Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost Announce Amicable Divorce After Four Years of Marriage
In a surprising turn of events, actress Scarlett Johansson and comedian Colin Jost have announced their decision to divorce, bringing an end to their four-year marriage. In a joint statement released through their representatives, the couple emphasized their mutual respect and commitment to co-parenting their son, Cosmo.
“After much thoughtful consideration, we have decided to part ways as friends. This was not an easy decision, but we believe it is the best course for our family and individual happiness,” the statement read. “We remain committed to raising Cosmo together and ask for privacy as we navigate this transition.”
Sources close to the couple describe the split as amicable, noting that both Johansson and Jost are prioritizing their son’s well-being. “There’s no animosity, no drama. They simply grew apart,” a friend of the couple shared. “Their busy schedules and long periods of time apart ultimately made it hard to maintain the relationship.”

Fans admired their playful, supportive dynamic, with Jost frequently poking fun at their life together during SNL skits.
The couple married in an intimate ceremony in 2020, shortly after getting engaged, and welcomed Cosmo in 2021. Despite their personal differences, insiders insist that both Johansson and Jost are focused on ensuring a positive co-parenting relationship.
“They’re both incredibly dedicated to Cosmo,” another source shared. “Their love for him hasn’t changed, and they’re committed to raising him in a healthy, loving environment.”
Neither Johansson nor Jost has commented on future plans, but the entertainment world will no doubt be watching closely as they move forward with their individual lives.
While fans are saddened by the news, many have expressed their respect for the couple’s maturity in handling the situation. Social media has been flooded with messages of support, wishing both Scarlett and Colin happiness in the next chapter of their lives.
As one fan tweeted, “If Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost can navigate a breakup with grace, there’s hope for all of us.”
