In the world of Hollywood, it’s not rare to see A-listers getting together in holy matrimony. But when the said A-listers separate, it quickly becomes a headline. One such pair was Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson, whose union began in 2008 and quickly ended in 2011. Furthermore, similar to their three-year marriage, the majority of their divorce proceedings were kept confidential.
Now, both celebrities have moved on with their lives, with Johansson married to Colin Jost and Reynolds to Blake Lively. But Johansson’s previous remark hinted at a possible reason why her marriage to the Deadpool actor could not work out.
The Reason Behind Scarlett Johansson’s Failed Marriage with Ryan Reynolds
The media was buzzing when both Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson released a joint statement in 2010 saying that they were going their separate ways. Everyone was curious about what transpired between the seemingly ideal pair. While both actors kept mum for the longest time, Johansson slipped some details to Cosmopolitan in 2016.
While she did not take any names, given that at the time she was dating art dealer Romain Dauriac, it’s safe to make an assumption. While talking about prioritizing time in relationships, she added:
The logistics of being with another actor are challenging. There has to be a real understanding of how you share your time, especially when two people’s careers are going at the same rate. Or even if one person is more successful than the other, that also proves challenging. There may be a competitive thing.
The career demographics of both actors were quite different during their marriage. For instance, Johansson earned three Golden Globe nominations in 2008 as well as was one of Forbes’ highest-paid actresses for the year 2009. On the other hand, Reynolds was gaining momentum in his career with The Proposal. But even after their divorce, the actress (via E News) revealed in 2011 that she had no regrets about marrying Reynolds.
These good emotions were not just shared by Scarlett Johansson; Reynolds has also said only good things about his ex-wife. In an interview (via Glamour Magazine), Reynolds added that “departing a relationship” and still viewing the person as the same one he married was something he feels fortunate to have. Moreover, the actor mentioned how respectfully and with grace he and Johansson chose to end things.
Ryan Reynolds Found Love Again With Blake Lively
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively can easily be the most fun couple on the block. The duo can be seen pulling pranks on each other every now and then. Further, not to forget their hilarious social media posts about each other. But the beginning of the love story took place on the Green Lantern set in 2010. But they were friends initially until they started dating in 2011, given that Reynolds was still married to Johansson at the time (via People).
After a year of Green Lantern, the couple went on a double date, but not with each other. Lively was with another guy, and Reynolds was with another girl. That’s when the sparks between the duo started flying. They kept their relationship under wraps, but the media was quick to pick up on things.
But not for very long, as the couple tied the knot in 2012, putting an end to all the media speculation. Now, after 12 years of marriage and four children down the line, the celebrity couple are living their best lives. Further, the actor can be constantly spotted saying amazing things about his wife and his beautiful baby girls.
