The Truth About Leslie Jones And Kyle Mooney's Relationship

According to Distractify, fans were convinced "Saturday Night Live" co-stars Leslie Jones and Kyle Mooney were a couple behind the scenes thanks in large part to their lovable sketches on the long-running comedy show. In particular, tongue in cheek sketch "Kyle & Leslie," released in 2017, poked fun at the furor surrounding their supposed romantic relationship. The two comedic actors are seen getting married, having kids, and trying to figure out how to work and live together, making fans' hearts burst. However, they're not really together IRL, sadly. In 2019, the Washington Post confirmed "Coming 2 America" star Jones would not be returning for another series of "SNL," hilariously headlining it, "Sorry, Kyle Mooney." 

The two enjoyed a recurring bit about their so-called relationship, which was juxtaposed with Jones's unbridled lust for "Weekend Update" co-host and husband of Scarlett Johansson, Colin Jost. Their lucrative dynamic was first established in 2016, when they admitted to being a couple in reality TV-style confessional interviews while, in the Season 44 finale, the lovable duo reflected on all the fun sketches they'd partaken in during their run on the hit show, thereby finally acknowledging their romantic feelings for each other. Unfortunately, it seems it was all for the show and offscreen Jones continues to look for the right man. Mooney, meanwhile, keeps his personal life equally private — maybe there's still hope for these two?
