She's looking for love in all the right places, and Selena Gomez admitted her first "Saturday Night Live" hosting gig was a "big moment" in more ways than one as she took to the stage at 30 Rockefeller Plaza's Studio 8H in New York.

The 29-year-old actress revealed she was ecstatic to be on the show, not only to talk about her work on the popular Hulu program "Only Murders in the Building," but also to possibly find her next romantic relationship as she was "manifesting love." Gomez admitted she heard SNL is "a great place" to find love, and went on to mention a few of her favorite couples who found each other while working on the weekly sketch show, which featured Post Malone as the musical act.

After explaining that she's single — she was in an on-and-off relationship with Justin Bieber for years before finally ending things in 2018 and previously dated The Weeknd in 2017 — Gomez ran through a list of successful relationships that began at SNL.

[There’s] Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost, and Pete [Davidson] and … Machine Gun Kelly," she joked, referencing not only Davidson's flourishing romance with Kim Kardashian, but also his friendship with the "Bloody Valentine" singer.  "Since I don’t want to get on the dating apps, I’m putting out into the universe that I’m manifesting love," Gomez explained.
