Is Anna Kendrick Dating Emmy Winner Alex Edelman? Here's What We Know
Celebrities are people too — people who date other people. Some splash every new romance across Instagram. Others prefer a soft-launch so subtle you almost miss it. Anna Kendrick appears to fall in the latter camp, but even her stealth skills couldn't keep the rumor mill quiet for long.
On Monday, July 7, an insider told People that the 39-year-old Pitch Perfect icon and Alex Edelman 'have been dating for several months,' adding that the relationship 'doesn't seem casual.' The source even revealed that Kendrick 'celebrated his birthday together in March' and has 'met his mom.'
Reps for Kendrick and Edelman did not immediately respond to Parade's request for comment.

The pair still hasn't said a word publicly, yet the cameras are doing plenty of talking. Paparazzi snapped the two cruising around Los Angeles in Edelman's blue Tesla earlier this week. Kendrick rode shotgun in sunglasses and a ponytail while the 36-year-old Emmy-winning comedian, wearing denim, was behind the wheel.
If their timeline feels lightning-fast, gossip sleuths were actually on the trail months ago. DeuxMoi first dropped a tip in March, and by late May, fans clocked Kendrick at one of Edelman's shows. The online gossip column shared the sighting a couple weeks later, just in time for those cozy car pics to add even more fuel to the fire.
Fans wasted no time weighing in.
"This is a great match!! They are couple worthy!" one person cheered on Instagram.
"Good for you girl! Healthy, healed and ready for something amazing" another gushed.
"He better treat her right. I hope she gets treated like an absolute queen," chimed in a third.
"My new nemesis!! She's my girl.. At least in my dreams," someone else quipped on X (formerly Twitter).
The Twilight actress previously dated director Edgar Wright from 2009 to 2013, followed by cinematographer Ben Richardson from 2014 to 2020. She was last linked to Bill Hader before the pair split in 2022.

Later that year, Kendrick opened up about surviving emotional and psychological abuse in a past long-term relationship. Speaking to People, she said, 'I was in a situation where I loved and trusted this person more than I trusted myself… Your life gets really confusing really quickly.'
She didn't name the partner but told Call Her Daddy in 2024 that the relationship didn't 'follow the traditional pattern' of abuse, which made it harder to recognize.
'I was reading all the articles and going like, 'This doesn't look like — some of it looks like how they're describing it, but not completely,'' she recalled at the time. 'The relationship was seven years, but it was like an overnight switch, and that went on for about a year.'
As for Edelman, he's known for his award-winning stand-up career. His Broadway show Just For Us earned him an Emmy, a Tony Award, and a spot on the 2024 TIME100 list. He's now writing and starring in The Paper, an Office spinoff coming to Peacock.

John Oliver's Moon Mammoth rebrand of Erie's minor league baseball team draws record-sized crowd
A minor league baseball team in Western Pennsylvania drew big crowds and lots of attention on Saturday night. The Erie SeaWolves, a Double-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers, became the Erie Moon Mammoths for one day only. This quirky rebrand comes after the team was selected by comedian John Oliver and his team at HBO's Last Week Tonight for the surprise transformation. Mayor Joe Schember even issued a proclamation, declaring July 19, 2025, Moon Mammoth Day, to celebrate the occasion, NBC News affiliate WICU reports. "The inherent eccentricity of minor league baseball is something that we felt a real affinity with," Oliver said. "The more we looked into it the more we thought there might be fun to have. And, once we put out the request for 'who would be down for rebranding,' it was not surprising but edifying to see just how many teams went 'yeah we'd be down for that.'" The SeaWolves had no say on their rebrand name or logo. The Last Week Tonight team dug into Erie's history to pick Moon Mammoths, a name inspired by the 1991 discovery of woolly mammoth remains in a local lake. Oliver threw out the first pitch at the game, which drew a record-setting crowd of more than 7,000 fans. The SeaWolves will don the Mammoths' branding three more times throughout the summer.

Why the Silver Surfer is the superhero for our cosmically fraught times
In a world plagued by too many problems, how to explain the problem of too many superheroes? It's no cosmic riddle: Low-imagination Hollywood power people keep wasting money and mindshare overpopulating every last screen with comic book mesomorphs whose collective strategy for saving this world predominantly involves returning us to the familiarity of childhood. Biff, bang, pow! Sometimes it's fun. The rest of the time, it's annoying — in part because there's only ever been one comic book superhero truly capable of rescuing us from the loneliness of the information age.
