The Serendipitous Meeting: December 2019
The story of Cecily Strong and Jack began at a Christmas gathering in December 2019. Encouraged by her agent, Strong approached Jack, whose surname remains private. Recounting the encounter in a Vulture piece from April 2020, Strong described her initial impressions: “I talk to the man with the mustache. He’s very cute,” she penned. “I have social anxiety, and I’m drunk and tired, so I have no idea what we talk about.” Despite her nerves, the connection was undeniable, leading them to exchange numbers and begin dating soon after.
Early Romance and Shared Grief: April 2020
In her candid Vulture essay, Strong offered a glimpse into the burgeoning relationship amidst personal sorrow. As she navigated the grief of losing her cousin, Owen, her bond with Jack deepened. She reflected on the timing, stating, “At first I thought it was so difficult to meet someone right as I was losing someone I loved so much. I knew he’d have to be patient with me. He’d have to let me grieve,” Strong explained. Finding solace in their connection, she added, “But grieving for Owen was like nothing I’d ever experienced, and I promised Owen and myself to continue to let all that love be there along with the sadness.” This period solidified their relationship, with Strong acknowledging Jack as a “gift” during a challenging time.
Engagement Announcement: December 2023 (Revealed March 2024)
The couple’s relationship reached a new milestone in December 2023 when Jack proposed. Cecily Strong shared the amusing engagement story during a March 2024 appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. She recounted the unexpected reveal: “One day he was like, ‘I’m so inundated with emails and texts, look at this.’ And he showed me his phone, and the first text was from a friend that said, ‘How did it go?! Ring emoji,’” Strong detailed. The accidental discovery led to the official proposal. She also humorously mentioned the ring sizing mishap, noting it initially only fit her index finger.
