Scarlett Johansson is one of the most photographed women in the world, and her daughter is one of the least. Rose Dorothy Dauriac has no social media, has never walked a red carpet, and appears in public only in the occasional long-lens photo of a school run. That is deliberate, and Scarlett has explained why more than once. Here is what is actually known about Rose, who turned 12 in August 2026, drawn from what her mother has said rather than what the tabloids have guessed.
Her parents
Rose was born on August 30, 2014, in New York. Her father is Romain Dauriac, a French journalist and former editor of an art magazine who later ran a creative agency. He and Scarlett had been together since 2012 and were engaged by 2013; they married quietly in Montana in October 2014, two months after Rose’s birth. Scarlett spoke warmly about him in interviews at the time, describing him as a gentleman and saying she loved his mind.
The divorce, and the rule about it
The couple separated in 2016, and in March 2017 Scarlett filed for divorce, citing an “irretrievably broken” marriage. There was a brief public exchange through lawyers, and then nothing. Scarlett said she would never discuss the details, because she did not want Rose to read about her parents’ divorce when she was older. She has kept that promise for nine years. The divorce was finalized in September 2017 with shared custody; Rose lives primarily with her mother and sees her father regularly, and both parents live in New York.
What Scarlett has said about her
Most of the public record on Rose comes from talk-show anecdotes. On Ellen in 2017 Scarlett described a daughter who insisted on dressing as a princess every day and believed that her mother’s job was being a superhero. By 2025 the anecdotes had grown up with her. Promoting Eleanor the Great, her first film as a director, in September 2025, Scarlett said Rose was “super-supportive” and “sees that this film is a labor of love, and that it’s a story that’s important to me.” She described Rose as observant and quick, and said that her son Cosmo, then four, had only a vague idea of what she does.
A stepfather and a brother
In October 2020 Scarlett married Saturday Night Live writer and anchor Colin Jost, and in August 2021 their son Cosmo was born. Scarlett has said Rose adores Colin and that he is a hands-on father; in 2023 she described him looking after baby Cosmo on location while she filmed Asteroid City. Rose, seven years older than her brother, is by her mother’s account very much the big sister.
Why you will not see her
Scarlett has been explicit that she wants her children out of the frame, and she has backed that with action: she has no personal social media, she has fought paparazzi agencies, and Rose’s face does not appear in her mother’s promotional material. The result is a 12-year-old about whom almost nothing is known except that her mother thinks she is funny and supportive, which is roughly what a 12-year-old should be known for. Compare the rare glimpses of Elvis Presley’s granddaughters, raised with the same policy.
