Despite their undeniable chemistry and penchant for publicly displaying their affection, the pair insists they are merely friends. In fact, Scarlett's husband, Colin Jost, seems unfazed by the viral moments shared between Jonathan and his wife. "Jonathan is an out gay man—it didn't strike me as a major threat," the Saturday Night Live star remarked in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on July 10th. "I think it's all going to be alright. People really blew it out of proportion. A friendly kiss on the cheek is always a nice gesture." The comedian even joked about joining in on the fun, adding, "Jonathan and I were on the red carpet thinking, 'I guess we have to kiss now? Will that wrap things up?'"

Scarlett had earlier shared her thoughts on her close relationship with Jonathan. "He's a loveable guy," she explained during her June 25th appearance on Today. "What can I say? We're just friendly people." Echoing her sentiment, Jonathan added that love transcends romantic attachments. "I believe in expressing love in various forms," he told Entertainment Tonight at the New York premiere on June 23rd. "And if you can't kiss your friends... life's too short not to."
