The Real Reason Scarlett Divorced Ryan Reynolds
-
0:00 - 0:04Remember when Ryan Reynolds was married to
Scarlett Johansson for a blink of an eye? -
0:05 - 0:10We almost didn't either: they began dating
in 2007, tied the knot in 2008, and split -
0:09 - 0:10in December 2010.
-
0:10 - 0:15They were both so private and secretive about
the whole thing that there's very little photographic -
0:16 - 0:18evidence they were ever together at all.
-
0:18 - 0:19So what went wrong?
-
0:19 - 0:23Here are some likely reasons why Scarlett
and Ryan didn't go the distance. -
0:23 - 0:24Threatened
-
0:24 - 0:28In April 2016, Johansson indicated to Cosmopolitan
that competition between herself and Reynolds -
0:29 - 0:30may have played a role in their split.
-
0:31 - 0:32She told the mag:
-
0:32 - 0:35"The logistics of being with another actor
are challenging. -
0:34 - 0:38There has to be a real understanding of how
you share your time, especially when two people's -
0:39 - 0:41careers are going at the same rate.
-
0:41 - 0:45Or even if one person is more successful than
the other, that also proves challenging. -
0:45 - 0:46There may be a competitive thing."
-
0:47 - 0:51That echoes her sentiments from almost exactly
a year earlier, when she hinted to Parade -
0:51 - 0:55magazine in April 2015 that Reynolds' box
office bombs may have played a role in their -
0:55 - 0:56divorce.
-
0:56 - 0:57She explained:
-
0:57 - 0:59"Acting is a very strange world to be co-existing
in. -
0:59 - 1:00It's very volatile.
-
1:01 - 1:03There's always going to be the more successful
person. -
1:03 - 1:04It's related to rejection.
-
1:04 - 1:08Because actors, if they're not having success,
connect it directly to unpopularity—to the -
1:09 - 1:11fact that nobody wants them."
-
1:11 - 1:12She added:
-
1:12 - 1:13"[Marriage] takes a lot of work.
-
1:13 - 1:16It takes a man who's not only confident in
the love that you have for one another, but -
1:16 - 1:18confident in what he has going on in his own
career." -
1:18 - 1:19Ouch!
-
1:19 - 1:20"Good one!
-
1:20 - 1:22Yup, that was a good one."
-
1:23 - 1:24Commitment issues
-
1:24 - 1:27After their divorce, Johansson hinted that
she may not have known how to handle such -
1:28 - 1:29a serious relationship.
-
1:29 - 1:32They got together when she was just 23 to
Reynolds' 31. -
1:33 - 1:35She explained to Glamour in 2014,
-
1:34 - 1:39"I feel I know now more of what I need in
a relationship, what I want in a relationship. -
1:39 - 1:43And I know I have more tools to communicate,
not just with my partner, but with myself. -
1:43 - 1:46That's not necessarily any reflection of who
I was married to or what was happening in -
1:47 - 1:49my marriage, but really where I was in my
life." -
1:49 - 1:59"And the more you know who you are, and what
you want, the less you let things upset you." -
2:00 - 2:02"Yeah…"
-
2:03 - 2:04Personality clash
-
2:04 - 2:08An insider told InTouch that Johansson and
Reynolds started as a case of opposites attract -
2:08 - 2:11— and that in the end, they realized opposites
are actually incompatible. -
2:11 - 2:13"He's more traditional and she's more independent.
-
2:14 - 2:15They're both strong-willed and stubborn people.
-
2:16 - 2:20There was a lack of warmth between them, that
was troubling…He said it sounded like she -
2:20 - 2:22was yelling at him every time she talked to
him. -
2:22 - 2:26When Scarlett visited Ryan on the set of The
Proposal, she was screaming at him in his -
2:27 - 2:28trailer—going nuts."
-
2:28 - 2:29Too private
-
2:29 - 2:32There are hardly any photographs of Johansson
and Reynolds together at all. -
2:32 - 2:35That seems to be more of Johansson's doing:
you never really see her with her significant -
2:36 - 2:40others, not even current husband Romain Dauriac,
but you see Ryan Reynolds with Blake Lively -
2:41 - 2:42constantly.
-
2:42 - 2:45Scarlett's desire for privacy may not have
meshed well with Ryan's need for control, -
2:46 - 2:47according to a source for InTouch magazine:
-
2:48 - 2:50"He can be an overbearing control freak.
-
2:50 - 2:53When he wanted her there, he expected her
to drop everything and come to him. -
2:54 - 2:55She got tired of the double standard."
-
2:56 - 2:57Hello, Blake Lively
-
2:58 - 3:01When Reynolds filmed Green Lantern, sources
told The Daily Mail that he began cozying -
3:01 - 3:04up with co-star Blake Lively…when he was
still married to Johansson. -
3:05 - 3:08One witness saw Reynolds and Lively getting
close over dinner before he and Johansson -
3:09 - 3:10split.
-
3:10 - 3:12"It was just the two of them, and they were
laughing and flirting. -
3:12 - 3:13It looked like a date.
-
3:13 - 3:16If you didn't know who they were, you would
definitely assume they were a couple." -
3:16 - 3:19The Daily Mail reports that Johansson was
uncomfortable with how close Reynolds and -
3:19 - 3:23Lively had become on set before any rumors
swirled about their off-screen romance, and -
3:24 - 3:28considering that Reynolds and Lively married
in 2012, it looks like Johansson's feeling -
3:28 - 3:30that her relationship was doomed might have
been right. -
