Johansson has been married to Saturday Night Live head writer and Weekend Update anchor Colin Jost since October of 2020.
While he wasn't able to attend the London premiere with his wife, he was by her side for the New York screening.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the comedian was asked what he thought about his wife's viral moments with her co-star, and of course he gave the most Colin Jost answer possible.
"I guess in Jurassic Park terms, the attack always comes from the raptor you never thought," he began.
"Of all the threats out there I wasn't thinking it was Jonathan."
Judging by Jost's answer, it seems that Johansson isn't the only one friendly with the Bridgerton star, as the comedian joked that he might now have to kiss Bailey to even the playing field.
"People really blow it out of proportion when someone kisses their friend hello," Jost laughed.
"Jonathan's an out gay man, it didn't seem like the biggest threat. Jonathan and I were like, 'I guess we have to kiss now? Is that what happens, close the loop?'"
Jost said although he knew his wife's role in the movie would bring a lot of media attention, there were some headlines he simply didn't see coming.
For example, fans online have had a field day with a billboard for the film in Times Square showing Johansson pointing a rifle, coincidentally, at a billboard of Jost.

"It's been a fun... a lot of Jurassic press things that you're like, you didn't expect this to be a story," he said.
"But, there's a lot of stories coming out of it."
