Who is Leslie Jones’ partner? Who is she in a Relationship with?
It also appears that she’s not currently dating anyone. However, she did raise some suspicions during a 2017 appearance on Conan. After the talk show host teased Jones about a Tweet she posted while she was drunk (it read, “I’m drunk and I want to have sex right now!! Dammit !!”), Jones revealed that she was “kind of” seeing someone.
But just a month later, the Supermarket Sweep host revealed that she was just joking around. “Just so everyone knows. There was never a secret boyfriend,” she Tweeted. “I have terrible luck with men. Real talk. They do not like me lol!!”
That same year, Saturday Night Live fans were positive Jones had a thing going on with Kyle Mooney. That idea came about as a result of a filmed sketch for the show, which featured the cast mates getting involved in a relationship.
Jones once admitted on Conan that she thought she’d have better luck dating if she were gay. “If I were gay I’d be crushin’ bro,” she joked. However, Jones is straight. But that hasn’t stopped rumours from popping up about her sexuality—including speculation that she and her former Saturday Night Live co-star Kate McKinnon were married!
