Marcello Hernandez probably saw this question coming a mile away.
After all, the Saturday Night Live star has worked with superstar Sabrina Carpenter on the legendary sketch show on several occasions. What’s more, Hernandez and Carpenter have been seen hanging out outside of 30 Rock in New York City.
A Very Direct Question
During a recent appearance on the Armchair Expert podcast, host Dax Shepard wondered in amazement how Hernandez, 28, hasn’t tried his damndest to date the 26-year-old “Espresso” singer.
“If I’m you, and I’m 28, I’m going to try to date her with all my might,” Shepard told Hernandez. “Are you not trying your hardest to marry her?!”
Hernandez didn’t skip a beat.
“I’m in a relationship with a Dominican girl. She’s an architect. She’s unreal,” Hernandez responded. “She went to Yale.”
The dating rumors started not long after Hernandez and Carpenter showed they clearly had chemistry during one of his “Domingo” appearances at her concert, where she arrests him as part of her “Juno arrests.”
“The Domingo thing was big, and she was all about it, and it was so cool,” he went on to explain.
Marcello’s Girlfriend Is a Gem
Hernandez and his girlfriend, Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral, were spotted last year in May at a Phoenician Scheme premiere afterparty. They sparked dating rumors at that point.
It wasn’t long after they stepped out together for their red carpet debut at the Happy Gilmore 2 premiere in July.
More recently, she celebrated Hernandez’s Netflix standup special, American Boy.
According to her bio, Cabral graduated with a master’s degree from Yale University’s School of Architecture. She also co-founded the design firm BATLLE+Sig+, for which she partnered up with Signe Ferguson, whom she met in grad school at Yale.
In that interview, Cabral’s business partner offered insight into their passion for travel experiences.
“We water-colored on the sidewalks of Rome together, explored domesticity in Mexico with Tatiana Bilbao, and went to Greenland with Billy Flemming to study mining and mineral extraction,” Ferguson shared.
Cabral, whose mindset is saying “Si a todo (yes to everything),” added, “I think that was a moment in time that really brought us together. We were in the middle of a sublime landscape, trying to understand what we were looking at and how to process it. It felt very Gabriel Garcia Marquez. We followed a dog and ate Narwal with a local on our last day. It was surreal.”
