Once an elusive couple, Scarlett Johansson and Saturday Night Live's Colin Jost are engaged — and not shy about who knows they're really into one another.
Their upcoming wedding will mark Jost's first marriage and Johansson's third, following relationships with ex-husband Ryan Reynolds and Romain Dauriac, a journalist with whom Johansson shares her daughter Rose.
Unlike some celebrity couples, ScarJo and Jost kept things fairly low-key early on in their relationship, and almost completely out of the public eye. Now, they're happy to step out together during big Hollywood moments.
As for when Jost and Johansson will officially tie the knot, that's the one mystery they're keeping about their romance. One thing's for sure: Johansson would much prefer it if Michael Che, Jost's SNL co-star, did not throw the bachelor party.

"I feel like if [Michael] throws it, it’s going to be, like, by the Port Authority. And it’s gonna be very local. I don’t think that’s a good idea... Michael’s not throwing it. He’s not. Is this a thing now? Michael, I know where you work, Michael," Johansson joked during an interview with Jimmy Fallon.
Only time will tell if Johansson will get her wish. Here's all the major milestones Johansson and Jost hit during their relationship.
