SNL Stars' Avengers Romance and Devoted Wives Revealed

As of October 2025, the cast members of Saturday Night Live's season 51 have found fulfillment in their personal lives beyond the comedy stage. "Weekend Update" anchor Colin Jost, in particular, has credited his relationship with Avengers star Scarlett Johansson for giving him a newfound sense of confidence and direction.

In his memoir published in June 2020, Jost wrote about how Johansson's presence in his life has changed him, from his self-assuredness to his future aspirations. "I've met someone I love and who I feel more comfortable with than I ever have before," he penned. "I feel more confident committing to what I'm working on and standing by whatever I create, regardless of whether people like it or not."

Another SNL cast member, James Austin Johnson, also has a strong support system in his wife, Rebekah Lain. In an Instagram post from October 2021, Johnson described Lain as the "person who makes my life worth living," praising her "best heart" and "rock solid" presence as his partner and wife.

These heartwarming personal connections among the SNL cast members demonstrate that their lives extend beyond the stage, with meaningful relationships providing them with a sense of grounding and security.
