LOS ANGELES: Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson and comedian Colin Jost have tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in the presence of family and close friends.
The wedding was announced by a charity named Meals on Wheels America via their Instagram handle, saying it was the couple’s “wedding wish” to call attention to the charity.
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.” The post added that Johansson and Jost’s wedding adhered to “COVID-19 safety precautions as directed by the CDC.”
Colin Jost, who is a cast member at Saturday Night Live, first met Scarlett Johansson as she was hosting the season finale in 2017. The couple got engaged in May 2019.
This is Jost’s first marriage. Johansson has been married twice before – to actor Ryan Reynolds and to French businessman Romain Dauriac with whom she has a daughter.
On the work front, Scarlett’s next release is Marvel’s Black Widow where she plays the titular character. The film’s release has been pushed a few times due to COVID-19 and is now scheduled to release in May 2021.
Johansson is one of the highest-paid actresses in the world due to her recurring role as the Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Colin Jost recently released his memoir titled ‘A Very Punchable Face: A Memoir’ which appeared on the Bestseller’s List.
