Hollywood
star
Scarlett
Johansson
and
Saturday
Night
Live
scribe
Colin
Jost
are
set
to
welcome
their
first
child
together.
Johansson,
the
star
of
Marvel's
Avengers
film
franchise,
first
sparked
pregnancy
rumours
in
June
after
skipping
out
on
several
Black
Widow
events.
While
performing
at
a
stand-up
comedy
gig
at
the
Ridgefield
Playhouse
in
Connecticut
over
the
weekend,
Jost
said,
"We're
having
a
baby,
it's
exciting," according
to
a
source
in
the
audience
as
quoted
by
Page
Six.
Johansson,
36,
is
already
a
mother
to
her
six-year-old
daughter
Rose
whom
she
shares
with
French
journalist
Romain
Dauriac.
She
and
Jost,
39,
quietly
got
married
last
October
after
three
years
of
dating.
Their
wedding
was
attended
by
immediate
family
and
loved
ones
following
the
COVID-19
safety
precautions.
Johansson
is
currently
suing
Disney
Studios,
parent
company
of
Marvel,
alleging
that
her
contract
was
breached
when
Black
Widow
was
released
on
their
streaming
platform
Disney
Plus.
She
was
recently
cast
in
Wes
Anderson's
latest
film,
which
also
stars
Margot
Robbie
and
Tom
Hanks
as
well
as
the
acclaimed
auteur's
old
favourites
Adrien
Brody,
Bill
Murray,
Jason
Schwartzman
and
Tilda
Swinton.
