Colin Jost knew he had a future with Scarlett Johansson when he saw how well she handled a challenging aspect of her life.
Over the weekend, the “Saturday Night Live” cast member opened up to the New York Times about his relationship with his wife, noting that despite being a movie star, she is pretty good about doing “normal stuff,” too.
“She goes to the supermarket. She’s just very good at wearing a hat and she keeps moving,” Jost said. “She is able to stay a little under the radar, but she’s able to do all these everyday things and enjoy them, too.”
This down-to-earth attitude attributed to a quality Jost said he couldn’t resist.
“I think part of the reason I fell in love with her is she’s a great mom,” the comedian revealed.
The couple, who tied the knot in October 2020, have a 2-year-old son, Cosmo. Johansson is also mom to daughter Rose Dorothy, 9, who she shares with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
“I’ve known Rose, my stepdaughter, since she was 2,” Jost told the Times. “It’s weird. You get to actually preview someone as a mom.”
The “Fly Me to the Moon” star has also revealed her reasons for falling for Jost — and they also have a lot to do with his character.
“I never realized, oh, it’s really important for me — like, I need to be with a compassionate person,” Johansson told Gwyneth Paltrow on the “The Goop Podcast” last year. “That’s like a fundamental characteristic that has to be there.”
“I think that understanding what those fundamental things are that you need in a partner is a must for longevity,” the “Black Widow” star went on. “Because all the rest of it’s hard, and there’s gonna be disagreements or ups and downs, or you’re working on different things at different times. ... But I think identifying those things was a game-changer for me.”
