Like their wedding, the announcement that they had a child was also a surprise. A few days before the official post on the subject, Jost reportedly mentioned the pregnancy while performing stand-up at The Ridgefield Playhouse in Connecticut, according to People. On August 18, Jost posted a text statement reading, “Ok ok, we had a baby… His name is Cosmo.”

They added that “privacy would be greatly appreciated,” and jokingly directed all questions to their “publicist” Michael Che. In the caption, Jost wrote, “wegotawaywithitforalongtime #nokidspolicy #we’regoingtodisneyworld.”

A source People later that month, “Colin is considerate and helpful in everyday life so adding one more to the mix should be fine. The baby is the best thing ever for both of them.”

November 2021
At the 35th Annual American Cinematheque Awards on November 18, Johansson was the awarded the evening’s American Cinematheque Award. On the red carpet, she told reporters that she was “in a baby bliss bubble.”

“I feel very fortunate that I’ve been able to take this time to really enjoy the early stages of my motherhood with our son,” Johansson told Entertainment Tonight. “It’s been wonderful. I’m in a ‘baby bliss bubble.’”

February 2022
A week before Super Bowl LVI, Amazon released their commercial for Alexa, starring Johansson and Jost, who discover their Alexa device can read their minds. Though they should know everything about one another, Alexa soon reveals more than they want to know.

It was a commercial heavy month: Johansson launched a skincare line called The Outset, which used its founder’s gorgeous side profile in an Instagram post.

In the comment section, her husband wrote, “Is this the best way to contact you? I’m starting a similar brand called ‘Part of a Face’ and would love to use this pH๏τo. Thanks.”

March 2022
In an interview with InStyle, Johansson shared that Jost was more helpful in private than public with her skincare line, and said he tried out a self-warming face mask that gave him an allergic reaction.

“He was like, ‘It’s spread, and it’s melting off my face!’” Johansson said. “He was completely freaking out.”

Later that month on The Drew Barrymore Show, Johansson got her opportunity to tease Jost, commenting on his high school bowl haircut. It would have kept her from dating him then, for sure.

High School Scarlett Johansson Wouldn’t Have Dated Teenage Colin Jost

“Firstly, my brother had that same haircut … both of my brothers and I just can’t,” she said. “There’s no way. I mean, who decided on that cut as a stylish thing? What hairdresser was like, ‘I’ll try this.’”

During an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Johansson talked about how she and Jost landed on the name Cosmo, joking they “just threw a bunch of letters together.”

“It just seemed like a refreshing—it’s so charming. Our friends all liked it,” she went on.

Cosmo is also the name of a flower, just like Johansson’s daughter Rose, which Clarkson remarked on.

“They are both flowers,” Johansson said. “Not a lot of people make that connection. Cosmo is a really sweet little flower that comes in different shades of orange and yellow.”

On September 29, Jost was a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers, who asked him if he had any fears about parenting.

“I think when you have a decent imagination, it’s worse,” Jost responded. “You don’t have rational fears, you have creative fears.”

His “number one fear” for what could happen to Cosmo was “eagles.”

“We go for walks, and I’m scanning the horizon. I’m on eagle watch,” Jost said. “And then we go for a walk, and she’s got Cosmo in the stroller, and Scarlett puts a little hat on his head that has mouse ears on the hat. And I’m like, ‘You’re dressing our baby like food.’”

April 2023
On April 18, on the Goop podcast, Johansson told host Gwyneth Paltrow that she and Jost “move around the world in the same way.”

“I never realized, ‘Oh, it’s really important for me, I need to be with a compᴀssionate person. That’s a fundamental characteristic that has to be there,’” she explained. “It worked with Colin and I because I was finally able to step back and respect myself enough to know what those [fundamental wants and needs] were.”

For the premiere of Johansson’s film Asteroid City, she and Jost attended the Cannes Film Festival.

October 2023
The couple did another commercial together, this time for The Outset. Johansson gave Jost a facial while they talked holiday traditions and plans for their fans.

“My favorite holiday memory is when we told our daughter that we were having our son,” the Black Widow star shared. “We did it by giving her a little ornament that was the mama bear and the papa bear and the baby bear and then there was a little arrow pointing to the mama bear’s stomach.”
