Scarlett Johansson Makes Public Debut With Rumored Boyfriend Colin Jost
Looks like the Avengers star is getting serious with her suspected beau.
E! News reports that Scarlett Johansson and Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" co-anchor Colin Jost have just gone public with their relationship. On Thursday, Nov. 30, 2017, Johansson and Jost attended the 2017 American Museum of Natural History Museum Gala together. And while they posed for photos on the red carpet separately, they were snapped together during the event.
The two, who met after she hosted SNL in 2006, were first rumored to have gotten together at the comedy show's after-party in May 2017. As Nicki Swift previously reported, a source told Page Six that Johansson and Jost "were making out at the bar." They were reportedly seen together once again at Dave Chappelle's birthday party that August.
While he never confirmed his romance with Johansson, Jost did open up about his admiration for the actress. Speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the 2017 Emmy Awards, he said of Johansson, "She's wonderful."
He continued, "She's pretty cool... It's hard to have a lot of complaints, she's pretty awesome."
Johansson has officially been living the single life since September 2017, when her divorce from husband Romain Dauriac was finalized. With Dauriac, she shares a young daughter, Rose Dorothy. Prior to her marriage to Dauriac, Johansson was married to Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds. The two split in 2010 after getting hitched in 2008.
While we wait for more details about Johansson's relationship with Jost, read up on the real reasons she separated from her second husband.
