Lysaurie Ocasio

Bad Bunny's mother is Lysaurie Ocasio Declet, a little-known retired English school teacher. She is a Catholic faithful, and her religious convictions influenced Bunny's career. From age five to about thirteen, Bad Bunny sang in the church's children's choir.

Speaking to The Fader, he talked about his mother and father's involvement in his career and their reaction to his art. In the interview, he disclosed his mother's consistent emotional reaction to each of his songs, an expression of pride in his accomplishments. He added:

My mami and papi love my music. They are always listening to the radio, waiting for one of my songs to come on. When it does, they turn up the volume and turn it back down when it is over

Tito Martínez

Bad Bunny's dad, Tito Martínez, was a truck driver. During an appearance on Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show, Bad revealed that his father wanted him to be an athlete. This bond explains the Ser Bichote hitmaker's fascination with wrestling. In the aforementioned interview with The Fader, he said:

Papi would watch wrestling all the time when I was little, like 5 or 6 years old, but I did not watch it; I would stay playing with cars and things. Two years later, I started to watch it, and since then, I have been a huge fan of WWE. I was a huge fan of the wrestling here, too; the IWA and Papa would take us to fights.

Bad Bunny speaks highly about his parents and the love and care they hold for him, which grounds him. Speaking to Time Magazine, he said:

Outside of that house (in Almirante Sur, Vega Baja), perhaps the world is listening and talking about me. But in that house, everything is the same. Nothing has changed. It is beautiful for me to go there. They still look at me with the eyes of, ‘Come here, Benito Antonio. The baby. The son.'
