Scarlett Johansson is Expecting

Black Widow star Scarlett Johansson is pregnant, but her fans have been kept in the dark about her impending parenthood. In fact, a source says her due date is close. Johansson has been avoiding events promoting her new movie, which debuts this week, and she's apparently been keeping a low profile in general. Read on for details.

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 us: “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 rumors 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 — 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 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 that Hollywood hopes will revive the box office.
