When the Avengers star returned to host in December 2019, she took the opportunity to lob some jokes at the A Very Punchable Face author. “The sixth time is even more exciting than the fifth because, you know, you’re not worried anymore. If the show is bad, what are they gonna do? Fire my fiancé?” she quipped at the time. “Oh, no, what will we do without his paycheck?”

Johansson then got sentimental about her typically private relationship with Jost. “This place means so much to me. I have so many friends here, and I met the love of my life here,” she gushed before kissing him.

The Oscar nominee, who shares 6-year-old daughter Rose with ex-husband Romain Dauriac, complimented the Saturday Night Live star’s romantic prowess in October 2019. “He killed it,” she said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show of his proposal. “He did, like, a whole James Bond situation. He’s got a lot behind that news desk. He’s very charming and very thoughtful and romantic.”
