Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost Pack on the PDA at Cannes Film Festival

Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost aren’t being shy about their love at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

Cameras caught the couple sharing a sweet kiss during the Eleanor the Great screening on Tuesday, May 20. The upcoming film marks Johansson’s directorial debut, and she took the stage in a black gown to speak before the movie.

“When you make a film that’s an independent film like this, no one’s doing it for the money — surprise, surprise,” Johansson, 40, said when introducing the project. “Really, everyone that came together for this film came together because they loved the story, the script so much. It’s a film about many things: it’s about friendship, it’s about grief, it’s about forgiveness. And I think those are all themes that we can use a lot more of these days.”

Starring June Squibb, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Erin Kellyman, the movie follows a 94-year-old woman living in Florida who starts an unlikely friendship with a 19-year-old student in New York City. The film received a five-minute standing ovation after its debut on Tuesday.

Yes, Colin Jost Knows He’s ‘Second Gentleman’ to Scarlett Johansson

Johansson and Jost, 42, jetted off to France for the film festival following their respective appearances on the Saturday Night Live season 50 finale on Saturday, May 17. The couple made headlines following the live show after Jost offered his wife a bouquet of flowers while she was saying goodnight to the crowd.

Before she started speaking, Jost walked out with the red roses and gave Johansson a big kiss. He swiftly walked off stage and let her finish up the show.

Johansson and Jost first sparked romance rumors in May 2017, when they were spotted kissing in a NYC bar. The following year, Jost confirmed that she was his girlfriend during SNL’s “Weekend Update” segment.

“He’s a good guy … He is a very, very, very great guy. I’m extremely lucky,” Johansson said of Jost during a November 2024 appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark. “He’s a kind person and he’s hilarious and thoughtful and loving and he’s a great dad and I love him. I feel very, very lucky. But he’s also, he’s got his naughty side. He keeps it interesting.”
