Saturday Night Live, Season 52, Saturdays, 11:30/10:30c, NBC
Marcello Hernández
Though he took his mom as his date to the 2026 Emmys, Hernández is still in a relationship with Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral. The comedian has been dating the Dominican Republic-born architect since at least January 2025, though they confirmed their romance for the first time that July. They most recently attended the US Open together in September 2026.
Colin Jost
Jost has an A-list romance with wife Scarlett Johansson, and they largely keep their relationship away from the spotlight. In fact, in September 2026, the couple made their first joint red carpet appearance in over a year at the 64th New York Film Festival.
SNL is central to their love story. Jost and Johansson met when the latter hosted the show in 2006. Jost recalled writing a sketch for his future wife in his 2020 memoir, A Very Punchable Face. “The only line I remember from the sketch is when Scarlett’s bratty character says, ‘This party is literally worse than the Holocaust,'” he wrote. “That was my Shakespearean sonnet for the woman I would one day fall in love with.”
The performers didn’t confirm their romance until 2017, and they married in 2020. Their son, Cosmo, was born in 2021. They also coparent Johansson’s 12-year-old daughter Rose, whom she shares with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
Sarah Sherman
In a December 2025 New Yorker profile, Sarah Sherman confirmed she had a long term boyfriend: Dan Sloan, an academic. Sherman confirmed she was in a relationship for the first time via an Elle interview in February 2025. She said her boyfriend had keys to her apartment. “My boyfriend, that’s right, ladies,” she said.
Kenan Thompson
Kenan Thompson hasn’t publicly dated anyone since his April 2022 divorce from Christina Evangeline, a former model. They wed in 2011, and their first daughter, Georgia, was born in 2014. Gianna came along in 2018. Evangeline had a relationship with SNL alum Chris Redd, who left the show in 2022. It was reported that there was no overlap in their relationships.
Michael Che
Michael Che isn’t known to be dating anyone publicly, though he recently joked about going on a double date with Jost and his wife during his upcoming comedy special, Michael Che: Shot in Minnesota.
Che keeps his love life on the down low overall. A few years ago, he made headlines when former Real Housewives of New York star Leah McSweeney claimed Che was “rude” to her on a dating app. Che also has made it known that he won’t date famous women.
Ben Marshall
Ben Marshall also hasn’t shared details about his current dating life or relationship status. The comedian did share some past dating stories during a July 2026 interview with Cosmopolitan.
“My freshman year of college, I was still dating my high school girlfriend, who was a senior in high school,” the 31-year-old recalled. “Spring break, I flew home to go to prom with her, and she breaks up with me immediately — but she still wants me to go to prom with her. I’m like, ‘This is crazy. I’m gonna go play basketball, blow off some steam,’ and then I sprain the shit out of my ankle. So I’m at my old high school’s prom with my ex-girlfriend, on crutches hobbling around, just the saddest, most pathetic sight.”
Marshall had a cuter anecdote from later on in college: “One time on a date in college, we hopped a fence at a mini-golf place and were just lying down on the course, looking up at the stars,” he said.
Mikey Day
Mikey Day has been in a relationship with his partner, Argentinian actress Paula Christensen, for over a decade. Their son, Abbott, was born in August 2012. Christensen celebrated SNL Season 51’s wrap day with her partner earlier this year, sharing a photo to mark the occasion on Instagram.
Jane Wickline
Jane Wickline has been dating Sio Hornbuckle since January 2024. They recently collaborated on Wickline’s stage project Dukes Forever, which Hornbuckle directed. The show ran at the SoHo Playhouse in New York City over the summer.
Jeremy Culhane
Jeremy Culhane is dating actress Christina Burdette. How long they’ve been together isn’t known, but she shared the first photo of the two of them together in 2022. In 2026, Culhane and Burdette costarred in horror rom-com Its Presence Between Us.
Ashley Padilla
Ashley Padilla hasn’t opened up about her relationship status since joining the SNL cast, and her Instagram posts are strictly work-related. So, she’s either single or keeping that part of her life private.
Grace Reiter
Newcomer Grace Reiter isn’t known to be dating anyone currently. However, the internet personality has gone viral for discussing her ideal partner before. “I think I wanna date someone just like ridiculously out of my league,” she said on The Downside Podcast in 2025. “I wanna be like a beacon of hope for young women.”
Andrew Dismukes
Andrew Dismukes wed fellow comedian Aly Dixon in June 2025 after dating for nine years. “She’s my best friend, the love of my life, the funniest person I know, and a next-level-hot-lady,” Dismukes wrote in a dating anniversary post in 2019. More recently, Dixon shared wedding photos on their anniversary earlier this year.
Saidah Belo-Osagie
Like her fellow Season 52 newcomer, Saidah Belo-Osagie hasn’t publicly spoken about her relationship status. She does joke about flirting and dating on her social media.
James Austin Johnson
James Austin Johnson married Rebekah Lain in 2018 after dating for five years. They welcomed a son, Homer, in 2022. Though his Instagram mostly consists of work-related posts now, the comedian has shared some photos of his wife. On their wedding anniversary in 2021, the comedian wrote that Lain “makes [his] life worth living.” He added, “I have no clue how I got out of bed at all before we got together, got it together and got married.”
Veronika Slowikowska
Veronika Slowikowska confirmed that she’s in a relationship in May 2026, though she didn’t identify her partner. “I’ve dated mostly comedians, and then now I’m dating — no one, but someone who’s not a comedian and it’s the healthiest relationship I’ve been in thus far and I think it’ll end there,” she told Cosmopolitan.
Tommy Brennan
Shortly after moving to New York to join the SNL Season 51 cast, Tommy Brennan began a new relationship, per The Bob and Tom Show. He referenced his girlfriend during several 2025 standup performances, sharing that she’s a fellow comic and they’d been friends for four years before they started dating. He also has joked about her being the breadwinner in their relationship.
Kam Patterson
Kam Patterson, who has been known to talk about dating during his standup routines, hasn’t revealed if he has a serious girlfriend. Earlier this year, he tried to shoot his shot with rapper Megan Thee Stallion during a podcast appearance, though he mentioned that he was seeing someone during another performance this summer.
