SNL 50 is reuniting more than just cast members.
As 50 years of cast members and hosts arrived at the Saturday Night Live anniversary special at 30 Rockefeller Plaza Feb. 16, some stars were in the presence of their ex-partners.
For instance, Pete Davidson arrived shortly after ex-girlfriend Kim Kardashian, whom he dated from November 2021 until August 2022, made her way down the red carpet. Meanwhile, SNL alum Fred Armisen was in the presence of his ex-girlfriend Natasha Lyonne. (See all the celebs on the red carpet here.)
Despite breaking up in 2022 after seven years of dating, Fred—who tied the knot with Riki Lindhome in 2022—has a special place in his heart for his romance with the Orange is the New Black alum.
“That ended well and we’re still friends. It made me feel like it was part of getting older that I could approach being in a relationship in a different way,” he said on the Fail Better podcast last July. “I can look back at that relationship with a sort of peaceful happiness, and that’s how it was.”
Meanwhile, Scarlett Johansson and her husband Colin Jost posed not long after her ex-husband Ryan Reynolds—whom she was married to from 2008 to 2011—and his wife Blake Lively made their way down the carpet at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
However, the Black Widow star was more focused on celebrating the milestone with the SNL star, who joined the cast in 2005 and has since become a head writer and the Weekend Update anchor.
Although Scarlett—who is mom to her and Colin’s 3-year-old son Cosmo, as well as her and ex-husband Romain Dauriac’s 10-year-old daughter Rose—has earned her own gig co-hosting Today’s Fourth Hour with Jenna Bush Hager, she’s left the comedy writing to her husband of four years.
“I’ll often be like, ‘Well, that’s too much,’ and that’s the one that gets the biggest laugh,” she told E! News in June 2023, emphasizing that she “couldn’t” imagine being able to one-up Colin’s jokes. “His brain is so primed for that.”
