Update (1/7/26): After surprising the internet with a supposed video of his upcoming nuptials… Marcello Hernández has finally revealed what his video on January 5th was all about. And like many guessed, it was about his upcoming Netflix special American Boy.
On January 7th he posted a new video of him standing next to an altar wiping a tear away as Etta James “At Last” plays in the background. When the camera pulls back it shows a poster of his special gliding down a church aisle towards him. He then annonces that the special is available on Netflix before panning over to the pews where his mother and a friend look emotional.
But at least now we know how people would react if Hernández were to actually get married: with joy.
Ahead of his upcoming debut Netflix American Boy special, Marcello Hernández just might’ve revealed something personal about his love life.
Though it’s not confirmed yet, the comedian posted a black-and-white video of him getting ready for what appears to be his wedding day alongside his mother and close friends earlier today (January 5th).
Clips show him smiling and celebrating what could be his big day, sound tracked by Willie Hutch’s “I Choose You.” However, it’s worth mentioning that this could also be part promo for his highly-anticipated Netflix debut.
Furthermore, his partner and him are private about their relationship.
His girlfriend (or perhaps now wife) Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral posted an Instagram carousel from October, with a photo of wedding dress shopping. Though she’s not wearing it, it could be a clue to her saying “yes to the dress.”
While this could be another clue to the Hernández wedding, fans are questioning under his post if it’s a glimpse into his personal life or of his upcoming big day with Netflix.
Hernández’s American Boy–his first stand-up special–will be available for streaming on Wednesday (January 7). “MY FIRST NETFLIX SPECIAL. I started comedy at 18 in Cleveland, Ohio at dive bars, small clubs, and poetry slam rooms. 10 years later, stand up has given me everything. If you’ve ever been to a show, put me on a show, given me advice, or supported me in any way, THANK YOU. AMERICAN BOY JAN 7TH ON @netflix 🇺🇸👦🏻,” he wrote on Instagram at the time.
The stand-up special comes after becoming one of Saturday Night Live’s favorites, representing Latines on a national scale.
