Scarlett Johansson is expecting her first child with husband Colin Jost, according to a report.
The Oscar-nominated actress has been maintaining a low profile, avoiding press conferences and failing to appear at the "Black Widow" premiers in person, and multiple sources revealed to Page Six that this is because she is expecting.
"Scarlett is actually due soon, I know she and Colin are thrilled," one source told the outlet.
"Scarlett is pregnant but has been keeping it very quiet. She has been keeping a very low profile," another added.
A third insider said that Johansson had altered her daily routine to keep her pregnancy under wraps.
"Scarlett usually spends a lot of the summer out in Amagansett and Montauk, and you’d often see her walking her dogs on the beach or getting coffee. But this summer it seems like she is deliberately trying to keep a low profile," the source said.
Neither Johansson nor Jost, who have been married since October 2020, have confirmed the news yet. This will be Jost's first child and Johansson's second. She shares six-year-old daughter Rose with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
Johansson and Jost first met on the set of "Saturday Night Live" in 2006. Jost had been working as a writer for the show when Johansson arrived to host her first episode.
"It was some dumb parody that he had written, and he was in there partly directing this segment we had to do," Johansson recalled of the day they met in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2019.
"That's my first memory of him. He seemed very confident at the time. I don't know if he felt that way, but in that environment, if you're not confident as a writer, your stuff just never gets produced," she added.
Johansson and Jost confirmed their relationship at the 2017 American Museum of Natural History Gala. Two years later they were engaged. In his book, "A Very Punchable Face: A Memoir," Jost described his now-wife as "beautiful, smart, sweet and intimidatingly sophisticated," adding that she was a star with "a grace and a smile that I’ve still never seen in any other human," according to USA Today.
Last July Jost spoke of wanting to start a family during an interview with the outlet.
"It’s strange because a switch kind of flipped for me [with fatherhood]–I don’t know–a year or two ago or something, he said. "It’s definitely on my mind. It’s gonna be, I’m sure, very challenging, but I also think it could be really fun."
