Marcello Hernandez Confirms Relationship Status And Details During Podcast Appearance
Saturday Night Live star Marcello Hernandez recently opened up about his personal life during an interview on the “Armchair Expert” podcast, hosted by Dax Shepard. While the comedian typically keeps his private life out of the spotlight, he directly addressed questions regarding his romantic status, confirming that he is currently in a committed relationship. This revelation comes amidst persistent fan speculation and viral rumors linking him to various celebrities.
During the podcast episode, Shepard playfully questioned why Hernandez was not pursuing pop singer Sabrina Carpenter, referring to their chemistry in the viral SNL “Domingo” sketch. Hernandez shut down the suggestion, stating firmly, “I’m in a relationship.” Although he declined to mention his partner’s name on air, he shared several specific details about her background. He described her as a “Dominican girl” and an “architect,” adding that she is “unreal” and “went to Yale.”
These comments appear to align with previous public appearances. In July 2025, Hernandez attended the premiere of “Happy Gilmore 2” in New York City accompanied by Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral, a Yale-educated architect and designer. While Hernandez did not explicitly name Batlle Cabral in the interview, the biographical details he provided—specifically her profession, heritage, and alma mater—strongly suggest she is the partner he referred to.
The confirmation effectively ends months of internet rumors regarding the comedian’s dating life. Following the popularity of his “Domingo” character, fans had speculated about potential romances with Carpenter and model Kaia Gerber. Hernandez dismissed these ideas, clarifying that his on-screen chemistry with Carpenter was strictly professional and friendly.
Hernandez, who joined the SNL cast in 2022, has seen his profile rise significantly due to his energetic performances and culturally resonant sketches. Despite his growing fame, he has largely maintained boundaries regarding his private life. His recent comments offer a rare glimpse into his off-screen world, indicating a serious commitment to his partner while continuing to navigate his escalating career in comedy and television.
