Turns out the acclaimed artists of Hollywood have been moving in the same circle since their high school days. Scarlett Johansson and Jack Antonoff’s 2002 yearbook photo just popped up online, and suddenly everyone’s talking about their high school days again! Christy Carlson Romano, best known from ‘Even Stevens’, shared a bunch of old photos, including this gem, while announcing her memoir. Turns out, she went to the Professional Children’s School in New York with both Johansson and Antonoff. And here’s the kicker: Scarlett and Jack weren’t just classmates; they actually dated back then.
Scarlett Johansson and Jack Antonoff: Throwback to their high school days
That yearbook photo shared by Christy Carlson Romano looks like a real time capsule. There’s Scarlett and Jack, both 41 now, standing together at the top of a staircase, with Christy grinning nearby. Romano threw in other photos too: one with Hilary Duff, some childhood snapshots, and the class portrait with Scarlett and Jack. Looking at it, it’s wild to think these three shared the same halls before any of them hit it big.Per People, Scarlett and Jack’s story goes back to the early 2000s when they started dating as teenagers. The yearbook photo brings everyone back to their 2002 prom: Scarlett in a simple white dress, Jack in a throwback suit. They looked like any other teens on prom night, but their futures were about to go in totally different directions. Not long after graduation, their relationship ended as Scarlett’s acting career started to skyrocket.Both Johansson and Antonoff became huge in their own worlds: Scarlett as one of Hollywood’s most recognizable faces, Jack as a Grammy-winning musician and producer working with the biggest names in pop. Funny enough, even with their shared past, they’ve never worked together professionally. No movies, no albums, nothing; just that old yearbook photo as proof they ever crossed paths.However, Jack once poured some of his feelings about the breakup into music. It’s widely speculated that his 2005 song “Better Love” is about Scarlett, especially with the line, “Hey Scarlett, you’re not the same.” It’s one of those little details that keep fans guessing and connecting the dots.At present, they’ve both moved on. On one hand, Scarlett is married to the Saturday Night Live (SNL) comedian Colin Jost, juggling acting and producing. On the other hand, Jack tied the knot with Margaret Qualley in 2023 and keeps shaping the sound of modern pop.

As for Romano, her Instagram post was more than just a nostalgia trip. She’s got a memoir coming out: ‘Once Upon a Trainwreck’ is set to hit shelves on October 6. Per People, she says writing it took two tough years, digging through the highs and lows of her time as a child star. “It’s risky. It’s honest. It’s the most empowered I’ve ever felt. And I’m proud to finally share it,” she wrote.
