We remember little. But before spinning the perfect love with Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds was married to another actress… the beautiful Scarlett Johansson. The two stars split after just two years of marriage before their divorce was finalized in 2011.
A separation that had greatly affected Ryan Reynolds. “Anyone who divorces goes through a long period of pain, but we always end up getting through it. I am not cured yet, not at all even, but I feel that I will get there, ”he confided at the time to the American magazine Details. With more hindsight, Scarlett Johansson also spoke of their divorce in 2019. “The first time I got married, I was 23 years old. I didn't understand what marriage was. Maybe I had idealized him in some way."
Jealousy seems to have separated them
Besides the distance, it seems that jealousy got the better of their union: “Being with another actor is a challenge. […] There has to be a real understanding of what you're doing with your time, especially when two people's careers are going at the same pace. Or even if there is one person who is more successful than the other, which is a challenge. There is competition,” Scarlett Johansson told Cosmopolitan magazine.
From now on, Ryan Reynolds therefore lives a cloudless union with Blake Lively. “My wife and my children are my balance,” he declared to Télé Star two years ago. For her part, Scarlett Johansson is engaged in May 2019 to comedian Colin Jost, met on the set of the American show Saturday Night Live.
