Is Bad Bunny About to Slay the ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ Title? Here’s the 2026 Tea

July 26, 2026

Bad Bunny could soon add another major accomplishment to his already impressive résumé.

While People magazine has not officially revealed its 2026 Sexiest Man Alive, the Puerto Rican superstar has become one of the biggest names in fan predictions and entertainment speculation leading up to the annual announcement.

Known for breaking records in music, redefining men’s fashion, and expanding into Hollywood, Bad Bunny has become a global pop culture icon. His massive stadium tour, high-profile appearances, and fearless style have kept him at the center of the conversation all year.

But he isn’t the only celebrity fans think has a shot.

Among the other names frequently mentioned in predictions are Glen Powell, Jeremy Allen White, Pedro Pascal, Jacob Elordi, Damson Idris, Formula 1 star Charles Leclerc, and NFL superstar Travis Kelce. Each has had a major year in entertainment, sports, or fashion, making this one of the most competitive Sexiest Man Alive conversations in recent memory.

If Bad Bunny ultimately takes home the honor, he would become one of the few Latin music artists to ever earn the title, marking another historic milestone in his career.

Of course, People magazine keeps its selection process completely under wraps, so the rumored contenders are based on fan buzz and media speculation rather than an official shortlist.

Until the announcement arrives later this year, one thing is certain: fans across social media have already made their choice, and Bad Bunny’s name is at the top of countless Sexiest Man Alive wish lists.
