Saturday Night Live can count Emma Stone and Dave McCary as yet another couple who found love on the set of the sketch comedy show.

Much like Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson or Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian, the pair first met while filming an SNL episode when Stone returned to host in December 2016. The Cruella actress starred in a sketch that McCary wrote, and the two reportedly hit it off from there.

The notoriously private couple managed to keep a lot of the details of their early relationship off the radar, though a source confirmed to PEOPLE in October 2017 that Stone and McCary were officially an item. They made their award show debut at the 2019 SAG Awards, and later tied the knot in September 2020. In March 2021, PEOPLE confirmed that the pair had welcomed their first child, a baby girl.
