Scarlett Johansson is dedicated to safeguarding the privacy of her children for as long as possible. The actress, 40, recently shared in an interview with InStyle for their March cover story about her decision to keep her kids, Rose, 10, with ex Romain Dauriac, and Cosmo, 3, with husband Colin Jost, 42, away from the public eye.
Johansson acknowledged her tendency to share a lot about herself, especially her political activism, but emphasized that she values her close relationships and treasures her family’s privacy. She expressed how important it is to her to maintain the anonymity of her children, recounting a conversation with her daughter about creating videos for The Outset, indicating that she believes in preserving their privacy until they’re old enough to make their own choices.
While discussing her role as a public figure, Johansson highlighted the downside of constant recognition and celebration, noting the loss of privacy that comes with fame. She emphasized her commitment to protecting her children’s privacy until they can decide for themselves.
In a separate interview on Today with Jenna and Friends, Johansson shared a parenting moment where she explained the concept of “ghosting” to her daughter Rose, illustrating her approach to teaching important life lessons.
