The couple’s romantic journey began with rumors in 2017, following Saturday Night Live’s season 42 finale party in May, shortly after Scarlett Johansson hosted the show for the fifth time in March.
They quietly married in 2020, and in August 2021, they surprised fans with news of the birth of their first child together, Cosmo.
During their time together, Scarlett, also a mother to daughter Rose, nine, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac, has faced occasional jokes about her on SNL.
Recently, her comedian husband Colin Jost shared his thoughts on what it’s like for him to see her k*ss fellow actors on set, particularly during the filming of Fly Me to the Moon, where Scarlett developed an on-screen romance with Channing Tatum, who is engaged to Zöe Kravitz.
“I think if I was, at this point, I’d be in trouble,” he candidly admitted, before pointing out to a moment where he inadvertently had to watch a video montage exclusively of scenes in which she’s k*ssing other guys. When Scarlett won the American Cinematheque Award [in 2021], we were there and one of the things that night was a whole montage of k*sses,” he recalled, adding: “I was like, ‘OK, there you go. I’m glad someone put it together in one package.'”
Scarlett recently also had her own cheeky commentary about Colin’s line of work, during an appearance on the Today Show, during which she discussed his upcoming gig covering the Paris Olympics’ surfing competitions — in Tahiti for two weeks.
Not convinced the gig isn’t a vacation disguised as a job, she joked: “Even I’m like, ‘How did you get this gig?’ I just want to know.”
Nonetheless, she shared: “When they announced the Paris Olympics he immediately found out that the surf competition [is] in Tahiti which is so cool,” and noted: “He loves to surf, we have a place in Montauk, he’s always out there surfing. Somehow the dream became a reality, and now he’s going to be in Tahiti for two weeks,” she continued, before joking: “I’m like, ‘Poor you.'”
She went on: “He’s like, ‘Poor me I’m going to be all over the place,'” adding: “I’m like, are you? I think if you can have a piña colada on air while you’re working it’s not technically work.”
