The couple were spotted passionately locking lips during a night out in New York last week, before celebrating Scarlett’s 33rd birthday together.
‘She would go dates with Colin and be very excited after,’ another source revealed. ‘It took awhile for them to be exclusive, but they are now. Scarlett is very happy with Colin.’
Another insider added: ‘Scarlett likes to be in love and has not changed a bit in that area, Colin is good for her because she likes smart men, especially writer types. She is a very bright girl and always searching for that perfect match.’
Rumors of their romance took flight after last year’s season finale of Saturday Night Live, on which Colin, 35, is the head writer.

Scarlett finalized her second divorce from French ad man Romain Dauriac in September.
They married in Philipsburg, Montana, in 2014 and separated last year, continuing to raise their daughter Rose, three, together.
Before Romain, Scarlett was married to actor Ryan Reynolds from 2008 until 2011.
The heartthrob has since gone on to marry actress Blake Lively and have two children with her.
‘Being a parent is good for Scarlett,’ the insider added. ‘She is now super busy with [motherhood] and her work. Now Colin fits into her world.’

According to one of Jost’s friends, the SNL star was ‘always attracted to [Johansson] every time she came around the show’ but he’s not affected by the extra attention because of the relationship.
‘Colin is very smart, down to earth, witty, thoughtful. He’s hardworking and really dedicated,’ he said. ‘He’s just a nice, normal average guy. He probably was like, “How did this happen?”‘
Scarlett and Colin are just one couple in a string of new, high-profile SNL relationship.
Producer Lindsay Shookus, 37, went public with her romance with actor Ben Affleck, 45, this summer.
Emma Stone, 29, has been dating SNL writer and director Dave McCary, 32, since the start of the summer.
