Following his historic win at the 2026 Grammy Awards, Bad Bunny stunned everyone present at Super Bowl LX when he gave away one of his accolades to a young boy during the event. As such, many have wondered if the child, who unexpectedly became the recipient of Bad Bunny’s Grammy award during the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show, was actually Liam Ramos, the boy recently detained by ICE.
Who was Super Bowl Halftime Show child?
The five-year-old boy who featured in the latest Super Bowl halftime show was actually Lincoln Fox, an up-and-coming child actor, and not Liam Ramos.
The moment that sparked the debate in the first place saw Bad Bunny stop at a stand titled ‘Conejo’ during his Super Bowl set and approach a young boy who was watching his recent Grammy win on television. He then handed his Artist of the Year Grammy award to the boy, while stating, “Always believe in yourself,” as per Entertainment Tonight.
Many on the internet instantly theorized that the boy who shared the stage with the Puerto Rican singer during the Super Bowl halftime show was none other than Liam Ramos, who recently had to spend time at an ICE detention center along with his father.
However, HuffPost editor Philip Lewis has since clarified the identity of the boy, revealing that he is, in fact, a child actor named Lincoln Fox. Additionally, Fox himself clarified his appearance in the Super Bowl halftime show with an Instagram post. Sharing snaps from the event, he expressed his gratitude for the opportunity in the caption, along with a heartwarming message for Ramos.
Notably, Liam Ramos and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, were detained by ICE agents on January 20 while returning home from the boy’s preschool. The agency subsequently sent the duo to the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, to hold them.
Judge Fred Biery of the Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas described the incident as an “ill-conceived and incompetently government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children,” as per official documents procured by The New York Times.
On January 31, a Minnesota judge finally ordered the release of Liam Ramos and his father. They ultimately boarded a plane to Minnesota on February 1. According to footage shared by ABC News, Adrian Conejo Arias exclaimed as he entered the plane, “I’m happy to finally be going home.”
