﻿When you get a perfect Hollywood couple, Like Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively,
it's impossible to imagine that they were ever with anyone else. Well, in this case,
it's true. Ryan was, in fact, married to Scarlett Johanson when he met his future wife,
Blake. Ryan and Scarlett weren't very public about their relationship and marriage. In fact, the pair
were hardly spotted and photographed together. This probably sounds a little strange considering
what Ryan's marriage to Blake Lively has been like. Granted, they've been private about their
three daughters, but when it comes to their own relationship, they've been pretty happy to share
intimate snaps of just the two of them together. The pics and tweets come with some hilarious
captions that fans can't help but laugh at. However with Scarlet, things were very different.
They weren't the typical Hollywood couple that went out publicly together and gushed about one
another. The world didn't even know that they were a thing until they confirmed that they had
gotten married in 2008! Now, we're not saying that there's anything wrong with keeping things
private, but it's another story when a couple doesn't even want to show any PDA in public.
Unfortunately, to fans' dismay, their marriage didn't last. When Scarlett and Ryan parted ways
in 2010, it was the biggest news of its time, despite the fact their whole relationship had
been kept pretty under wraps. Naturally, they both kept their lips tightly sealed
when it came to talking about their split. Many sources have claimed several reasons to
be the cause of their divorce, but the one thing fans think was the true reason is that
Scarlett Johansson was at the peak of her career while Reynolds was just making it.
No use talking about that now because they're both happy in life and have a successful
careers. On the other hand, what you might find incredibly interesting is
that Reynolds has allegedly asked Marvel studios to keep him out of any of Scarlett's movies.
Doesn't that make you raise an eyebrow … or two. Yeah, us too.
Want to know why? Well, it seems that Ryan simply
wants to avoid any awkwardness with his ex-wife. While these are simply allegations, there might
be some truth to them. The actor is said to have quite a few future Marvel projects coming his way,
and his one condition to making the films is that he wouldn't have to share a set with Scarlet.
This might be a tough one to avoid since Scarlett has her own set of Marvel movies
and it would seem that they would be bound to cross paths eventually.
According to every report we got, their marriage didn't end well. Because, well,
Reynolds wanted a family at that time, and Scarlett had her own career to take care of.
In the end, they did get what they wanted. Ryan Reynolds is now one of the highest-paid actors
and has a beautiful family with beautiful kids and a wife he loves and adores.
Scarlett Johansson is one of the most famous actors in the world, and in the end, she also
got her happily ever after with the man she loves, Colin Jost and their new bundle of joy.
Years after her divorce to Ryan, when Scarlett's Oscar-nominated Marriage Story, also starring
Adam Driver, was released, she decided to open up on what went wrong in their own marriage.
"I mean, the first time I got married I was 23 years old. I didn't really have an
understanding of marriage. Maybe I kind of romanticised it, I think, in a way."
After announcing their divorce in December 2010 - through a joint statement affirming
their continued 'love and kindness for each other - Johansson found love again
with French journalist Romain Dauriac, who she married in 2014, although they divorced
just three years later. So with two failed marriages, there's no doubt that the actress
had learned a lot of lessons during that time. Around the time of her divorce from Dauriac,
with whom she shares a 6-year-old daughter, Johansson met with director Noah Baumbach who
was writing the script for a new film Marriage Story about a couple going through a divorce.
"I had some kind of shared experience with the character, or with any person going
through a divorce, really," Johansson said. "I understood the bittersweetness of it somehow,
in a way. All those kind of in-between feelings that the character has. I understood them
because I had gone through them myself." Johansson plays Nicole who is in the midst
of a divorce from her husband Charlie, played by Adam Driver. The couple shares a child too,
which the actress explains she could relate to more as she co-parents her daughter with Dauriac.
The 36-year-old actress reflected on what she's learned about marriage now,
after going through her experiences of divorce and finding love again.
"It's a different part of my life now," she confessed, in comparison to the first
marriage with Reynolds. "I feel like I'm in a place in my life where I'm
able to make more active choices. I'm more present, I think, than I've been before."
While they'll be avoiding one another onset in the future, they've both moved on in their
respective lives and seem to be truly happy. Colin Jost and Scarlett quietly got married in
October 2020. Johansson spoke about the wedding to People in April. "I think just keeping it intimate
and small made it feel intentional," she said. "We wanted it to feel like it had an intentional
intimacy as opposed to being something that felt like we were restricted by all these things."
Not only did they keep their wedding under wraps, but her pregnancy too. We
guess that since the world was under lockdown for most of her pregnancy,
it helped to keep things a secret. The couple didn't announce that she was expecting until
just about when she gave birth. But now that their son, baby Cosmo, has arrived,
we did a little digging to find out about how they're coping with parenthood.
"They are very private but elated over the baby," an entertainment source shared. "They are both
so happy and madly in love with the baby. They wanted this child who will fit right into their
lives since they already have her daughter. They are an awesome couple, both talented, smart and
clever. They will be the best parents." And it seems that Jost is also the ultimate
father, "Colin is considerate and helpful in everyday life so adding one more to the mix
should be fine," the source added. "The baby is the best thing ever for both of them."
Since Scarlett doesn't have social media, it was Colin who announced their
son's birth after Johansson's rep confirmed a week ago that the actress recently gave birth
to their son. That rep did not specify the baby's name or exact birth date.
Jost did reveal the name on his Instagram. He wrote, "Okay okay we had a baby. His
name is Cosmo. We love him very much. Privacy would be greatly appreciated." He wrote in the
caption of his Instagram. Ryan and Blake are also
living on their own happily ever after. We're so happy that both Scarlett and Ryan
were able to move on and find the happiness that they deserve. While the journey wasn't easy,
it's clear that sometimes the person that you marry isn't always the one and
it's okay for things not to work out. Your true love might be right around the corner.
