Johansson and the Saturday Night Live (SNL) veteran have been together for two years.
Rumours about their fledgling romance began in March 2017 after the Lost In Translation star made a guest appearance on the season finale of SNL.
But the couple confirmed their romance at the Avengers: Infinity War premiere last year, which marked their red carpet debut and prompted a frenzy among Johansson’s loyal fan base.
Johansson, 34, has been married twice before, to Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds and journalist Romain Daruaic, with whom she has a four-year-old daughter, Rose Dorothy Dauriac.
Jost, 36, has never been married. He co-hosts SNL’s "Weekend Update" sketch programme with Michael Che.
Johansson's publicist, Marcel Pariseau, said that a date has not yet been set for the wedding.
Fans have been quick to congratulate the couple on social media, with several teasing that their “wedding hashtag is gonna be #JostMarried.” It would certainly be fitting.
