While some celebrities don’t mind giving the public an insight into their family life, others prefer to take a more private approach. The Avengers star Scarlett Johansson definitely fits into the second category.
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.
