Colin Jost, Scarlett Johansson's relationship timeline: Romance over the years

Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson’s relationship is one that started in a most unexpected way, as they met on the set of Saturday Night Live (SNL).

The couple, who tied the knot in 2020, first met when Johansson hosted an episode of the popular sketch comedy show back in 2006. At the time, Jost was a writer for SNL, while Johansson was the celebrity guest, but their connection didn’t spark immediately.

In a 2017 interview, the 42-year-old recalled that he had admired Johansson from afar, but their initial interaction was simply professional.

However, when the former wife of Ryan Reynolds, returned to SNL in 2017, Jost and Johansson started to form a deeper bond.

Their relationship blossomed off-screen, and the couple made their first public appearance together in 2017, confirming that they were dating. Despite their busy careers, the pair kept their romance relatively low-key, with Jost often joking about their dynamic in interviews.

Scarlett Johansson, who was previously married to actor Ryan Reynolds and journalist Romain Dauriac, found in Jost a man who was "down-to-earth" and grounded, which was a breath of fresh air for her after high-profile relationships.

On the contrary, Fly Me to the Moon star found a partner who brought out his best qualities and was supportive of his work.

Their relationship, often described as "unconventional" by those who know them, was built on humor, mutual respect, and a shared passion for making people laugh.

After a couple of years of dating, the couple got engaged in 2019, and they quietly tied the knot in 2020, during the pandemic, in a small, intimate ceremony.

Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson's relationship has continued to thrive, with the couple balancing their careers and personal lives. They share a child together and seem to be one of Hollywood’s more grounded couples.
