'How was your day?'

As a comedy writer, Colin Jost occasionally retreats into his thoughts, displaying an introverted nature. Johansson, on the other hand, identifies as extroverted. Understanding these differences, Johansson shared, "I'm married to a writer, he's a comedy writer. He can get, like, very in his head sometimes, he's sort of introverted. I'm extroverted, and so I think the key for us is just always checking in, just asking at the end of the day, 'How was your day?'"

Their shared laughter, open communication, and genuine care for each other provide a shining example of a strong and resilient partnership.
