Era marked by turbulent celebrity divorces and custody battles, Scarlett Johansson stands out for her positive outlook on past relationships, including her brief marriage to actor Ryan Reynolds.
The Black Widow star, known for her roles in Marvel blockbusters, tied the knot with Reynolds in a whirlwind ceremony in British Columbia in 2008, just four months after they met. Despite their shared stardom, their union lasted only three years, with the couple announcing their separation in December 2010 and finalizing their divorce the following year.
In a rare comment about her ex-husband, Scarlett Johansson recently shared insights during a podcast appearance with Gwyneth Paltrow on Goop in April 2023. When asked about her marriages, Johansson corrected Paltrow, revealing she has been married three times, including her time with Reynolds.
“We weren’t married very long, but we were when I first met you, for Iron Man [2] or whatever,” Johansson reminisced. Paltrow, surprised, exclaimed, “Goals!” expressing admiration for Reynolds, whom she fondly remembered.
Since their divorce, both Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds have moved on to new chapters in their personal lives. Reynolds married actress Blake Lively in 2012, with whom he shares four children. Johansson, on the other hand, went on to marry French advertising executive Romain Dauriac, welcoming a daughter in 2017 before their divorce. She later married Colin Jost, co-head writer of Saturday Night Live, with whom she shares a son.
Reflecting on her journey through multiple marriages, Johansson shared lessons learned from past relationships, highlighting personal growth and the importance of setting boundaries in her current relationship with Colin Jost.
