Marcello Hernandez and Tate McRae, who captivated audiences with their dance duo performance on ‘Saturday Night Live’ earlier this year, reunited at the show’s afterparty this past Saturday, rekindling fan excitement over their dynamic partnership. The encounter took place at the trendy Noho hotspot Jeans, where the two were seen engaging in conversation, reminiscent of their viral Bad Bunny routine.
The pair first shared the screen in February during an SNL skit where they danced to Bad Bunny’s hit song ‘Voy A LLevarte PA PR,’ a moment that quickly gained traction online and was hailed as iconic by viewers. Their chemistry on stage left a lasting impression, making this weekend’s reunion a notable event for followers of the show and the artists involved.
At the afterparty, McRae arrived accompanied by influencer Jake Shane, and sources indicate that Hernandez made a beeline for their booth upon his arrival. He reportedly spent much of the evening in their company, with eyewitnesses noting that he did not leave the area until McRae and Shane departed. This focused interaction suggests a warm reconnection between the two performers.
Despite the friendly atmosphere, insiders described Hernandez as flirting with McRae during their time together. However, this comes with context, as Hernandez is believed to be in a relationship with Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral, whom he has been dating since January and brought as his date to a premiere earlier this year. This adds a layer of complexity to the interactions observed.
Hernandez’s personal life has been in the spotlight recently due to his involvement in rumors surrounding the ‘Summer House’ reality TV scandal, where Paige DeSorbo apologized to him for spreading false cheating allegations. DeSorbo recounted on her podcast that Hernandez handled the situation with humor, responding positively to the attention, though he received some negative messages as a result.
The SNL afterparty also featured other high-profile attendees, including the night’s host, Glen Powell, who was seen mingling with show producers and contributing to the festivities with his Smash Kitchen condiment line, which was served on burgers and fries. Additionally, actress Nina Dobrev, a guest of Powell’s for the evening, was spotted at the venue, adding to the star-studded nature of the event.
As the night wound down, the club cleared out civilian partygoers around 3 a.m. to accommodate the SNL crew’s private celebration. This gathering not only provided a casual setting for cast and guests to unwind but also reinforced the tight-knit community within the entertainment industry, where off-screen relationships often blur with on-screen narratives.
Looking ahead, this reunion may fuel further speculation about potential collaborations or personal developments between Hernandez and McRae, keeping fans eager for more insights into their lives. Whether it leads to new projects or remains a memorable night out, it underscores the enduring appeal of SNL’s cultural moments and the celebrities who bring them to life.
