Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson Spark Buzz with Playful Red Carpet Kiss

You know, I have to talk about this moment that absolutely lit up the red carpet and got everyone talking—Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson’s cheeky little smooch at the New York premiere of Jurassic World Rebirth . Yep, it happened again. Just a week after sharing a friendly kiss in London, the co-stars leaned in for another peck, this time right in front of Scarlett’s husband, Saturday Night Live star Colin Jost.

Now before you jump to conclusions—no, this isn’t some unexpected Hollywood love triangle. In fact, it's a sweet example of two actors who genuinely adore and support each other. Jonathan Bailey, who we all know from Bridgerton and now co-leading Jurassic World Rebirth , is openly gay and happily taken. Scarlett, of course, has been married to Colin since 2020, and they looked just as affectionate on the carpet, holding hands and sharing smiles throughout the evening.

When asked about the kiss, Bailey gave a wonderfully candid and heartfelt response. He said, “I believe in being able to show love in all different ways. And if you can’t kiss your friends… life’s too short not to.” That right there? That’s the vibe we all need more of. Genuine friendship, warmth, and the kind of joy that isn’t afraid to show affection platonically.

And let’s not forget, both of them were serving looks. Scarlett stunned in a corseted ivory gown with delicate floral appliques that formed a beautiful mermaid silhouette. Bailey opted for a casual, chic look with a white scoop-neck tee, gray cardigan, and stylish trousers, topped off with bold geometric sunglasses. They looked every bit the radiant, dynamic duo—on and off screen.

This public display of affection might be raising eyebrows for some, but for others, it’s refreshing to see this kind of openness and support. Especially when you remember how far we've come in terms of representation. Bailey recently opened up about the pressures he felt as an openly gay actor taking on a major blockbuster role. “There’s the weight of history,” he said, talking about how actors like him once weren’t allowed to play straight roles, or sometimes any roles. But times have changed, and he’s not just stepping up—he’s shining.

And speaking of shining, Jurassic World Rebirth looks like it’s going to be an adrenaline-pumping adventure. Scarlett plays Zora, a covert ops expert leading a mission to recover dinosaur DNA, and Jonathan’s character is right there beside her. Add some rogue aquatic dinos, a stranded family, and a massive hidden secret? Yeah, this is going to be big.

So whether you're here for the prehistoric action or the modern red carpet magic, one thing’s clear—Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson are bringing more than just star power to the screen. They’re bringing heart, authenticity, and a little bit of harmless fun. Life’s too short not to love it.
