Jacob Elordi reacted to Renee Rapp calling him ‘so babygirl’ in a new Saturday Night Live teaser that dropped on Thursday.
The Euphoria star, 26 – who is still dating Olivia Jade Giannulli despite speculation the pair had split – will take on hosting duties for the sketch comedy’s first episode of 2024, with the Mean Girls star appearing as the musical guest.
In the short clip, which was uploaded to the show’s main Instagram page, the n actor could be seen standing between the actress as well as comedian, Bowen Yang.
‘Hi, I’m Jacob Elordi, and I’m hosting SNL this week Renee Rapp,’ he addressed the camera while sporting a pair of denim jeans as well as a white shirt and warm, red cardigan.
Yang quickly chimed in to say, ‘Renee, you are so right. He is so babygirl,’ and she laughingly replied with, ‘I know, that’s what I said, he is so babygirl.’

Jacob clasped his hands behind his back and sent looks at both Renee and Bowen and then questioned, ‘Me? I’m a baby girl?’
He then turned to look over at the singer and asked, ‘So, what’s Renee?’ prompting her to simply respond with, ‘Oh, I’m mother.’
The camera then cut to the SNL star who jokingly placed his hands on his hips and announced, ‘And I’m big wrinkly son!’
The caption of the teaser video that was shared to the show’s fans and followers read: ‘bbg, mother, and big wrinkly son.’
Babygirl is a fandom term used towards a male fictional character or a celebrity who seems to have a bad boy persona, but fans reinterpret it as adorable, cute or even kindhearted.
And mother is a slang term that is used towards women who are iconic or a prominent figure – such as actresses or celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Earlier this week, the Saltburn star appeared in a previous teaser as he prepares to host SNL for the first time.
In the humorous video, Elordi could be seen rehearsing on the stage, but his nervousness was making it impossible for him to walk down a couple steps like all the hosts have done in the past.

As he mentally prepared to attempt to make his way down the steps, SNL comedians Punkie Johnson and Marcello Hernandez walked by.
Johnson then called out to Jacob to ask, ‘Hey man, you good?’ He didn’t respond and instead talked to himself by stating, ‘They all make it look so easy.’
Flashbacks of other past hosts easily strutting down the steps ahead of their opening monologues played in the clip.
Back to present day, Marcello asked, ‘Is he looking at the stairs?’ The teaser then turned into a montage of Punkie and Hernandez encouraging and helping The Kissing Booth star down the steps.
Finally after gaining the confidence to walk down the steps, the actor walked through the stage doors – only to trip on a mat and plummet down the stairs, falling flat on his face.
Both the SNL stars quickly ran away, leaving Elordi to say, ‘I’m good,’ as he tried to pry himself off the floor.
The most recent teaser comes after it was reported that the Euphoria actor is still dating Lori Loughlin’s daughter, Olivia, despite speculation that the pair had split.
Sources informed TMZ on Thursday that the couple – who were first linked back in 2021 – were still together, adding that they are both currently in NYC ahead of his SNL hosting gig.
