Back in May, we heard a few stories about Scarlett Johansson rejoining the dating pool following her split from (now estranged) husband Romain Dauriac. Her new makeout buddy seemed to be Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost. It was said that Kate McKinnon set them up and Kate was actively trying to make them happen. It was all very cute. Except that not even one month later, ScarJo was seen out on a date with her 51-year-old entertainment lawyer, Kevin Yorn. People Mag even ran a story about how York and ScarJo were for-real dating now and she was very happy. And now… well, it looks like ScarJo is dating both guys.
Keeping up with Scarlett Johansson’s post-divorce love life is a full-time occupation. First, she was making out with “Saturday Night Live’s” Colin Jost, then she was spotted holding hands with her lawyer Kevin Yorn — and now she’s back to Jost. Page Six has learned that Johansson and the “Weekend Update” co-host, who turned 35 on Thursday, were spotted at the Palm at the Huntting Inn in East Hampton, NY, the next evening, “looking cozy on a love seat,” says a spy.
Johansson, 32, who filed for divorce from Romain Dauriac earlier this year, appeared on the NBC show last season as a host. After being a special guest on May’s season finale, she was spotted getting hot and heavy with Jost at the after-party. “They would make out a bit, then go back to talking,” one source told Page Six at the time. “Scarlett and Colin were flirting and canoodling in full view of everyone at the after-party,” another added.
The pair were also seen “holding hands and having drinks” at Upper East Side restaurant the East Pole in June. But while Jost was in France two weeks ago for a Cannes Lions event for truTV, Johansson was photographed holding hands with her lawyer Yorn and dining with him at Upper East Side eatery Scalinatella. But it seems like Johansson and Jost are back on. “They seemed very into each other,” says our witness at the Palm.
Jost, who also wrote and starred in the movie “Staten Island Summer,” owns property in Montauk, having purchased a 2,600 square-foot house in Hither Woods for $2.15 million in 2015. The trip out east isn’t just for fun. While “SNL” is off, Jost has been playing stand-up shows, taking the stage on Saturday at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor. Johansson, who has a daughter from her marriage to Dauriac, has been busy promoting her new movie “Rough Night,” which also stars Jost’s “SNL” co-star Kate McKinnon. Reps didn’t get back to us.
First question: how in the world is Colin Jost making enough money to afford a $2.15 million house in the Hamptons? While the salaries for SNL cast members have improved a lot in the past decade, it’s not a huge financial windfall. Maybe you’d make enough to afford a decent sized apartment in Manhattan. But a house in the Hamptons? What the hell?
As for ScarJo and Colin Jost and Kevin Yorn… lordy, I hope this is not the love triangle of the summer, because how disappointing. I feel like quoting/paraphrasing Amber Rose right here: Scarlett doesn’t have to let her p-ssy rest. She can date two guys at once. And obviously, they’re fine with it. It’s not like Scarlett is being all shady about it and no one knows what’s happening. She’s being quite public about it, which says to me that both men are fine with it. It’s ScarJo’s summer fling season.

Honestly? You go, girl! Get yours. I still mantain Leslie Jones will forever be Colin’s One True Love, but that’s just me.
Could it be his family’s house?
I was thinking that too, but it says he purchased it in 2015, so maybe he has family money/old money as well.
He’s not only a performer, but he’s also Head Writer, which could bring in bucks, esp. when they factor in reruns.
But is it “dating” if it’s casual and all parties are fine with it being non-exclusive? I don’t think she’s planning on settling down with either guy, so it’s probably more like friendly hookups with two guys rather than dating two guys at once.
I find her problematic and annoying, but get yours, girl.
Exactly. “Dating” is over used. “Hanging out with two guys” may be better phrasing. I love this. She’s just out of a marriage, this is exactly what she should be doing.
I’m with you Cleo. IIRC just after her divorce announcement she said she wasn’t really into monogamy. She’s honest and doing her thing.
