Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost married back in 2020, and they still seems to be very much in love. They have a son together named Cosmo, and Johansson even contributed to her husband getting a small role in her latest film, "Fly Me to the Moon." They famously met at "SNL," where Jost serves as Weekend Update anchor and Johansson has hosted multiple times. Now, Jost is opening up about meeting his wife through the NBC show and explaining why he didn't ask her out upon the very first opportunity he had

In a recent profile with the New York Times, Scarlett Johansson was candid about her marriage to the "SNL" actor. While they didn't start dating until 2017, they had known each other casually for quite a while. They initially met way back in 2006 when the actress hosted the show while in her early 20s and Colin Jost was a young writer on the TV institution. Apparently, dating was the least of Jost’s concerns at the time, as the comedian was just getting his feet wet at the show. Jost told the publication.
