The Saturday Night Live comedian, 39, confirmed the news via Instagram on Thursday — and joked that people can reach out to SNL costar Michael Che for more.

"Ok ok we had a baby. His name is Cosmo. We love him very much," Jost wrote. "Privacy would be greatly appreciated. For all inquires please contact our publicist @chethinks."

He also added the hashtags: "#wegotawaywithitforalongtime" "#nokidspolicy" and "#weregoingtodisneyworld."

The news comes just days after Jost confirmed the pair were expecting, announcing the happy news during a stand-up gig in Connecticut over the weekend.

"We're having a baby, it's exciting," he said on stage, according to Page Six.

This is Jost's first child. Johansson is also mum to daughter Rose, six, from her previous marriage to Frenchman Romain Dauriac.

The Sing 2 actress and Jost tied the knot in an intimate ceremony back in October 2020 in Palisades, New York. The pair got engaged in May 2019 after two years of dating.

"It was surprising — he's got a lot behind that news desk he's hiding," she joked to Ellen Degeneres of Jost's proposal. "He's very charming and very thoughtful and romantic. But yeah, I was surprised. Even if you kind of imagine what that moment's gonna be like, it's still a beautiful moment."

The couple also made headlines ahead of their big day after their Save The Date cards circulated online. The "invitation" was just a plain index card with a handwritten message reading: "Scarlett and Colin are getting married!" along with a note explaining, "We're trying to save money for the wedding."
