News of the wedding was announced on Thursday
by the charity Meals on Wheels, which said the couple were
supporting the group's efforts to help elderly people during the
coronavirus pandemic.
"We’re thrilled to break the news that Scarlett Johansson and
Colin Jost were married over the weekend in an intimate ceremony
with their immediate family and love ones, following COVID-19
safety precautions," Meals on Wheels America said on its
Instagram account.
"Their wedding wish is to help make a difference for vulnerable
older adults during this difficult time," the charity said,
asking fans of the couple to make a donation.
Johansson's representative confirmed the news.
Johansson and Jost, a writer and comedian on television sketch
show "Saturday Night Live," started dating about three years ago
and got engaged in May 2019.
It is the first marriage for Jost, 38, and the third for
Johansson, 35, who was previously married to actor Ryan Reynolds
and French businessman Romain Dauriac, with whom she has a
daughter.
Johansson is one of the world's highest-paid actresses thanks to
roles that range from playing the Black Widow in comic book
movies "Iron Man 2" and the "Avengers" franchise to independent
fare like 2019's "Marriage Story," for which she received an
Oscar nomination.
The standalone movie "Black Widow" is expected to be released in
May 2021.
