Entertainment Desk August 19, 2021

Congratulations are in order for Lost in Translation actor Scarlett Johanson who gave birth to her son, Cosmo, with Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost. The couple, who tied the knot in 2020, confirmed the news through Jost’s Instagram.

He took to the picture-sharing app to make the announcement, writing, “Okay, we had a baby. His name is Cosmo. We love him very much. Privacy would be greatly appreciated.”

This is the couple’s first child together. Johansson is also mom to daughter Rose Dorothy, who will be turning seven this year.

Johansson and Jost married in an intimate wedding ceremony after getting engaged in 2019.

Previously, Johansson made headlines when the Black Widow star sued the Walt Disney Co, alleging that the company breached her contract when it offered the film on streaming at the same time it played in theatres.

Disney said there was “no merit” to the lawsuit, saying it had complied with her contract. It added in a statement that the release of the movie on its streaming platform had “significantly enhanced her (Johansson’s) ability to earn additional compensation on top of the $20 million she has received to date.”

Johansson’s complaint, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, argued that the dual release strategy of Black Widow had reduced her compensation, which was based partly on box office receipts from what was supposed to be an exclusive run in cinemas
