Kelly Ripa wants Scarlett Johansson to be a part of her inner circle.
The talk show host tried to set up the actress’ twin brother, Hunter Johansson, with one of her friends during Tuesday’s episode of “Live with Kelly and Mark.”
After Ripa asked Scarlett if she and Hunter have telepathy as “adult twins,” the actress replied, “We know so much about each other because, you know, we are in utero together, which, like, ‘I guess I’ve always had you around,’ but he’s also my brother. He’s just also a dude.”
She added, “Like, I feel if we were identical twins, we’d probably have more of that mind-body thing. But I look at him and I’m like, ‘You’re also a stinky dude.’ We don’t have as much of that.”
However, she went on to talk about how “great” her brother is — and available.
“We’re close. My brother, Hunter, he’s a gem,” she gushed. “He’s also single.”
That’s when Ripa jumped in and said she may have “found him somebody,” going on to talk about her friend who is “beautiful, accomplished, lovely, [has] dinner with her parents” and is a “kind person.”
“So we might be having Thanksgiving together? Perfect! I’ll see you next Thanksgiving, my new sister-in-law,” the “Black Widow” actress, 40, jokingly said in response.
Scarlett and Hunter are the youngest of four born to Karsten Johansson and Melanie Sloan. They have two older siblings — Adrian Johansson and Vanessa Johansson — plus an older half-brother, Christian Johansson, and a younger sister, Fenan Sloan.
During the same episode, Scarlett talked about turning 40 on Nov. 22, gushing that husband Colin Jost is “very good at gift-giving.”
“He threw me a humongous bash this year. It was a surprise and I had all the martinis for everyone and I can’t wait to see the photos so I can remember the night,” she said with a laugh.
“But it was a ‘this is your life’ moment. It was just incredible — so many of my colleagues and friends came from all over the place and it was just magical.”
The actress also gushed about how much of a “good guy” the “SNL” comedian is, adding, “He’s a kind person and he’s hilarious and thoughtful and loving and he’s a great dad and I love him. I feel very lucky but he’s also got his naughty side.”
The “Marriage Story” star then detailed Jost buying a decommissioned State Island Ferry boat in 2022.
Jost — along with Pete Davidson, architect and developer Ron Castellano and comedy club owner Paul Italia — bought the vessel with plans to convert it into a $34 million entertainment venue. However, that’s still up in the air.
Jost and Scarlett tied the knot in 2020 and welcomed a son in 2021. The actress also shares a 9-year-old daughter, Rose, with ex-husband Romain Dauriac.
