Pedro Pascal has done it again. The Last of Us star is no stranger to stealing the show, and his latest SNL50 appearance is proof that his charm is unstoppable—even when it comes to unexpected on-screen romances.
This past weekend, Pascal joined forces with Marcello Hernandez, Sabrina Carpenter, and Bad Bunny for the now-iconic Domingo remix skit, which has been making waves online. And while fans were already obsessed with the absurdity of the original Domingo sketch, Pascal’s surprise inclusion took things to another level—especially when it came to his chemistry with one cast member in particular.
The Skit That Started It All
For those who missed it, Pascal’s role in SNL50 introduced him as Domingo’s older brother, Ronaldo—a scandalous character who apparently had a secret affair with the groom (played by Andrew Dismukes). As if that wasn’t enough drama, Bad Bunny also joined the party, self-proclaiming himself the “hot brother” in the most ridiculous way possible.
But amid the chaos, there was one moment that fans could not stop talking about: Sabrina Carpenter’s interactions with Pascal. The two shared an electrifying exchange, complete with flirty glances, playful banter, and a line that sent the internet into a frenzy.
“You’re Single, I’m Single…” — Did Sabrina Just Confess?
The moment that made headlines came when Carpenter, completely in character, turned to Pascal and said, “You’re single, I’m single, we’ve got nothing to lose…” before trailing off in suspense. The delivery was too convincing.
Social media exploded. Fans began speculating—was this just part of the skit, or was something real happening between Carpenter and Pascal behind the scenes?
Adding fuel to the fire, Pascal later shared a behind-the-scenes photo on Instagram, featuring himself, Carpenter, and Hernandez in full character. His caption? “Bingo, Domingo!”—a cheeky nod to the now-viral sketch. But what really set off the speculation was the image itself: Pascal sticking his tongue out while clutching Carpenter and Hernandez like a trio of mischief-makers.
Then came Marcello Hernandez’s comments on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He revealed that Carpenter had previously brought the Domingo skit to life during her concert, even spotlighting him in full Domingo costume in front of a stunned crowd. But what caught everyone’s attention was what he said about their off-screen dynamic: “I put that picture up with Sabrina, and one of my aunts was like, ‘And why have we not met her?’”
Fans Are Losing It
By now, the internet was fully convinced. Pascal and Carpenter had undeniable chemistry, both on and off screen. Their playful exchanges, the flirty SNL moment, the Instagram post—it all pointed to one thing: something was going on.
Tweets poured in:
“Sabrina Carpenter and Pedro Pascal? I did not have that on my 2025 bingo card, but I’m invested.”
“The way Sabrina said that line… girl, you meant that.”
“If Pedro Pascal and Sabrina Carpenter are dating, just know I will never recover.”
It didn’t help that Pascal, 49, and Carpenter, 24, have both been notably private about their love lives. Fans quickly pointed out that their age gap, a 25-year difference, made this possible romance even more intriguing.
And Now… The Truth
After days of speculation, it’s time to set the record straight. Was Sabrina Carpenter actually confessing her feelings for Pedro Pascal?
No.
It was all just part of the skit. A perfectly delivered line, a masterful performance, and a little too much chemistry made it seem real—but in the end, it was just another SNL moment gone viral.
That being said… the internet is still watching. Because when it comes to Pedro Pascal and his magnetic charm, you never really know what could happen next.
