During an appearance on the “Table for Two” podcast hosted by Bruce bzy, Jost expressed his delight at Cosmo’s natural affinity for water. “He’s a pretty good swimmer actually, like he’s almost independent swimming, which is kind of crazy,” Jost remarked. It seems that little Cosmo might be following in his grandfather’s footsteps, showcasing early signs of being a swimming prodigy.

Jost went on to share his love for swimming with his son, recounting their frequent trips to the pool or the ocean. At just two years old, Cosmo already displays a remarkable level of comfort and skill in the water, much to his father’s amazement.

Scarlett Johansson, Cosmo’s mother, also chimed in with her observations of their son’s development. She marveled at Cosmo’s advanced vocabulary, recounting a moment when he accurately described his wet clothing. Johansson’s admiration for her son’s linguistic abilities highlights the joy and wonder of parenting.

The couple’s journey into parenthood began in 2020 when they welcomed Cosmo into their lives. Named after the charming celestial body, Cosmo brought an additional layer of joy and sweetness to their family. Scarlett Johansson shared the endearing story behind their son’s name on “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” revealing that both she and her daughter, Rose, fell in love with the name for its association with a sweet flower.

Rose, Scarlett’s nine-year-old daughter from her previous marriage, has embraced her role as a big sister to Cosmo. Scarlett fondly describes Rose as being supportive and affectionate towards her younger sibling, adding to the warmth and happiness within their family dynamic.
