Scarlett Johansson is pregnant! Black Widow actress is ‘secretly expecting’ second child – and bundle of joy will be her first with husband Colin Jost

The reports come after the actress sparked rumours she was expecting when she skipped out on several events for her upcoming Marvel flick Black Widow.

Despite being expected to give the film a big promotional push, the source explained:

‘She hasn’t been doing many interviews or events to promote Black Widow which is surprising since it is a huge Marvel/Disney release and she is both the star and an executive producer.’

Johansson has also appeared for promotional appearances virtually including her June 21 appearance on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon in which she was shown from the shoulders up via Zoom.

She was also noticeably missing from several Black Widow related events in recent weeks including a world premiere fan event attended by co-star David Harbour in New York City last week.

There was also a screening in the Hamptons on Friday where Johansson and Jost are often seen out and about.

A Hamptons source for the publication added: ‘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.’

Johansson already has one child – a six-year-old daughter named Rose Dorothy Dauriac – with French journalist ex-husband Romain Dauriac whom she was married to from 2014 to 2017.

DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Johansson and Jost.

Johansson and Jost were first linked in the spring of 2017 after she hosted the longstanding variety show.

They were seen kissing in May and stepped out publicly together for the first time that following December.

He proposed in May 2019 with a stunning 11-carat light brown diamond and the ring is estimated to be worth $450K.

And though their wedding plans got derailed on account of the pandemic, they chose to move forward with an understated ceremony in October 2020  at the actress’ home in Palisades, New York.

Jost returned to work and flashed his wedding ring the following weekend, and the nuptials were confirmed via Meals On Wheels’ Instagram account as a photo was posted that said ‘Jost Married.’

‘Scarlett wanted to figure out a way of doing something that had another kind of meaning or could potentially help in some way,’ Jost then told The Associated Press.

Discussing their wedding, Johansson later said she strived to create a ceremony that was supposed to be intimate, rather than something that felt ‘restricted’ by lockdown rules.

‘I think just keeping it intimate and small made it feel intentional,’ she told People magazine. ‘We wanted it to feel like it had an intentional intimacy as opposed to being something that felt like we were restricted by all these things.’

She added: ‘And there was a lot to take into consideration because of all of the CDC guidelines and making sure everybody was comfortable and safe, following all the COVID protocol.’

The Match Point actress has been married twice before: to Ryan Reynolds from 2008 until 2011 (he is now wed to Blake Lively). And to Dauriac from 2014 until 2017.

Meanwhile, Jost said he didn’t get heavily involved in planning his nuptials because he knew his wife-to-be had  ‘better taste’ than he does.

He said, ‘I don’t pretend to know much about things or have taste in things.

‘I’m very happy to rely on someone who has a lot better taste and knowledge of things. That’s sort of what I’ve learned in general in my life.

‘I’ve never been like, “Oh, should I wear this shirt?”… I never know, so I always would rather someone else tell me.’

He was also more focused on their marriage than the wedding itself, insisting choosing his bride was a ‘way bigger decision’ than the details of their celebration.

He said: ‘I was much happier about getting [that] right than any of the other.

‘I never grew up imagining my dream wedding, like, this is what I want. I imagined my dream partner rather than my dream wedding. There’s a lot of details to it that I just didn’t even consider.’

Black Widow – directed by Cate Shortland – is set for release in the UK on Wednesday with the US release following two days later on Friday, July 9.
