Scarlett Johansson, known to many as the Black Widow from the big screen, steps into a more personal role at home as simply “mom.” The acclaimed Avengers actress is the proud mother of two: daughter Rose Dorothy, whom she shares with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac, and son Cosmo with her current husband, Colin Jost. “At home, thankfully, I’m just mom,” Johansson shared with November 2021. She added that the only exception is occasionally embodying the Black Widow persona, which her daughter finds advantageous at times. Johansson typically keeps her children out of the public eye but frequently discusses her home life and parenting experiences. She has openly spoken about the challenges and joys of motherhood, humorously comparing raising a toddler to “being in an emotionally abusive relationship.” This sentiment was echoed during a 2023 appearance on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast, where she remarked on the sudden shift in parenting difficulty when her daughter turned three. Similarly, she joked about facing the “terrible twos” with Cosmo in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in August 2023, describing it as a physical challenge
Rose Dorothy
Rose Dorothy, now 9, was born on August 30, 2014, in New York City. Her name honors Johansson’s grandmother and reflects the season of her birth. Johansson has revealed glimpses of Rose’s personality, describing her as exceptionally girly and a fan of her mother’s superhero role. Despite recognizing her mom in older films like Home Alone 3, Rose enjoys simply being with her mother, even if it means lingering outside bathroom doors. Now at an age where parents begin to embarrass, Rose’s reactions to her mother’s playful antics, like dancing at the school bus arrival, are of mild embarrassment, which Johansson playfully exaggerates.
Cosmo Jost
Cosmo Jost, born in August 2021, was welcomed into the world with a brief announcement on social media by his father, Colin Jost. The couple decided to keep certain details like his birth date and location private. At two years old, Cosmo has already made connections on movie sets and has shown early talent in swimming, described by Jost as nearly swimming independently. The name Cosmo, a floral name like his sister’s, initially puzzled some family members but has since become a beloved part of his identity.
Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost: A Timeline of Their Romance
Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost’s romance is truly heartwarming. The pair first crossed paths in 2006 during a Saturday Night Live episode where Johansson hosted and Jost was a part of the writing team. They began dating in 2017 and after three years, they exchanged vows in October 2020. Prior to her union with Jost, Johansson was married to actor Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011 and to French journalist and art dealer Romain Dauriac from 2014 to 2017, with whom she shares her daughter, Rose Dorothy. “I didn’t know what I wanted or needed from somebody else. Identifying those things was a game-changer for me,” Johansson reflected during an April 2023 Goop podcast appearance. She credits the success of her relationship with Jost to their harmonious approach to life. In 2021, the couple welcomed their son, Cosmo, expanding their delightful family.
