Make Page Six a Preferred Source Scarlett Johansson confirmed she calls the shots in her marriage to Colin Jost.
“I consider myself the CEO of our household,” the Marvel star said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times published Wednesday.
Johansson also gave insight into her role as a mom of two.
“I’m a hands-on parent. I love being a mom,” she told the outlet, adding, “Kids have so much going on and their lives are important.”
Johansson shares 5-year-old son Cosmo with the “Saturday Night Live” comedian, whom she’s been married to since Oct. 2020. The Oscar nominee is also mom to daughter Rose, 12, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
During the LA Times interview, Johansson revealed she and Jost, 44, coordinate their busy schedules to keep her kids’ lives as normal as possible.
The Tony Award winner also admitted that she’d love to return to Broadway, but finds it too difficult to do theater while raising young kids.
Johansson, who has been famous since she was a teenager, previously shared why she prefers to keep her children out of the public eye.
“I am a private person in the sense that I value my close friendships,” she told InStyle last year, noting that her “family is very precious to [her], as is their privacy. The anonymity of my children is very precious to me.”

The “Black Widow” star also admitted she doesn’t want her kids to carry the weight of fame until they are ready to make that choice for themselves.
“I think preserving that for as long as possible until it’s someone’s choice, that’s the choice I make as far as my kids go,” she said.
Johansson has also been fairly private about her relationship with Jost, though she’s weighed in on him buying the Staten Island Ferry and joking about the actress on “SNL.”
The “Jurassic World” star also talked about the couple’s first date on “Today” last year, revealing she “panicked” when the comedian first asked her out.
“I was a serial monogamist, and I never got the sort of traditional like, ‘Hey, would you like to have dinner sometime?’” she shared.
Johansson said she ran out on Jost at the end of their dinner date, but eventually she gave him another chance, and their relationship blossomed.
