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 the publication: “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 rumours 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 on Friday — attended by her co-star David Harbour and followed by a party at actress 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.

Johansson and the Saturday Night Live star, 39, quietly tied the knot in October 2020 after three years of dating. This will be his first child.

The two Js met on the set of SNL in 2006 but weren’t romantically linked until May 2017, when they were spotted kissing at an afterparty for the NBC stalwart, a few months after Johansson filed for divorce from Dauriac. The duo made their relationship public in December 2017 before announcing their engagement in May 2019, and the Lucy star called Jost “the love of my life” while appearing on SNL in December 2019.

“I’ve met someone I love. And who I feel more comfortable with than I ever have before,” Jost subsequently wrote of Johansson in his 2020 memoir, A Very Punchable Face.

Jost already seems ready for fatherhood, as he was spotted carrying his stepdaughter out in New York in April after a family dinner with Johansson.

A rep for Johansson was unavailable for comment.
