NEW YORK (AP) 鈥� After Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson tied the knot in an intimate ceremony last fall, the couple found a heartfelt way to tell the world they were 鈥淛ost married.鈥�
Rather than break the news through their representatives or giving it to one media outlet, the news was announced on social media by the food charity Meals on Wheels America, giving it worldwide attention during the pandemic.
鈥淪carlett wanted to figure out a way of doing something that had another kind of meaning or could potentially help in some way,鈥� Jost recently told The Associated Press while promoting his latest film, 鈥淭om and Jerry.鈥�

The co-anchor of the 鈥淲eekend Update鈥� segment at 鈥淪aturday Night Live鈥� says the couple wanted to make a difference with their happy news.
鈥淲e talked about places that we would love to help, and Meals on Wheels was at the top of our list, just getting very basic food to people that need it seems like the most basic way to help,鈥� he said.
In his latest film, a new version of “Tom and Jerry鈥� that combines animation with live action, Jost plays a groom in an elaborate high-profile wedding at a ritzy hotel.
Filmed before his own nuptials, Jost picked up a little something from the experience.
鈥淢y character obviously is going overboard in an attempt to both please his bride and impress her father,鈥� Jost said. 鈥淟earning about communication and trying to anticipate what your partner wants or needs in different moments I think is the most important lesson I learned.鈥�
Johansson and Jost got engaged in 2019 after dating for two years and were married last October in a private ceremony for close friends and family.
