Scarlett Johansson & Colin Jost: Is the Wedding Off?
The A-list leading lady and the Saturday Night Live star aren’t seeing eye to eye on their future.
The comedian’s spotted frolicking with other women — and his fiancée is nowhere in sight!
DURING a July 20 interview with Andy Cohen, Colin Jost blamed the Covid-19 pandemic for forcing him and fiancée Scarlett Johansson to “rethink” their wedding plans. “We don’t know whether we can do a live show for [Saturday Night Live] yet, let alone have a wedding where the audience [are] elders,” the comedian, 38, explained. But a source tells Star their nuptials are in limbo for a very different reason: “These past few months have been difficult, and they’ve been spending time apart.”
That much was clear when Colin was spotted during a recent beach day in New York’s tony Hamptons, chatting it up with one beach babe and surfing with another. Meanwhile, the Black Widow star, 35 — who was snapped grocery shopping on the island just weeks earlier — was nowhere to be found. Location has also become a major sticking point for the couple, who began dating in 2017 following Scarlett’s divorce from Romain Dauriac, the father of her 6-year-old daughter, Rose. According to the insider, Scarlett prefers to stay in NYC while Colin, now hyping his new memoir, A Very Punchable Face, hopes to relocate to L.A. when his time on SNL is up. “The move to the West Coast has become the elephant in the room,” says the confidant, noting it’s “caused a bit of friction between them.” The tension is so bad that the wedding is now on hold, says the pal — maybe for good. “Colin and Scarlett love each other very much and want to work things out,” explains the source, “but they seem to have very different visions for the future right now.”
