Who Is Marcello Hernández’s Girlfriend? All About Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral

Saturday Night Live cast member Marcello Hernández has a lot to celebrate.

Not only is his first Netflix comedy special, Marcello Hernández: American Boy, now streaming, but he also has someone to share the accomplishment with. The comedian debuted his relationship with architect Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral on July 21 at the New York City premiere of Happy Gilmore 2, in which he played the role of Esteban.

Hernández hasn’t revealed when, exactly, he started dating Cabral or how they first met. However, according to celebrity gossip site DeuxMoi, they’ve been spending time together since at least January 2025, when they were spotted having dinner at N.Y.C.’s Marea.

Cabral is a Yale graduate and co-founder of the design company BATLLE + sig.

So, who is Marcello Hernández’s girlfriend? Here’s everything to know about Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral and her relationship with the SNL star.

She’s based in New York City with ties to the Dominican Republic

Cabral is currently based in N.Y.C., but she attended high school in the Dominican Republic, per her LinkedIn.

Hernández also has ties to the Dominican Republic, as his dad was born and raised there.

She graduated from Yale

After high school, Cabral moved to the U.S. and earned a bachelor’s degree in architecture with minors in business, architectural history and electronic design in 2018 from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), per her LinkedIn.

In 2023, she earned a master’s degree in architecture from Yale University.

She’s an architect

Cabral currently works as an architect for Taller Frida Escobedo, an architecture and planning studio with locations in Mexico City and N.Y.C. She is also the co-founder of BATLLE + sig, a design company she runs alongside her Yale classmate Signe Ferguson.

“It was 2020, in the midst of the COVID pandemic,” Cabral told Speciwomen in January 2025. “Signe invited me over for dinner. I started cooking and reading books with her, and we became close friends. Because the school was closed down, we made our studios within our homes.”

She went on to share that “almost every project of ours explores irony in some way — using an everyday material that isn’t normally appreciated, questioning sacred ritual versus corporate capital.”

She loves to travel

The N.Y.C.-based architect has traveled all over the world. She studied abroad in France for a semester during her time at SCAD, per her Instagram. She has since explored Austria, the Czech Republic, Mexico, Italy, Greenland and, most recently, Tanzania.

“We have this saying at [BATLLE + sig], ‘si a todo’– ‘yes to everything,’ ” Cabral told Speciwomen in January 2025. “Let’s bring it in, let’s explore, let’s research.”

“I think that that’s what makes us get closer every time, the curiosity and excitement about the unknown. I think our goal is a bridge between the DR, New York and the rest of the world,” she added.

She and Marcello Hernández made their red carpet debut in July 2025

Cabral was Hernández’s plus-one to the N.Y.C. premiere of Happy Gilmore 2 in July 2025.

The comedian walked the red carpet in a short-sleeved sweater and plaid pants, while Cabral opted for a black top and a mid-length floral skirt.

Since then, she’s also walked the carpet during Heidi Klum‘s Heidiween party in October 2025, with Hernández and Cabral dressing as Gomez and Morticia Addams, respectively.

Prior to making their relationship red-carpet official, Hernández and the architect made two public appearances in May 2025 — one at a Met Gala afterparty and another at the N.Y.C. premiere of The Phoenician Scheme.
