Truth About Scarlett Johansson's 'Diva Ways' Stopping Colin Jost From Proposing

Scarlett Johansson was not strongly pushing Colin Jost to tie the knot, despite rumors. Gossip Cop debunked rumors stating Johansson’s supposed “diva ways” were stopping the “Weekend Update” co-anchor from proposing to her.

According to In Touch, Johansson wanted to “lock Colin down as soon as possible.” The magazine began its report by stating, “With her long white gown and his formal tux, lovebirds Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost looked like a bride and groom as they walked the red carpet.” This is in reference to how the two dressed up at the 70th annual Emmy Awards two weeks ago.

The magazine quoted a source saying, “He’s in love with Scarlett, but she’s not the easiest person to be with. She’s really needy and demanding, and when she’s in a relationship, she wants to be completely worshipped.”

“Her behavior is bound to wear thin. So when it comes to Colin taking the plunge, I wouldn’t hold my breath,” the source continued.

However, a mutual friend of the couple told Gossip Cop the report was “not true.”

The Avengers star has opened up several times about the difficulties of marriage and monogamy.

“I think the idea of marriage is very romantic; it’s a beautiful idea, and the practice of it can be a very beautiful thing. I don’t think it’s natural to be a monogamous person. I might be skewered for that, but I think it’s work. It’s a lot of work,” she said in the March/April 2017 issue of Playboy magazine.

“And the fact that it is such work for so many people — for everyone — the fact of that proves that it is not a natural thing. It’s something I have a lot of respect for and have participated in, but I think it definitely goes against some instinct to look beyond,” she added.

“Being married is different than not being married, and anybody who tells you that it’s the same is lying. It changes things. I have friends who were together for 10 years and then decided to get married, and I’ll ask them on their wedding day or right after if it’s different, and it always is. It is. It’s a beautiful responsibility, but it’s a responsibility.”

The actress was previously married to Ryan Reynolds and Roman Dauriac, with whom she shares a 3-year-old daughter.

Johansson and Jost made their first public appearance together at the 2017 Museum Gala at American Museum of Natural History, New York. Engagement rumors sparked in March after she showed up at Saturday Night Live after party wearing a diamond ring. However, the engagement has not been confirmed yet.

At last year’s Emmy Awards, he opened up about his relationship with Johansson saying, “I’m very happy. I feel very lucky. She’s pretty cool … it’s hard to have a lot of complaints, she’s pretty awesome,” People reported.
