‘Jost married’ to Scarlett
Marvel star Scarlett Johansson has married “Saturday Night Live” comedian Colin Jost. And word of their union came from a most-unexpected place.
According to Meals on Wheels — yes, the nonprofit that combats hunger and isolation among seniors — the “Black Widow” actress and “Weekend Update” host wed last weekend “in an intimate ceremony with their immediate family and love(d) ones.” Rather, a weekend update and a marriage story, all rolled into one.
The organization shared the news Thursday on Instagram with a picture of decked-out Staten Island Ferry that read “Jost Married,” proving that the pair is likely not above cheesy wedding hashtags. (Hey, it could’ve been #Scarjost.) Reps for the stars confirmed the marriage to The Times Thursday but provided no additional details.
Johansson, 35, and Jost, 38, followed COVID-19 safety precautions as directed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Meals on Wheels’ post said, adding that “(t)heir wedding wish is to help make a difference for vulnerable older adults during this difficult time by supporting @mealsonwheelsamerica.” The organization asked followers to consider donating to “celebrate the happy couple.”
TMZ reported that they wed in Palisades, N.Y., where Johansson bought a $4 million home in 2018.
Lil Wayne praised President Donald Trump on Twitter.
Though their stories sometimes vary, they reportedly began dating after they connected on the set of “Saturday Night Live” in 2017. They were engaged in May 2019, and Johansson showed off her 11-carat engagement ring during subsequent appearances at San Diego Comic- Con International and “The Ellen Degeneres Show.”
It’s the third marriage for Johansson. The Oscarnominated “Marriage Story” and “Jojo Rabbit” star was wed to actor Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2010, and to journalist Romain Dauriac from 2014 to 2017. She and Dauriac share a daughter, Rose, who was born in 2014.
It’s the first marriage for Jost.
In July, while promoting his memoir, “A Very Punchable Face,” Jost told the New York Times that he was “about to get married.”
“I now almost have a stepdaughter who I love and is a big part of my life now,” he said. “I’m starting to do more and more outside of the show. It felt like the right time to look back.”
Lil Wayne latest rapper to support Trump
Lil Wayne is feeling the heat after he became the latest prominent rapper to endorse President Donald Trump for re-election.
Before Trump jetted to Miami for last-minute campaigning, he met privately with the “A Milli” artist.
“Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership,” Lil Wayne tweeted Thursday. “He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done.”
Trump retweeted the post from his personal account.
And the internet went wild.
“Rappers are Republicans?!?!” tweeted conservative pundit JT Lewis.
“That fave hip hop playlist getting shorter by the minute,” tweeted New Yorker writer Jelani Cobb.
