Wedding bells are on the horizon for Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost as the couple are now engaged, the actor’s representative confirmed to The Associated Press on Sunday.

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.
