The planet is rejoicing with the birth of a new Avenger. Scarlett Johansson, also known as Black Widow, for the MCU fans, welcomed her first child with Colin Jost. It was revealed by Saturday Night Live star.
In an
Instagram post, Jost wrote, "Ok Ok we had a baby. His name is Cosmo. We
Love Him Very Much." Marcel Pariseau, Scarlett Johansson's rep, confirmed
the news too. Jost also requested the fans to give them some privacy. He said
that privacy would be "greatly appreciated." He even joked that all
inquiries should be directed to Michael Che, his SNL co-star. Check his
Instagram here.
Che took
the joke in stride and even updated his Instagram bio to include "cosmo's
publicist." He also started sharing fan inquiries regarding the baby on
his Instagram Stories. He wrote, "it's one thing to be obsessed with adult
strangers you admire, but like, a baby? the (expletive) oceans are dying, and
you're writing about somebody's baby? s'matta with you."
Che was surprised
by Jost's post, and when someone enlightened him about it, he wrote, "he
WHAT?!" and then wrote, "Well played jost.. well played.."
Johansson
and Jost got engaged in May 2019 and got married in October. They shared the
news of their wedding via the Instagram page for Meals on Wheels America, which
is a charity that offers resources and foods to older adults. The post showed a
picture of a Staten Island Ferry with "Jost Married" across
the image.
The caption
of the post read, "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 loved ones, following COVID-19 safety
precautions as directed by the CDC."
Scarlett
Johansson met Jost via Saturday Night Live. She has hosted the show many times
since 2006, and Jost joined the show in 2005 as a writer. He became the Head
Writer and Weekend Update co-author later.
They
announced their relationship via red carpet in 2018, when they posed together
affectionately at the Premiere of Johansson's film, Avengers: Infinity War. In the film, she played the role of Black Widow, one of the avengers who fought
against Thanos.
In his book
"A Very Punchable Face: A Memoir," Jost wrote about meeting Johansson
for the first time and described her as a "beautiful, smart, sweet and
intimidatingly sophisticated" star who possessed a "grace and a smile
that I've still never seen in any other human." The book was released
earlier this year.
The
marriage with Jost is Scarlett Johansson's third marriage. She was previously
married to Ryan Reynolds and journalist Romain Dauriac. She shares a daughter
Rose Dorothy Dauriac with the latter. This is Jost's first marriage and child.
Before the baby's arrival, Scarlett Johannsson made news when she sued Disney a few weeks ago. She claimed that her contract was breached as Black Widow (2021) was simultaneously released on Disney Plus with the theatrical release. As a result, it cut down on her potential for profits. Elsewhere in the entertainment world, comedian Sean Lock is dead at 58.
