In August 2021, Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost joyfully welcomed their first child together—a baby boy named Cosmo. The couple, who married in October 2020, shared the news with fans in their signature low-key style. Jost confirmed the birth on Instagram, writing, “Ok, ok, we had a baby. His name is Cosmo. We love him very much
The name “Cosmo” sparked curiosity and amusement among fans and family alike. In a lighthearted appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Jost recounted his mother’s initial reaction, noting she was “slightly thrown” by the unconventional choice. She even suggested alternatives like “Cosimo” or referencing “Saint Cosmos,” hoping for a more traditional name. Eventually, she embraced the unique moniker after meeting others named Cosmo.
Johansson later shared the inspiration behind their son’s name during an interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show. She revealed that both her children have floral names—her daughter is named Rose, and Cosmo is also a flower known for its vibrant colors. The actress described the name as “charming” and appreciated that their friends and even her daughter approved of it.
Since Cosmo’s arrival, the couple has been relishing their new roles as parents. A source close to them shared that they are “madly in love with the baby” and are soaking in the joys of parenthood together.
