Their first meeting…over a decade ago
As it turns out, Johansson and Jost go way back!
In 2017, theSNLwriter opened up about how the pair — who had not yet confirmed that they were dating—first met.
“The first time she hosted was the first year I was a writer on the show,” Jost revealed. “So, we’ve kind of known each other since then … she’s the best.”
Johansson’s first time hosting the comedy program was in 2006. She went on to host the show four additional times.

Although the couple had known each other for years, they didn’t become romantically linked until May, 2017 when the actress made a special guest appearance on the comedy program’s 2017 finale.
Jost declined to comment on the relationship rumors at the time, telling PEOPLE that he didn’t really listen to talk about his private life: “I don’t really pay attention to it, I just kinda keep doing my life as much as I can. It’s nice to have some time off now and just get to relax.”
Just a month earlier, Johansson had filed for her divorce from Dauriac.
