A happy ending for ScarJost! Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost’s love story is one for the books.
The Golden Globe nominee and the Saturday Night Live star were first spotted together in May 2017 at an afterparty celebrating the NBC variety show’s season 42 finale. They continued to be hot and heavy through the summer, often spending weekends and holidays together on the East End of Long Island.
That December, the couple made their first public appearance together at the American Museum of Natural History Gala in New York City. They also debuted their relationship on TV that month when they held hands while ice-skating at Rockefeller Center on a holiday-themed episode of SNL.
Jost supported Johansson at the Los Angeles premiere of her movie Avengers: Infinity War in April 2018, marking their first official red carpet appearance as a pair. The next month, he called Johansson his “girlfriend” during a “Weekend Update” segment on SNL.
The low-key couple continued to hit red carpets together through the end of 2018, attending the Met Gala in May and the Emmys in September. By February 2019, Us Weekly broke the news that the duo had moved in together.
“Colin is still head over heels for Scarlett,” a source told Us at the time. “He thinks she is incredible, kind, beautiful. He is beyond doting to her and loves showing her off when they’re out. Scarlett loves Colin too, and they are in it for the long haul. … Colin gets a starry-eyed look in his eyes when he talks about her.”
Johansson and Jost revealed their engagement in May 2019 after two years of dating. By October 2020, it was announced that the twosome had quietly tied the knot amid the coronavirus pandemic while surrounded by immediate family and loved ones.
This is Jost’s first marriage. Meanwhile, Johansson was previously married to Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011 and Romain Dauriac from 2014 to 2017. She and the French journalist share daughter Rose.

Johansson finally shared some details of her fiancé’s proposal, saying on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, “He did, like, a whole James Bond situation. He’s got a lot behind that news desk.

The actress revealed in an interview with Parade that baseball is a “sore subject” for the couple because she is a diehard New York Yankees fan and he loves the Mets. “He just told me that he’d rather see the [Boston] Red Sox win than the Yankees win. Like, what?!” she told the magazine. “I said I was just going to ignore that.” Christopher Polk/Shutterstock
In her interview with Parade, Johansson revealed what attracted her to Jost. “What you see is what you get with him,” she told the magazine. “He’s very optimistic, easygoing, funny, nice, and those are the qualities that really drew me to him.” RCF / MEGA
The Oscar nominee opened up about how her relationship with Jost went from platonic to romantic. “It’s so funny to have a long-term shared experience with someone and then the relationship changes,” she told Parade. Shutterstock
The couple secretly tied the knot more than a year after announcing their engagement. The news of their nuptials was announced by the Meals on Wheels Instagram account. “We’re thrilled to break the news that Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost were married over the weekend in an intimate ceremony with their immediate family and love ones, following COVID-19 safety precautions as directed by the CDC,” the statement read. “Their wedding wish is to help make a difference for vulnerable older adults during this difficult time by supporting @mealsonwheelsamerica.

The comedian decided to join in the fun by pulling a prank on the actress as she was being honored with a Generation Award at the 2021 MTV Movie and TV Awards. Jost poured slime on Johansson as she was finishing her speech at the May 2021 event. "What the f--k?" the Black Widow star asked her husband. "MTV! You got slimed!" he responded, shortly before being informed that slime was used during Nickelodeon award shows. Jost did help clean up the accident by offering his wife a towel. MTV
During a stand-up set in Ridgefield, Connecticut, the Coming 2 America star revealed that his wife was expecting the couple's first child. “We’re having a baby," he said from the stage. "It’s exciting.” The news came just months after Johansson first sparked pregnancy rumors when she was absent from all in-person press events for Black Widow ahead of the film's July 2021 release. Fans noted that her virtual interviews were all shot as close-ups, hiding everything below her shoulders. Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock

The couple walked their first red carpet together since the birth of their son Cosmo four months prior. “It’s been wonderful,” Johansson said when asked about parenthood at the 35th Annual American Cinematheque Awards. “I’m in a ‘baby bliss bubble.’” Image Press Agency/NurPhoto/Shutterstock

The parents starred as themselves in an Amazon Alexa commercial, set to air during Super Bowl LVI. In the clip, Jost and Johansson say it's almost like the smart assistant can read minds, and then they imagine scenarios where Alexa reacts to their thoughts. The blender turns on as Jost bores his wife with details of his tanning plans, and Fleetwood Mac's "Little Lies" plays after Johansson assures her husband that love scenes are "the worst." After Alexa outs them as terrible dinner party hosts, they realize it's best that the automated system hasn't achieved telepathy yet. Amazon/YouTube