That’s how I feel too. I think she’s annoying and a totally overrated actress. But I am absolutely not going to criticize her for hanging out with/sleeping with a few people.
I cannot get past her fondness for woody Allen. Anything else she does after bragging about wearing his glasses is nails on a chalk board. Blech.
It’s messy if you are not divorced and have a kid. Things seem fine with the ex but it could be an issue in child court if the ex becomes dissatisfied.
Colin Jost is totes adorbs. I’d be gettin me some of that for sure.
The problem is nowadays people confuse the dating/talking stage with being in a relationship. There is nothing wrong with what she’s doing she just got out of a marriage she’s having fun.
I did this in college. Both guys knew about the other. The 1st said he didn’t want to get too serious so I got the 2nd. It was a mess behind the scenes. While on a date with 1 I crossed paths with the other. Ugh… eventually, someone gets tired, feels 2nd place, or a sense of competition/jealousy is sparked.
But, she’s an adult. They’re adults. Meh.
It’s the love triangle of the summ…Zzzzzzzzzzzzz….sorry, I dozed off there. For a supposed bombshell she really is quite dull isn’t she? Well she’s had a dreadful year professionally and personally so I guess a little fun is in order.
Where’s the kid at this point? Did she and the ex reach an agreement? With everything so quiet after that initial blow up….Damn she must have had to pay out some SERIOUS cash.
LOL :))
+ 1 million. Especially about the ex.
👍🙆
One of the guys is her lawyer. Probably not the best judgement call when it comes to casually dating.
She can and should date whomever she likes. She should rethink her hair, though, lol.
her hair game is THE worst.
I want to love it but her taste in men is so tragic. This could have been great but I feel very let down.
Completely agree with you.
Get it, girl. Men do this all the time so why not? From the super grainy photos, the older guy looks really hot.
Go, girl! Especially with Jost.
Now, your hair….so tragic.
ALWAYS
Get it, Scarjo. Neither of those is my cup of tea but she’s an adult woman who isn’t in any committed relationship right now, let her have her summer flings.
She can do what she wants sure but I wouldn’t celebrate it. She has a kid, is still technically married as far as I know, and is allegedly “dating” her attorney. Not the smartest course of action. And quoting Amber Rose, ummmm, really? I do not see her making the best life choices either.
okay…Ms Judgey McJudgerson.
It’s a gossip site. We judge here.
okay Anon33, I guess I’m judging the judger then. Is that cool?
Kelly and others can judge women for making choices people with more conservative beliefs disapprove of, and we can judge her and others for sexist micro-aggresions (such as this comment about Amber Rose).
Fair enough? 🙂
@Kelly: Haven’t Scarlett and her husband already filed for divorce? Why on earth does she still owe it to him to keep her pussy untouched?
@Otaku Fairy but she has a kid! How dare she date casually? Tsk tsk.
Why would you say Amber Rose doesn’t make good life choices?
She’s sure a hell of a lot richer than I, and shes politically active and smart and pretty.
yeah, I don’t understand the random Amber Rose diss either.
Variety! The spice o life!
What? I love her hair! I’d get that cut if I had the right head shape.
Also, nothing wrong with hanging out with two guys. If she’s not into monogamy, good for her for knowing it and not living that way.
Not a huge fan of her acting work but she was spectacular in Her.
(Googles)
Jost’s mom is the chief medical examiner for the NYC fire department. His dad is an engineer. He went to Harvard. I’m guessing his SNL pay check is a bit of gravy…
what does one thing have to do with the other? (parents with a profession and going to Harvard have zero to do with whatever his SNL paycheck is)
Get it girl!
In what world does someone as mediocre as Jost end up with a beach house and dating Scarlett Johanson?
But is Scarlett even dating her lawyer? Yes they were seen holding hands once but sometimes I do that with a close male friend. It’s just a reflex for some reason. Besides if she is dating both, no need to slut shame. I don’t think it’s considered cheating when you just been dating for a few weeks.
