Scarlett Johansson's daughter is growing up to be the best big sister her younger half-brother Cosmo could ask for.

The Fly Me To the Moon actress first became a mom when she welcomed daughter Rose, who just turned ten last month, with former journalist turned art curator Romain Dauriac, her husband from 2014 to 2017.

Following her 2020 marriage to Colin Jost, the couple welcomed son Cosmo, who just turned three, and his dad has just given a sweet update about how the siblings are getting along.

Speaking with E! News, Colin, who is premiering the milestone 50th season of Saturday Night Live later this month, first remarked: "I cannot believe I have a three-year-old."

Though both him and Scarlett have always kept their children out of the spotlight, he did give some insight into his personality, and how he may be already taking after him. "He is funny. He's sort of shy sometimes, but he's a gregarious little guy. He's fun," he said.

As for his relationship with his older sister, Colin shared: "They get along," revealing:  "The two of them spent a lot of time together this summer which was nice for them."
