The \"Saturday Night Live\" star, who was performing two sold-out shows at the Ridgefield Playhouse in Connecticut, told the audience on Saturday that he and Johansson were expecting, according to eyewitnesses.

\"Colin announced from the stage that he and Scarlett are expecting soon,\" one source told ABC Audio. \"The crowd was very excited -- everyone cheered and clapped.\"

Johansson, 36, and Jost, 39, confirmed their engagement in 2017 after two years of dating, and tied the knot in October 2020.
