Scarlett Johansson’s romantic journey has certainly had its ups and downs, marked by two divorces from Ryan Reynolds and Romain Dauriac. However, it seems that the third time is proving to be a winning streak for the Marvel star. Johansson and Jost first crossed paths in 2006, but it wasn’t until 2017 that Johansson developed an interest in him, leading to their wedding in 2020.
Jost acknowledged that he found her both beautiful and impressively sophisticated back in 2006, but it was her role as a mother that truly captured the comedian’s heart for the actress.
He went on to say that this was the reason she fell for him, as Jost remembered catching a glimpse of the Black Widow star’s nurturing side with her stepdaughter, Rose.
Additionally, the Lucy star highlighted that humor and communication play pivotal roles in the success of her third marriage.
Scarlett Johansson entered a new chapter in her life when she began dating Colin Jost, showcasing a level of maturity that set this relationship apart from her previous two marriages. The actress revealed that her newfound clarity about what she desired in a relationship was the pivotal moment that changed everything.
The actress elaborated, stating, “It’s really important for me… to be with a compassionate person,” highlighting the foundation of her enduring relationship with the comedian.
While the two had some awareness of one another due to her early SNL appearances, it was her 2017 performance that truly intensified their connection, with Johansson later noting that the timing was perfectly aligned.
