Scarlett Johansson has tied the knot with her partner Colin Jost.

The Avengers actress, 35, and the Saturday Night Live star, 38, exchanged vows at the weekend, two years after they first got together.

The couple said “I do” in an “intimate ceremony” with their close family and friends, in accordance with coronavirus guidelines.

The happy news was announced on Instagram by the organisation Meals On Wheels, which said the newlyweds’ wedding wish was to “help make a difference for vulnerable older adults during this difficult time”.

Jost popped the question in May after the couple had been dating for two years.

Not long afterwards, Johansson appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show but would not divulge many details about the “very special moment”.

However, she did tease that Jost’s proposal was “surprising” and a bit James Bond like.
