Fans have been asking:
Who is Saturday Night Live hottie Marcello Hernández dating?
It wouldn’t happen to be Sabrina Carpenter, would it?
Marcello is gushing about his romance. Take a look!
Are they dating?
On the Monday, January 26 episode of Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, the host had a lot of questions about Marcello Hernández’s love life.
Not just questions, actually.
Opinions.
Dax had his own ideas about who Marcello should date if he isn’t already.
Are the SNL star and Sabrina Carpenter an item?
Marcello explained that he and Sabrina are just “pals” and not a romantic item.
And no, this isn’t just someone playing coy about a budding entanglement.
“I’m in a relationship with a Dominican girl,” Marcello revealed.
“She’s an architect,” he detailed.
“She’s unreal,” Marcello raved. “She went to Yale.”
Who is Marcello’s girlfriend?
However, Marcello made it clear that he wasn’t dissing Sabrina in any way, shape, or form.
“Sabrina’s awesome,” he praised.
Marcello described: “She’s really funny and cool.”
He then reiterated: “She’s great.”
However, she is not his girlfriend.
Marcello’s girlfriend is Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral.
In fact, you might remember that the couple made their red carpet debut back in July of 2025.
A few months earlier, they had appeared together at the The Phoenician Scheme‘s premiere after-party in May 2025.
Ana isn’t a secret.
But because she is an architect and not, say, a world-famous singer, it’s easier for her to fly under the radar — even when she’s stepped out in public.
Why do people think that he and Sabrina Carpenter are an item?
We could follow a lengthy and convoluted chain of social media posts speculating about Marcello and Sabrina being in a relationship.
Or we could go straight to the source.
Marcello starred as the alluring Domingo in a Saturday Night Live skit that featured Ariana Grande. Later, for SNL‘s 50th anniversary, Sabrina appeared in a reprise to that skit (given that her song, “Espresso,” was central to both).
He once again assumed the mantle of Domingo. They both looked super cute together. And that, as far as we can tell, was the first spark of speculation about the two.
But people are allowed to be cute together in a skit and not be in a real-life romance. SNL skits are not reality. Even if the political ones are getting eerily close to reality.

Jimmy Kimmel could not hold himself together on Monday night.
For good reason, too.
Two day after Alex Pretti — a 37-year-old ICU nurse — was shot and killed by Border Control in Minneapolis, Kimmel delivered an passionate monologue about the future of this nation … and his own outrage over government officials’ response to Pretti’s killing labeled him a “terrorist” for no deserved reason whatsoever.
“I spent my weekend, like probably a lot of you did, looking at my phone and just feeling shocked and sick about what is happening in Minneapolis,” Kimmel began of federal agents under the Department of Homeland Security.
“… One atrocity after another being committed by this gang of this poorly trained, shamefully led, mask-wearing goons. And that is what they are. They’re goons committing vile, heartless and even criminal acts.”
The comedian was just getting started, continuing as follows:
“It’s sickening to watch, it’s frustrating to watch. It’s like we’re all being forced to play a game that has no rules. They all just make up the rules as they go along. We see these videos, in which we clearly see one of our fellow Americans executed by ICE and they won’t even admit that it was a mistake.”
Kimmel, of course, has frequently clashed with Donald Trump.
The President even tried to get the talk show host thrown off the air a few months ago.
“Every day is a nightmare now. My wife and I have family in Minneapolis who are afraid to take their kids to school,” Kimmel went on.
“Is the plan to just keep doing this in every city that didn’t vote for Donald Trump? Does anyone on any side believe this is good leadership? We keep saying we need to find subjects we can agree on.
“Can we agree that peaceful protestors — including moms driving SUVs on their way back after dropping their 6 year old off at school, and a nurse who stepped in to protect a woman from harm — don’t deserve to be shot dead in the street by the people we are paying to protect us? Can we agree on that?”
Somehow, no. Not everyone can agree on that.
After the audiencrowdce applauded at the remarks, Kimmel demanded an “investigation” before calling out DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for “telling us that what we saw, we did not see.”
