Kendrick connected with comedian Hader long before the two started dating in 2021, but news of their relationship didn't reach the press until a year later in January 2022. Regarding their history, a source close to the "Trolls" actor told People, "They met years ago. She's hosted 'Saturday Night Live' and they've done a movie together, but they got together well after the movie."
Per the source, the two got together at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, which made it easy to keep the relationship private. "They are both very private people, and with the pandemic it was easy to keep it quiet," the insider revealed. Despite the relationship appearing on good terms in the public eye, Kendrick and Hader called it quits in June 2022, according to Entertainment Tonight.
