Marcello Hernández has built a reputation on sharp observational comedy, the kind that sounds loose but lands with intent. In his 2025 Netflix special American Boy, he offered a blunt take on modern dating, joking that women arrive to dates financially and emotionally depleted after the ritual violence of getting ready. It was a bit, of course—but like most good stand-up, it carried a sliver of truth.
Offstage, Hernández appears to be practicing what he preaches.
The Saturday Night Live cast member went public in 2025 with architect Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral, quietly stepping into the role of boyfriend rather than comedian-in-perpetual-motion. The relationship surfaced without spectacle, the way most real ones do, before solidifying under brighter lights.
Cabral joined Hernández on the red carpet twice in 2025, first at the July premiere of Happy Gilmore 2, then later at Heidi Klum’s annual Halloween party in October. For the latter, the couple leaned into classic gothic romance, dressing as Morticia and Gomez Addams—a pairing that felt intentional, not ironic.
Online, the two have become fixtures on each other’s Instagram feeds. Their posts aren’t performative, just familiar. In October 2025, Cabral commented on one of Hernández’s photo dumps with a simple Spanish declaration: “Te amoo mi amorrr,” punctuated with hearts and kisses. No branding, no rollout. Just affection.
That restraint only fueled speculation in January 2026, when Hernández posted a video of himself suiting up in a tuxedo to Willie Hutch’s “I Choose You.” The internet did what it always does—jumped ahead of the facts. Was it Critics Choice Awards prep? Or something more permanent?
“I’m so confused sir, is this for critics choice or marriage?” one commenter asked. Another put it more plainly: “Did my Internet husband go and marry someone else?”
Hernández hasn’t clarified. And that may be the point. In an industry addicted to disclosure, he’s letting the noise run while keeping the substance offstage. For a comedian who understands timing better than most, that feels deliberate—and smart.
