Marcello Hernández Netflix Special Wedding: The Truth Behind the Viral PR Stunt
Is Marcello Hernández married? The SNL star reveals the truth behind his viral wedding video and the launch of his Netflix special 'American Boy'.
A groom prepping for his big day, a mother dabbing away tears, and a black-and-white aesthetic that screamed 'just married.' But as it turns out, SNL star Marcello Hernández wasn't heading to the altar—he was heading to the Netflix trending list.
Inside the Marcello Hernández Netflix Special Wedding Tease
According to Entertainment Weekly, the comedian sparked massive speculation on January 6, 2026, when he posted a video showing him suiting up in a tuxedo and popping champagne. Fans immediately linked the footage to his long-term girlfriend, Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral, whom he has been dating since 2025. The couple's high-profile appearances at the Met Gala afterparty and the premiere of Happy Gilmore 2 made the marriage rumors feel like a logical next step.
However, a follow-up video released on Wednesday clarified the situation. While Hernández appeared to be standing opposite a bride in a church, the camera panned to reveal that the 'bride' was actually a promotional poster for his new comedy special, Marcello Hernández: American Boy. The special officially premiered on Netflix on January 7, 2026.
What is Next for the SNL Breakout Star?
Hernández first joined SNL in 2022 and was promoted to a repertory player in 2024 at the start of Season 50. Beyond the sketch comedy stage, he's expanding his cinematic footprint with voice roles in The Angry Birds Movie 3 and Shrek 5. Fans can also catch him in the upcoming Kevin Hart comedy 72 Hours.
