Behind the bite: Is Jonathan Bailey the real threat to Scarlett Johansson’s marriage?

It seems like Jonathan may have stolen Scarlett Johansson’s heart, did he? Maybe yes, maybe not. Both are possible. But if it’s going to be like that, Jonathan will definitely take away the Romanoff from the Avengers under the nose of an SNL Alum who is the current husband of the actress.

A viral moment

Two weeks ago, the 37-year-old actor shared a funny yet intimate moment with his Jurassic World Rebirth co-star Scarlett Johansson, as depicted in a photo that Bailey and his LGBTQ+ charity, The Shameless Fund, posted on Instagram on Monday, Aug. 25.

In the photo, Bailey appears to bite Johansson's neck, while she looks at the camera with a sultry expression.

Before this, Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson shared a steamy PDA at the Jurassic World premiere twice.

At the London premiere on June 16, the couple was seen sharing a kiss, and just a week later, they did it again at the New York City premiere.

Reactions

At this moment, Scarlett's husband Collin Jost reacted smoothly when Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update co-anchor teased him and said, "I guess in Jurassic Park terms, the attack always comes from the raptor you never thought was there. Of all the threats out there, I wasn’t thinking it was Jonathan."

He replied in a witty way: "I think it’s going to be OK," he said. "Jonathan is an out gay man. It didn’t seem like the biggest threat."

The other side of the story

In a British Vogue interview released on December 12, Bailey revealed his sexuality, said he is gay, and discussed about the journey of exploring his sexuality in his early 20s.

The Wicked actor remembered being in a relationship with a girl for a few years, but at the same time, he also came out as gay to his family and a few close friends, according to the report.

So, is he really a threat?

Jonathan Bailey’s chemistry with Scarlett Johansson might look like cute and romantic, but the reality paints a more complex picture.

Yes, the photos and red-carpet moments feed the rumor mill, and yes, they’ve got fans buzzing about a possible off-screen connection.

But here’s the twist: Bailey is openly gay, and by his own admission, he’s not romantically involved with Johansson. That makes him, technically, “no threat” to her marriage. But according to his British Vogue interview, he admitted that he was in a relationship with a girl, which should not be taken lightly.

Still, the controversy lingers. Whether real or not, Jonathan Bailey has managed to do what few others could: steal the spotlight, the headlines, and maybe someone's wife.
