Jacob Elordi responded to Renee Rapp calling him “so babygirl” in a new Saturday Night Live teaser released Thursday.
The 26-year-old Euphoria star, who is still dating Olivia Jade Giannulli despite speculation of a split, will host the first episode of the sketch comedy in 2024, with the Mean Girls star appearing as a musical guest.
In the short clip uploaded to the show's main Instagram page, the Australian actor was seen standing between the actress and comedian Bowen Yang.
“Hello, I'm Jacob Elordi and I'm hosting SNL Renee Rapp this week,” he addressed the camera while wearing jeans, a white shirt and a warm red cardigan.
Yang quickly jumped in and said, “Renee, you're so right.” “He's such a little girl,” and she replied with a laugh, “I know I said that, he's such a little girl.”

Jacob clasped his hands behind his back and glanced at both Renee and Bowen, then asked, “Me?” I'm a little girl?'
He then turned to the singer and asked, “So, what's Renee?”, prompting her to simply reply, “Oh, I'm a mom.”
The camera then cut to the SNL star jokingly putting his hands on his hips and proclaiming, “And I'm a big, wrinkled son!”
The caption of the teaser video shown to the show's fans and followers read: “BBG, mother and big wrinkled son.”
Babygirl is a fandom term for a male fictional character or celebrity who appears to have the bad boy persona, but is interpreted by fans as adorable, sweet, or even kind-hearted.
And “mother” is a slang term used for women who are an icon or prominent figure – such as actresses or celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Earlier this week, the Saltburn star appeared in an earlier teaser as he prepared to host SNL for the first time.
In the humorous video, Elordi was seen rehearsing on stage, but his nervousness made it impossible for him to walk down a few steps like all the presenters had done in the past.

As he mentally prepared to walk down the steps, SNL comedians Punkie Johnson and Marcello Hernandez walked by.
Then Johnson called out to Jacob and asked, “Hey man, are you okay?” He didn't answer and instead talked to himself by saying, “You all make it look so easy.”
The clip shows flashbacks of other former presenters casually strutting down the steps before their opening monologues.
Back in the present, 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 go down the stairs.
After finally gaining the confidence to walk down the steps, the actor walked through the stage doors – only to trip on a mat, fall down the stairs and fall flat on his face.
Both SNL stars quickly ran away, leaving Elordi, who said, “I'm fine,” as he tried to pick himself up from the ground.
The latest teaser comes after it was reported that the Euphoria actor is still dating Lori Loughlin's daughter Olivia, despite speculation of a split.
Sources told TMZ on Thursday that the couple, who were first linked back in 2021, are still together, adding that they are both currently in New York ahead of his hosting gig on SNL.
