Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson, 38, seems to have found matrimonial bliss in her third marriage with 40-year-old American comedian, host, and scriptwriter Colin Jost. Together, they are raising their 18-month-old son, Cosmo. Today, Scarlett divulged the secret to maintaining a harmonious marriage with Colin.

Johansson admitted that she and her spouse strive to keep things easy. “I would say that Colin and I laugh a lot, and we also take an interest in each other’s well-being on a regular basis,” the star of “Difficult to Translate” noted. Scarlett pointed out that she and her husband have different temperaments, but it strengthens their union. 

Johansson said her spouse’s profession affects how she communicates with him. “I’m married to a writer, he writes comedy. He’s sometimes, you know, too immersed in his own thoughts, he’s pretty introverted. I’m more extroverted, so our key to harmony is to ask at the end of each day: how are you today?”

Colin Jost is Scarlett’s third husband. Their romance began in 2016 and they made their relationship public towards the end of 2017. Three years into their relationship, the couple exchanged vows in an intimate wedding ceremony. Besides son Cosmo, Scarlett also has an 8-year-old daughter, Rose, from her previous marriage.

Scarlett revealed the process behind choosing her son’s name. The star confessed that she and her husband struggled for quite some time to settle on a name for their baby. Eventually, the actress drew inspiration from her previous naming experience – her daughter Rose was named after her favorite flower. The name Cosmo originates from the cosmos flower. “A cosmos is a beautiful little flower that comes in various colors. We thought it would be a wonderful name for a baby. Rose liked it too,” Johansson reassured.

The actress’s mother-in-law was not particularly thrilled with the name choice for her grandson. Jost’s mother continued to propose alternative names, finding it hard to come to terms with the young parents’ decision, constantly questioning whether it was their final choice. Scarlett, with a hint of humor, noted that once the birth certificate was formalized, Cosmo’s grandmother accepted that she had no choice but to embrace it.
