]]>Johansson is known as someone who keeps her family out of the spotlight, especially when it comes to her children; 10-year-old daughter Rose and three-year-old son Cosmo. In a recent cover story interview with InStyle, Johansson explained that she is “definitely over-share” but not when it comes to her family.
“The anonymity of my children is very precious to me. I was talking to my daughter the other day, because she said, ‘Oh, I would love to make videos for The Outset,’” Johansson shared with the magazine. “She was like, ‘Why can’t I?’ And I said, ‘Well, other than the fact that you’re 10…’”
Johansson went on to share that being a public figure is fun, but that it also comes with a distinct burden that she doesn’t want her kids to carry until they are ready to make the choice for themselves.
“The reality of it is, there’s a massive loss to that, you know? So I think preserving that for as long as possible until it’s someone’s choice, that’s the choice I make as far as my kids go,” she added.
Johansson is currently married to Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost. The couple tied the knot in 2020 and welcomed Cosmo in 2021. Johansson shares Rose with ex-husband and French businessman Romain Dauria.

“You know what, no tears. Just lots of joy. You think you’re going to cry, and because you think you are going to do that, it doesn’t happen. I remember when I went to college and how wonderful it was, so, of course, I wanted that for them too, so no cries, no guilt,” she said during a recent appearance on Today.

]]>In a recent episode of her Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce podcast, Kelce identified five types of holiday gifts that people shouldn’t buy her kids. According to her, avoiding these gifts will help you avoid upsetting the parents of the kids you are buying gifts for.
The first on the list are toys that have an assembly time of more than five minutes. According to Kelce, these types of toys are time-consuming, and kids are often impatient to see them come together and might end up playing with small parts or even swallowing them while waiting.
Kelce also doesn’t want anything covered in glitter if the glitter isn’t fully sealed to the surface of an item.
“I can’t veto glitter as a whole, but I need you to get something that the glitter is sealed. I need it attached to that surface. I need it not leaving it,” she explained.
The third thing includes toys or items that have no volume control. She learned the drawbacks of these gifts when her son Wyatt received an electric drum set that didn’t feature volume control.
Next on the list is “living creatures.” According to Kelce, you will put parents in a really challenging spot because they might not have the time or space to care for it.
Finally, Kelce says you shouldn’t gift other people’s kids anything that comes with too many pieces. These pieces often get misplaced, and the kid could accidentally swallow one of them.
