Celebrities Who Dated Saturday Night Live Stars and Staffers

Emma Stone and Dave McCary

Back in October 2017, fans learned that the Oscar-winning actress had been seeing Saturday Night Live writer and segment director Dave McCary for at least three months, a source told PEOPLE.

Stone and McCary first met at the end of 2016 when she was hosting SNL and starred in the December sketch "Wells for Boys," which he directed. According to the source at the time, the pair was trying to keep their relationship quiet, though she did bring him as her date to the 2019 SAG Awards.

The pair announced their engagement on Dec. 4, 2019 and, after they were spotted wearing matching rings in September 2020, sources confirmed to PEOPLE that the pair had wed earlier that year. In 2021, they welcomed their first child together, a daughter.

"[SNL] has always been my favorite show and since I started hosting it's also become just a huge part of my life," Stone said when hosting for the fifth time in December 2023. "I've made so many memories here, and so many friends, and I even met my husband at SNL."

Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader

In January 2021, PEOPLE exclusively announced Bill Hader and Anna Kendrick's relationship.

"Anna has been dating Bill quietly for over a year," a source told PEOPLE. "They met years ago. She's hosted Saturday Night Live and they've done a movie together, but they got together well after the movie."

"They are both very private people, and with the pandemic it was easy to keep it quiet," the source added. "They're both hysterical so they must keep each other laughing all of the time. She's really, really happy."

In addition to Kendrick hosting SNL, the two previously shared the screen together in Disney+'s 2019 holiday film Noelle, where they played siblings.

In June 2022, the two went their separate ways.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson

Kim Kardashian started spending time with Pete Davidson following her hosting gig in October 2021.

After throwing a birthday party for Davidson in Palm Springs in November 2021, the couple enjoyed a post-New Year's vacation together in the Bahamas.

A source told PEOPLE at the time that Kim "thinks Pete has many great qualities," adding, "He makes her laugh. He treats her really well. He is very understanding that Kim's first priority is her kids."

In August 2022, the two called it quits; Kardashian hasn't dated someone publicly since, while Davidson has been spotted with Emily Ratajkowski, Chase Sui Wonders and most recently, Madelyn Cline.

Rachel Bilson and Bill Hader

Barry star Bill Hader and the former O.C. actress made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 2020 Golden Globes.

After fueling romance rumors in early December 2019 thanks to a coffee date in the former SNL comedian's hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, the couple made it official at the annual award show.

The pair previously starred together in the 2013 romantic comedy The To-Do List. Hader was married to the film's director, Maggie Carey, from 2006-2018. He and Carey share three daughters: Hayley Clementine, Harper and Hannah Kathryn.

Bilson split from actor Hayden Christensen in 2017 after nearly a decade together, and the exes share daughter Briar Rose.

A source told PEOPLE in July 2020 that the pair had split.

Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson

Kate Beckinsale and Pete Davidson hit it off at a Golden Globes afterparty in January 2019, and though they at first denied romance rumors, continued stepping out publicly in the months that followed (indulging in some PDA, too).

On a March episode of SNL, Davidson addressed their romance, saying the pair's 20-year age gap "doesn't really bother us," listing off dozens of celebrity men who are dating women much younger than them.

By April of that year, however, the two had split.

Davidson moved on briefly with Margaret Qualley, and later Kaia Gerber and Phoebe Dynevor, before a high-profile romance with Kim Kardashian.

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson

Talk about a whirlwind romance! Following her split from rapper Mac Miller, Ariana Grande began dating Pete Davidson; the two made their relationship Instagram official when she posted a photo of the pair wearing Harry Potter wizard robes in late May 2018.

Aside from showering each other with love on social media, Davidson and Grande got matching tattoos, and the comedian even showed off his new neck ink that seemingly referenced the "No Tears Left to Cry" singer.

In June 2018, Grande confirmed news of the couple's engagement, though by October of that year they'd gone their separate ways.

Cazzie David and Pete Davidson

Before Ariana and Kate, Saturday Night Live player Pete Davidson dated Larry David's daughter, Cazzie David — and no, before you ask, he was not intimidated by the Eighty-Sixed creator's famous father. "Well, I'm not dating him," Davidson told PEOPLE in 2016. "I just love her very, very much."

As for how he feels about Larry David? "He's the sweetest man in the world, he's the coolest," Davidson revealed.

Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus

After dating more than a year, Ben Affleck and SNL producer Lindsay Shookus split in August 2018, but "picked back up where they left off" in February 2019, a source told PEOPLE. "They have a wonderful, caring relationship and a healthy lifestyle together."

The two first went public with their relationship in late 2017, but hit a point where she could no longer handle his struggles with addiction. "She was trying to stay as close to him as possible so that he would stay on the right path, but ultimately it just wasn't possible," a source said. "She knew she had to let him hit bottom."

After he stepped out with Playboy model Shauna Sexton and returned to rehab, he and Shookus reunited. "He loves to be with her," another source told PEOPLE. The two went their separate ways, again, in April of 2019.

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis

Wilde and Sudeikis' romance all started when he was working at Saturday Night Live. "I met her at a finale party for SNL," Sudeikis told The Late Show host Stephen Colbert. "We hit it off that night." But it took a few months before the now-engaged couple reconnected and began dating in November 2011. "We sort of reintroduced ourselves," he added. "The universe had more in store for us in the fall."

Though the two split in 2020, they remain committed coparents to their young children, Otis and Daisy.

Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost

Scarlett Johansson and Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost were first romantically linked in May 2017 when they were spotted kissing at SNL's season finale afterparty. Since then, the two have been seen enjoying numerous nights out together. Jost also opened up about his relationship with the actress, saying he feels "very lucky."

In May 2019, the actress' publicist confirmed the two were engaged; they wed quietly in October 2020 and in 2021, welcomed son Cosmo.

Amy Ryan and Eric Slovin

One person who probably wasn't surprised to find that the Oscar-nominated actress had a funny side that she revealed on The Office? Her former Saturday Night Live writer husband, whom she wed in 2011 and with whom she has one child.

Cobie Smulders and Taran Killam

Smulders and Killam began dating around the time of her 2005 breakout role in How I Met Your Mother, and the two welcomed their first child together the year before Killam was cast on Saturday Night Live in 2010 — and their shared comedic chops likely have contributed to their ongoing happy relationship.

"I'm a very lucky woman," Smulders said in 2019 of being married to Killam. "This magic happened 14 years ago. We've been together since we were 22 years young. We were babies and we survived our 20s together — I don't know how that's possible, but we did. It's crazy."

Elisabeth Moss and Fred Armisen

The couple's whirlwind romance ended in drama; eight months after tying the knot, Elisabeth Moss filed for divorce from Saturday Night Live cast member Fred Armisen in 2010, and Moss later called the experience "extremely traumatic and awful and horrible."

"I think I was a terrible husband," Armisen admitted to Howard Stern several years after their divorce. "I want it all ... fast," he admitted. "I want to be married, I want to live together ... and then somewhere around a year or two years, I get freaked out. I freak out emotionally and then I actually feel like 'Oh my God, who's this stranger in my house?' "

Carrie Fisher and Dan Aykroyd

At the height of her career, Carrie Fisher dated SNL star Dan Aykroyd after the pair met on the set of The Blues Brothers. Their relationship ended, however, when the Stars Wars star returned to her on-again, off-again love, Paul Simon. Following the news of Fisher's 2016 death, Aykroyd tweeted a sweet message as an ode to his former girlfriend: "Our beautiful brilliant funny wise kind and generous Blues Sister - so ironic - Xmas was Carrie's favorite thing next to babies."
