Scarlett Johansson recently explained why she and her husband, Colin Jost, didn’t immediately reveal their son Cosmo’s name. They decided to keep it private to protect him from potential criticism or negative responses after he was born in 2021.
Scarlett Johansson shared that she didn’t want to deal with people’s reactions when she revealed her baby’s name. She told Jenna Bush Hager on Today that she dislikes the awkward facial expressions some people make when hearing news they don’t quite understand or agree with. While pregnant, she and her family decided to keep the name private to avoid unwanted opinions.
Scarlett Johansson was happy her mother, Melanie Sloan, loved the name they chose for their son. “My mom really loved it, which was a huge relief,” she explained. “She told me her third grade crush was named Cosmo, so it had a special meaning for her.” Colin Jost’s mother wasn’t immediately convinced. Johansson remembered, “After a few days, she said ‘Cosimo is a name I could get on board with,’ and I told her, ‘We’re not changing it to fit that – this is what we’ve decided.'”
Married since 2020, Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost often share funny moments about being parents. When they were on the Jenna & Friends show, they playfully debated who is the better storyteller at bedtime. Jost said he simply lets the stories speak for themselves, but Johansson claimed their kids clearly prefer her way of telling them.
Scarlett Johansson is already a mother to a daughter, Rose, age 11, from her previous marriage to Romain Dauriac. She’s often talked publicly about her life, including past relationships with actors like Ryan Reynolds and Josh Hartnett, and has shared what she’s learned about love and building a family.
Scarlett Johansson’s choice to not publicly reveal her son’s name shows how much pressure celebrities feel when it comes to their private lives. It’s clear that she and her husband prioritize shielding their child from public scrutiny and unwanted opinions.