Elsewhere, Kimmel said Noem was “gaslighting” Americans over Pretti’s death.
“This one seems pretty open and shut to me,” Kimmheel said. “I think we can agree on this one. It’s on video. Look at it. Do your own research. And then once you do, once you form your own opinion without being told what you saw, say something. Where are the reasonable voices on the right? We don’t have to agree on everything, but come on.”
Kimmel also called for “new leaders,” before choking up as he sharing a message for the the two people who have recently been murdered by ICE agents, as well as the people of Minneapolis:
“These people who were looking out for their neighbors,” he said. “We want you to know that we are with you and you are not alone.”
Again, Kimmel is no fan of Trump.
But there’s VERY clear evidence of Pretti being killed by ICE agents in this case. It should not be a polarizing topic, just an infuriating one.
“Kristi Noem is telling us to accept that what we’re seeing with our eyes isn’t real. And I understand why. Her nose, face, teeth, eyes and lips aren’t real,” Kimmel added.
Growing emotional again, the host reminded viewers that Pretti was an ICU nurse, “who treated veterans, which is about as patriotic, I think, as it gets.”
He then closed with the viral footage of Pretti sharing a “final salute” for one of his patients.

In 2024, a “spontaneous” eruption of anti-Blake Lively discourse took social media by storm.
Despite clear hallmarks of a smear campaign, this narrative hoodwinked a lot of people, including Jameela Jamil, who really should have known better.
Since then, we know that a lot of women had a problem with Justin Baldoni. And it wasn’t only women.
A driver gave a deposition, offering a chilling account of an alarming conversation that he allegedly heard the controversial director give.
Sometimes, driving people around means hearing eye-popping conversations
On Monday, January 26, Us Weekly published a deposition by Kevin Alexander — Lively’s driver.
In the deposition, he recalls a “disturbing” memory of Justin Baldoni during the production of It Ends With Us.
At the time, Alexander had no idea who Baldoni was — but apparently commented to Lively after Baldoni was out of earshot.
“[Baldoni] was discussing his sexual relations with women,” Alexander described in his deposition.
He explained that he “can’t forget” the conversation because Baldoni’s alleged comments “took my focus off driving.”
According to Alexander’s deposition, Baldoni said that “he was forced on and he forced himself on women.”
Lively and one other person were present, Alexander shared.
“To me, it was very out of the ordinary to meet somebody and talk like that in a vehicle,” he reflected. “That’s why it caught my attention.”
Alexander summarized: “Basically he kept talking about his sexual relations.”
He reiterated: “I’m repeating myself I believe, but he would force himself on women. If they said no, this, that, he would revert back.”
‘It is disturbing to me’
For the most part, Alexander said, he did not pay attention to the conversation.
He knows that Baldoni discussed “more stuff” but didn’t really clock what it was.
“It is those key points when someone says, you know, forcing myself on women, women forced on me, I didn’t care,” he continued during the deposition.
“It is disturbing to me,” he expressed.
Alexander reasoned: “You can’t forget something like that.” If you have ever heard a total stranger confess something dark or upsetting to you upon first meeting, you can relate to his alleged encounter.
Alexander’s deposition shared that he had spoken to Lively about Baldoni after the car ride.
“When we got to the production office, which was down the road from that area, I pulled over, let everybody out,” he described.
He recalled: “I stated to Blake, ‘I feel very uncomfortable. Something is not right here. I would like to do a background check on him or something.’”
Alexander continued: “And later to learn that he was the producer in production of this movie.”
In the context of the sole experience that he’d had with the man, that sounds like a chilling discovery.
The details on what Baldoni allegedly said may be secondary
We don’t know what Alexander heard. Perhaps he heard a man admit to sexual misconduct, or not.
Even Alexander himself may have only heard part of the conversation — and could have been missing vital context.
However, as much as we hate to say it, these details — while otherwise important in most situations — are secondary to the overall case.
This deposition is only the latest instance that we’ve heard in which Baldoni allegedly spoke or behaved inappropriately in a workplace setting.
Alexander isn’t as famous as the multiple actresses who have come forward to describe instances of misconduct or unwelcome behavior.
