Scarlett Johansson’s husband, Colin Jost, confirmed that his wife is expecting their first child, and he will soon become a father. He made the announcement while performing at a stand-up gig at the Ridgefield Playhouse in Connecticut.

Page Six had revealed in July that the actor is pregnant. She is already the mother of six-year-old Rose from her previous marriage to Frenchman Romain Dauriac. Scarlett and Colin tied the knot in October 2020 after dating for three years.

The Lucy actress sparked pregnancy rumors in June after she skipped most of the Black Widow events. A source at Page Six said at the time:

“She hasn’t been doing many interviews or events to promote ‘Black Widow,’ which is surprising since it is a huge Marvel/Disney release, and she is both the star and an executive producer.”

The 36-year-old did promotional appearances on Zoom and virtually on “The Tonight Show” to chat with Jimmy Fallon that month.

Scarlett Johansson sued Disney a few days ago in a significant and controversial move, stating that her contract had been breached when Black Widow was released on Disney+.
