“We’re having a baby, it’s exciting,” he said, PageSix
quoted a source in the audience as said. This comes after the portal reported
in July that the Marvel star was pregnant and due soon.

Meanwhile, the Hollywood star has a 6-year-old daughter
named Rose from her previous marriage to Frenchman Romain Dauriac. In October
2020, she married comedian Colin Jost after three years of dating.

The rumours of her pregnancy began to spread like wildfire
after she skipped several of her Black Widow film promotions.

Speaking to PageSix, a source said, “She hasn’t been doing
many interviews or events to promote ‘Black Widow,’ which is surprising since
it is a huge Marvel/Disney release and she is both the star and an executive
producer.”

However, she chose to carry out the promotional appearances
via Zoom and appeared virtually on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on June
21, only shot from the shoulders up.

Meanwhile, Johansson is in an ugly legal battle with Disney,
alleging that her contract was breached when her Black Widow film was released
on Disney Plus. She said that her agreement with Disney-owned Marvel
Entertainment involved a guarantee that the film will exclusively be released
in theatres and her salary was based on the box-office performance of the
movie.

The suit stated “Disney intentionally induced Marvel’s
breach of the agreement, without justification, in order to prevent Ms.
Johansson from realizing the full benefit of her bargain with Marvel.”

However, Disney slammed back, calling her suit “distressing”.
