The pair who met on the set of Saturday Night Live have been able to keep their romance under wraps. Although fans know of their relationship, details on their affair have skipped media attention for years.

The couple first went public with their relationship in 2017 after years of collaborating on the set of SNL. A few years later, they were engaged and later revealed their love story’s happy ending through charity.

Meeting On The Set Of Saturday Night Live

Colin joined the Saturday Night Live crew in 2005 as a writer and first worked with Scarlett in 2006. Although the pair already knew each other from that instance, they only worked closely in 2010.
