The actress, who has navigated the intense media spotlight since childhood, has been very intentional about keeping her kids out of the public eye. However, details about her two children—a daughter and a son—have emerged over the years, revealing a fascinating look into the life of the woman behind the superhero suit, including the story behind her son's rather unusual name.

Meet Rose Dorothy Dauriac: Scarlett Johansson's First Child
Scarlett Johansson’s journey into motherhood began with the birth of her daughter, Rose Dorothy Dauriac, whom she shares with her second husband, French journalist and art consultant Romain Dauriac. Rose’s arrival marked a significant shift in the actress's highly public life.
The Birth and Current Age of Rose Dorothy
Rose Dorothy Dauriac was born on August 30, 2014. As of December 2025, Rose is 11 years old. Her first name, 'Rose,' is a classic, beautiful choice, but the middle name 'Dorothy' holds a special significance, as it is a tribute to Scarlett Johansson’s grandmother, a common and heartfelt tradition in many families.
The period following Rose's birth was intensely private. Johansson and Dauriac were fiercely protective of their daughter's privacy, successfully keeping her out of the public eye for years. Even after their divorce in 2017, the two parents have maintained a committed co-parenting relationship, focusing on Rose's well-being and ensuring her life remains as normal as possible away from the glare of celebrity.
Scarlett has occasionally offered rare insights into her life with Rose, describing her as an energetic and curious child. She has shared anecdotes about Rose's unique childhood experiences, such as the confusion of having a famous mother who fights aliens on screen, and the challenges of explaining her job as an actress. The actress has also mentioned that she is starting to give her daughter more responsibility and independence as she enters her pre-teen years.
Cosmo Jost: The Second Child with Colin Jost
The world was surprised in August 2021 when Colin Jost confirmed the birth of their first child together, a son, on social media. The news was kept under wraps for the duration of the pregnancy, a testament to the couple’s commitment to privacy.
The Story Behind the Name 'Cosmo'
Scarlett and Colin named their son Cosmo. The unique and celestial name immediately became a topic of discussion. Cosmo Jost was born in August 2021, making him 4 years old as of December 2025.
The actress later revealed the story behind the name, explaining that it was a collaborative effort. 'Cosmo' is derived from the Greek word 'kosmos,' meaning 'order' or 'beauty,' and is also a nod to the cosmos, the universe itself. However, the name wasn't universally loved at first. Johansson humorously shared that her family, specifically her mother-in-law, was initially skeptical of the name choice, preferring the slightly more traditional 'Cosimo.'
Colin Jost, a writer and 'Weekend Update' anchor on SNL, has also spoken about the joys of fatherhood, often weaving humorous anecdotes about his son into his comedy. The couple's dynamic—an A-list movie star and a celebrated comedian—adds a layer of intriguing normalcy to their family life, despite their fame.
Navigating Parenthood and Privacy in the Public Eye
The choice to shield both Rose and Cosmo from the intense scrutiny of the public eye is a deliberate one for Scarlett Johansson. She has consistently voiced her desire for her children to have a normal upbringing, free from the constant paparazzi and media attention that follows her career. This dedication to privacy is a key element of her approach to motherhood.
The actress has spoken openly about the challenges of co-parenting Rose with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac and the different experience of raising a young son with Colin Jost. Her life is a constant juggling act of filming major motion pictures, running her skincare brand, and being present for her children. She has emphasized the importance of setting boundaries, particularly regarding technology and social media, to protect her children's innocence and well-being in the modern age.
In a world where celebrity children often grow up in the spotlight, Scarlett Johansson remains a strong advocate for their right to anonymity. Her family life with Rose and Cosmo is characterized by a commitment to stability and normalcy, proving that even a global superstar can prioritize a quiet, meaningful home life over the demands of fame. Her two children, Rose Dorothy and Cosmo, are the center of her world, and their unique names and private lives continue to fascinate fans globally. The latest updates confirm that the family is thriving, with both children growing up fast, a testament to the actress's successful balance of career and family in 2025.
