During her appearance on The Kelly Clarkson show, Scarlett Johansson disclosed the interesting name of her 13-month-old son, Cosmo. The child was born from her marriage to Colin Jost. In a light-hearted response, Johansson initially joked that they “just randomly picked letters and put them together” to create the name. However, she later revealed that they found the name endearing and their friends agreed. The star of Black Widow also mentioned the significance of Cosmo’s name in relation to his sister Rose’s name.
Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost exchanged their vows in a private wedding ceremony in October 2020. Their engagement was publicly announced back in May 2019, after two years of dating and featured an extravagant 11-carat diamond ring. In August 2021, they welcomed their newborn son, Cosmo, into their family. Johansson also has a daughter named Rose from her previous marriage with Romain Dauriac. The couple’s children share a floral connection in their names, with Rose and Cosmo both being inspired by flowers.
It has been revealed by People that choosing a name for Cosmo, Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost’s baby, was a bit chaotic but ultimately ended up being beautiful and matched his sister’s name. According to Johansson, it took some time for Jost’s mother to come around to the name Cosmo and she kept suggesting alternative options. However, Johansson stood firm in her choice as the baby was already born and she didn’t want to change his name.
Scarlett Johansson shared that her daughter, Rose Dorothy, gave her approval for her new baby’s name. During a chat with Kelly Clarkson, the two admired the fact that their children’s names were both linked to flowers. Johansson explained that not many people make the connection, but both Cosmo (her son’s name) and Rose are sweet flowers that come in various shades. Additionally, the actress described Cosmo as a pretty little flower that comes in orange and yellow.
According to Johansson, her friends approved of her decision to name her child Cosmo, finding it charming and refreshing. In a recent interview with People, the actress shared how her 13-month-old son is exploring new things like his own feet, which he likes to gaze at, tug on, and playfully nibble on. Johansson also revealed that her older daughter initially struggled with being a big sister, leading to some slightly awkward moments when Cosmo was born.
