Actor Scarlett Johansson has tied the knot with comedian Colin Jost in a private ceremony. The news was confirmed on Instagram by the charity Meals on Wheels. The newly-wed couple supports the group's initiative to aid the elderly during the Covid pandemic.

"We're thrilled to break the news that Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost were married over the weekend in an intimate ceremony with their immediate family and loved ones, following COVID-19 safety precautions as directed by the CDC," read the post.

"Their wedding wish is to help make a difference for vulnerable older adults during this difficult time by supporting Meals on Wheels America. Please consider donating to celebrate the happy couple by clicking the link," it added.

Johansson got engaged to Jost, a co-head writer at Saturday Night Live, in May 2019 after dating him for two years. Jost had spoken about the couple's wedding plans in July, adding that they had to re-assess their plans owing to the pandemic. "We don't even know what's legally allowed. This is not the time to get all your elderly, at-risk relatives together all in one big group... who knows!" Jost had said.

Johansson is currently awaiting the release of her standalone superhero film, Black Widow, which got postponed owing to the pandemic.
