added: 'They were literally just standing for the whole time, they kept leaving the platform and joining their friends in front of the platform and leaving their wheelchairs behind and crutches behind, and when they went to the toilet. 'It's really frustrating. I could see people in front of the platform who were clearly struggling who had to stand there without a seat, and there were people on the platform who didn't need to be there. 'A lot of my friends applied who were also disabled and they didn't get any tickets whatsoever. 'It was frustrating knowing that there's people who needed to be there who couldn't.' Similarly, a man with cerebral palsy who went viral earlier earlier this month after he was held aloft by fans to see the gig on Friday July 11 had been unable to get access to the accessible seating area. Daniel Tester, 37, was held up by fellow Britpop fans to see the show after his sister Jemma was unable to get hold of the tickets meant for those with disabilities. BBC News reports that Jemma had been 'unable to secure access' to the area for her brother, who uses a wheelchair. Both fans say the gig was life–changing all the same – but questions remain over why fans with disabilities struggled to access the area meant for them while those who were seemingly not disabled could carry on with impunity. The Oasis tour is continuing through the end of July and August in the UK and Ireland before heading across to North America. The Gallaghers then return to Wembley for further shows in September. Accessible tickets for September shows at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium are listed on Viagogo for up to £789, MailOnline found today. The tickets are listed as being for the 'West Accessible' zone of the rugby stadium. In the months ahead of the tour, Ticketmaster had vowed to cancel thousands of tickets that it believed had been listed for resale. Briefs were being offered for amounts in excess of £7,000 after seemingly being snapped up by professional touts. Some fans have opted not to even buy tickets for Oasis at all - instead climbing huge metal fences or even disguising themselves as litter pickers in order to see the shows. The Government is currently mulling over how to tackle the problem of professional touting following a consultation earlier this year.
