So many stars have been spotted at SNL50: The Anniversary Special â including several notable exes.
The special event marks the culmination of a three-day celebration honoring the legacy of the long-running sketch show. Countless celebrities were in attendance for the once-in-a-generation experience, several of which have more than a love of comedy in common.
Scarlett Johansson and husband Colin Jost were spotted on the red carpet before the show shortly after Johanssonâs ex-husband, Ryan Reynolds posed with his now-wife Blake Lively, per E! News.
Johansson, 40, and Reynolds, 48, were married from 2008 to 2011. In a November 2019 interview with Vanity Fair, the Black Widow actress opened up about her first marriage â without naming Reynolds, specifically â admitting that she perhaps romanticized marriage early on in her life.
âThe first time I got married I was 23 years old,â Johansson said in the interview. âI didnât really have an understanding of marriage. Maybe I kind of romanticized it, I think, in a way.
Johansson and Jost, 42, got married in October 2020 and welcomed a son, Cosmo, 3 in 2021. Reynolds and Lively, 37, married in 2012 and now share four children: James, 10, Inez, 8, Betty, 5 and Olin, 2.
Exes Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson were also spotted on the SNL50 red carpet. The pair â who first connected when Kardashian, 44, hosted SNL in October 2021, dated from November 2021 until August 2022.
Shortly after their breakup, a source told PEOPLE that the split was due to their busy schedules.
âThey both travel all the time and it was hard,â the inside source said.
Former SNL castmate Fred Armisen and ex-girlfriend, actress Natasha Lyonne were seen at the event â each with their current respective partners.
Armisen and Lyonne were first linked in 2014, and Lyonne confirmed their split in 2022 while speaking to The Hollywood Reporter.
Armisen, 58, opened up about the breakup while appearing on the Fail Better podcast in July.
âThat ended well and weâre still friends,â Armisen said. âIt made me feel like it was part of getting older that I could approach being in a relationship in a different way. I can look back at that relationship with a sort of peaceful happiness, and thatâs how it was.â
Armisen attended the anniversary event with his current wife, actress Riki Lindhome. The pair married in 2022.Â
Meanwhile, the 45-year-old Russian Dolls actress attended the anniversary event with her current partner, producer Bryn Mooser.
Chris Rock and Lake Bell, who were both in attendance as well, had previously fueled dating rumors in the summer of 2022. At the time, a source told PEOPLE the pair had been âgetting to know each other and seem to have fun.â However, according to Page Six, the comedian said in his 2023 Netflix special, Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, âIâm single. Iâve been single for a long time,â he said. âI was married for a long time. I was dating somebody for a while. Now Iâm single.â
