Scarlett Johansson And Colin Jost Are Always Staring ~Deeply~ Into Each Other's Eyes

Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost’s love story started the way many a celebrity romance has…at a Saturday Night Live cast party.

ScarJost first met in 2006, when Scarlett guest-hosted the show during Colin’s first year as an SNL writer. But it wasn’t until March 2017, when Scarlett guest-hosted the late-night show for the fifth time, that sparks flew between the Marriage Story actress and the current “Weekend Update” co-anchor.

Colin’s SNL castmate Kate McKinnon played matchmaker and set the pair up a few weeks after Scarlett filed for divorce from her ex-husband, journalist Romain Dauriac (with whom she has a 5-year-old daughter), and Colin split from actress Rashida Jones, according to Life & Style. By May, things were already looking pretty official when the couple was spotted making out at the aforementioned afterparty (I officially dub those parties breeding grounds for A-list love affairs).

Ever since Colin popped the question in May 2019, the PDA has just kept on coming. Take the night Scarlett hosted SNL for the sixth time (I mean, just hire her, Lorne Michaels!) and she credited the show for her relationship. “This place means so much to me. I have so many friends here and I met the love of my life here,” she said before wrapping her arms around Colin and planting one on him.

And sure, PDA’s usually a pretty good indication things are going well for a couple, but if you’ve even offhandedly kept up with the rise and fall of celebrity love lives, you'll know all public displays of affection are not created equal. In some cases, they’re signs of true and everlasting love and in others, they point to a sweet, but short-lived romance that now exist only on the pages of outdated magazines.

Finding out which camp ScarJost falls into would typically be a waiting game, but thankfully Terri Orbuch, PhD, author of 5 Simple Steps to Take Your Marriage From Good to Great and professor at Oakland University in Michigan, stepped in and analyzed their body language throughout these past three years.
