Congratulations are in order for one very elusive couple. According to the Associated Press, Avengers: Endgame star Scarlett Johansson and Saturday Night Live's Colin Jost are engaged after dating for two years. It will 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.
In the wake of this exciting news, it's worth wondering how these two crazy kids got together in the first place. Unlike some celebrity couples, ScarJo and Jost kept things fairly low-key, and out of the public eye — though they did make the occasional exception and stepped out together during some of their bigger Hollywood moments. Here's the timeline on how Johansson and the Weekend Update host went from casual to soon-to-be husband and wife.

Rumours Swirl That Jost & Johansson Are Dating In May 2017

Johansson filed for divorce from Dauriac in March of 2017, and in May, rumours that Jost and Johansson were making out behind the scenes at Saturday Night Live hit Page Six.
"Scarlett and Colin were making out at the bar at the SNL season finale party at 30 Rock…They would make out a bit, then go back to talking," one source told the outlet. "They were at the bar in front of everyone…they made out at least twice…Then, they went back to talking and hang out with other people."
E! News also shared that the two had been hanging out for a while before the SNL bash, and were not "exclusive" yet, but having fun together. In June, Jost does not confirm nor deny the relationship to paparazzi, just says he's "very happy."
