Selena Gomez made light of her complicated dating history while hosting “Saturday Night Live” over the weekend.
“One reason I’m really excited to host ‘SNL’ is because I’m single — and I’ve heard ‘SNL’ is a great place to find romance,” the actress, 29, joked during her opening monologue.
“Since I don’t really want to try the dating apps, I just want to put it in the universe that I’m manifesting love,” she added. “But at this point, I would take anyone.”
Gomez then brought up all of the successful romances that have come out of “SNL” as cases-in-point: Emma Stone and her “SNL” producer/writer husband Dave McCary, as well as Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson.The former Disney star also joked about Pete Davidson’s bromance with Machine Gun Kelly, who famously performed and fell off the stage in 2021.
However, audience members and viewers at home clearly understood the joke she was alluding to – about Davidson falling in love with Kim Kardashian after the reality star’s own hosting debut in October 2021.
When Kardashian, 41, hosted the NBC show last fall, she appeared in a skit with Davidson, 28, in which they played Jasmine and Aladdin.
The pair kissed in the sketch, which marked their first-ever smooch. The rest, as they say, is history.
As for Gomez, she famously dated Justin Bieber on and off throughout most of the 2010s, with their initial four-year relationship — her longest to date — ending in 2014.
Their final breakup came in March 2018, mere months before Bieber, 28, proposed to now-wife Haley Baldwin in the Bahamas.
The “Only Murders in the Building” star has since been romantically linked to stars like Zedd, Niall Horan and Nick Jonas, among others.
Most recently, fans speculated in fall 2021 that Gomez and actor Chris Evans could be dating after picking up on various clues via social media. However, the rumored relationship was never confirmed by either party.
