Scarlett Johansson is pregnant.

The Oscar-nominated actress is expecting her first child with husband Colin Jost, multiple sources tell Page Six.
One source told us: “Scarlett is actually due soon, I know she and Colin are thrilled.”
Another insider added: “Scarlett is pregnant but has been keeping it very quiet. She has been keeping a very low profile.”
The “Avengers” star, 36, sparked pregnancy rumors in June after skipping out on several “Black Widow” events.
“She hasn’t been doing many interviews or events to promote ‘Black Widow’ which is surprising since it is a huge Marvel/Disney release and she is both the star and an executive producer,” our source explained.
Instead, she’s been carrying out promotional appearances via Zoom, appearing virtually on the “Tonight Show” to chat with Jimmy Fallon on June 21 and conspicuously only shot from the shoulders up.
She was also absent from a “Black Widow” screening in the Hamptons Friday — attended by her co-star David Harbour and followed by a party at Mariska Hargitay’s home — even though she and Jost own a home in Montauk, where they’re frequently seen out and about.
A Hamptons source told us: “Scarlett usually spends a lot of the summer out in Amagansett and Montauk, and you’d often see her walking her dogs on the beach or getting coffee. But this summer it seems like she is deliberately trying to keep a low profile.”
Disney has already thrown “Black Widow” events in New York, Los Angeles, and London but sans ScarJo. The actress stars in the big-budget flick — released this weekend after being postponed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic — as the titular character, a Russian-born spy-turned-Avenger. It’s among a number of movies which Hollywood hopes will revive the box office.
Florence Pugh, who plays Romanoff’s sister Yelena, has been heavily promoting the movie, appearing on Zoom on “Good Morning America” on Tuesday and also attending a red carpet premiere in London on June 29.
The new arrival will be Johansson’s second child. She previously welcomed daughter Rose, now 6, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
We wouldn’t be surprised of this sudden pregnancy news leak is to help overshadow the bad ‘Black Widow’ reviews all over the internet.
