In the wake of Nicole Kidman’s 19-year marriage ending, Scarlett Johansson has stepped forward to challenge the notion that celebrity unions are inherently fragile.
The Black Widow star, married to comedian and Saturday Night Live writer Colin Jost since 2020, cited her own relationship as evidence that lasting love is possible even under the spotlight.
“People love to paint celebrity marriages as fragile or temporary, but that’s just not the reality for everyone,” Johansson said. “Colin and I are building a life together, and it’s strong because we choose to show up for each other every day. Fame doesn’t have to define a marriage.”
Johansson and Jost, who welcomed a son in 2021, have become one of Hollywood’s most admired couples, balancing high-profile careers while maintaining relative privacy around their family life. Johansson credits their success to trust, respect, and a shared sense of humor.
Her comments come amid renewed debate about whether the pressures of fame make lasting relationships difficult. Johansson, however, emphasized that each marriage is unique.
“Every marriage is different, whether you’re in the public eye or not,” she added. “It comes down to love, effort, and commitment—not the cameras or headlines.”
By highlighting her own experience, Johansson offers a reminder that many celebrity partnerships thrive quietly, showing that love in Hollywood can endure beyond the headlines.
