Scarlett Johanssonmay be theBlack Widowon the big screen, but she’s just a mom at home.

TheAvengersstar has two kids: daughterRose Dorothywith ex-husbandRomain Dauriac, and sonCosmowith her husbandColin Jost.

“Thankfully [to] everybody just at home,I’m just mom,” Johansson told PEOPLE in November 2021. However, there is one exception: “Sometimes [I’m] the Black Widow when it’s convenient for my daughter, when she’s going to get something out of it.”

While Johansson refrains from sharing photos of her young children, she often opens up about her life at home in interviews. The actress has spoken candidly about the highs and lows of parenting, even joking that raising a toddler was like “being in an emotionally abusive relationship.”

“It’s really tough,” she said during a 2023 appearance onThe Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast. “I remember my daughter when she was 2, I said, ‘This is great. I don’t know what everybody is talking about.’ And then she turned 3, and it’s like being in an emotionally abusive relationship.”

From the sweet connection between her kids' names to the anecdotes the actress has shared about her family, here’s everything to know about Scarlett Johansson’s two children, Rose and Cosmo.

Johansson and herthen-husband Dauriacwelcomed daughterRose Dorothyon Aug. 30, 2014, in New York City. Rose was named after Johansson’s grandmother, whom the actress has called “the first Francophone in my family,” and for theseasonshe was born in, when roses are in full bloom.

During a 2018 appearance onThe Ellen DeGeneres Show, Johansson gave some insight into her daughter’s budding personality. “She’s a very sweet girl,” she told hostEllen DeGeneres. “She’s very, very, very, girly. Like painfully girly.”

Rose seemingly loves to spend time with her mom. “She shadows me, like, all the time, which is wonderful,” Johansson said on a 2021 appearance onTheKelly Clarkson Show. “But there’s definitely times where she’s on the other side of the bathroom door, and I’m like, ‘Rose, you gotta give me a minute! Everybody needs their time.’ "

Now 10, Rose is starting to get to the age where she finds her parents to be a"little” embarrassing. “I do a little dance when the school bus pulls up, and she doesn’t like that,” Johansson confessed toJimmy Fallonin 2021.“Of course, then I exaggerate it even further,” she joked.

While Rose loves to tell people that her “Mommy’s a superhero,” she has yet to watch Johansson’s Marvel films.

“She likes that I play Black Widow, but she’stoo scared to watch an Avengers movie,” the actress told PEOPLE in July 2024. “She’s just like, ‘It’s violent.’ I’m like, ‘Oh God.' "

A year after Cosmo was born, Johansson shared thespecial connection between her children’s monikers. “They are both flowers,” the actress said. “Not a lot of people make that connection. Cosmo is a really sweet little flower that comes in different shades of orange and yellow.”

Aside from spending time on set,Cosmo has taken up swimming. “He’s only 2 and he’s a pretty good swimmer actually, like he’s almost independent swimming, which is kinda crazy,” Jost said of his son in April 2024. “He’s a smart guy, too, such a fun kid.”
