Scarlett Johansson and Husband Colin Jost Have the Sweetest Love Story: How They Met and More

2017

The pair heated up fast during their first year together. Colin gushed over the “wonderful” ScarJo during an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the Emmy Awards. “She’s pretty cool,” he said. “It’s hard to have a lot of complaints … she’s pretty awesome.”

Scarlett later shared her first recollection of him was from 2010 when she appeared in a sketch he had written.

“It was some dumb parody that he had written, and he was in there partly directing this segment we had to do,” the Lucy actress told The Hollywood Reporter in 2019 about Colin’s Teen Mom-inspired script. “That’s my first memory of him. He seemed very confident at the time. I don’t know if he felt that way, but in that environment, if you’re not confident as a writer, your stuff just never gets produced.”

An insider told Life & Style at the time that Scarlett’s “close pal” and sketch actress Kate McKinnon “pushed” the pair “to go on their first date” after they hit it off at an SNL cast party later that year.
