Scarlett Johansson is currently making headlines for her ravishing appearance at the premiere of her film Ray Gunn on October 10, 2026, at the 70th BFI Film Festival in London. She looked stunning in a red Hermes dress at the event. Over the years, Scarlett has won the hearts of audiences with stellar performances in films including Black Widow, The Horse Whisperer, and many more.
Apart from her professional front, the 41-year-old actress also grabbed significant attention for her personal life. Scarlett has been married to Colin Jost since 2020. Earlier, she was married to Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2010. Later, she tied the knot with French journalist and art dealer Romain Dauriac. But do you know that after her divorce from Ryan, Scarlett didn’t want to get married again?
Scarlett Johansson shared that marriage was not that important after her separation from Ryan Reynolds
Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds announced their separation in December 2010. Later, in July 2011, their divorce was officially finalized. Three years after their separation, Scarlett sat for a candid interview with Elle UK. During the interview, the Black Widow star shared that when she was young, she got married to Ryan Reynolds. According to Scarlett, marriage meant something incredibly romantic, and she liked being married. However, things changed after her separation. She said:
“To me, being in a functioning relationship doesn’t mean you have to be married. I never think about marriage. It’s really not important to me.”
However, things changed completely when French journalist and art dealer Romain Dauriac came into her life. In a 2015 interview with Parade, Scarlett shared what made her realize that Dauriac was the one. Recalling an incident, the actress said something had happened in her family, and she was very upset and devastated.
At the time, she was having an intense conversation on the phone. Taking a break from that conversation, Scarlett came to the living room and began crying. That’s when Romain came to her and held her. Recalling the moment, Scarlett said:
“I went back to the other room and finished this intense conversation. We never talked about it after that. He comforted me. That was enough.”
What went wrong in Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds’ marriage?
Scarlett and Ryan reportedly began dating in 2007. In May 2008, PEOPLE reported that Reynolds and Johansson were engaged. At the time, Scarlett’s representative Marcel Pariseau told PEOPLE that the two were thrilled. By September 2008, the former couple tied the knot in a wilderness retreat on Vancouver Island, Canada. In September 2008, Reynolds’ rep Meredith O’Sullivan confirmed the news to PEOPLE.
Everything was going well until 2010. After a lot of speculation surrounding their split, Reynolds and Johansson announced their separation in December 2010. Back then, they issued a statement to PEOPLE, wherein they mentioned that after long and careful consideration on both their parts, they had decided to end their marriage. The statement can be read as:
“We entered our relationship with love, and it’s with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn’t expected, it’s certainly appreciated.”
While Ryan and Scarlett never addressed what really went wrong in their marriage, a source close to them told US Weekly that the big problem in their relationship was the distance. According to the insider, Reynolds and Johansson just didn’t get to spend enough time together. In 2010, a source close to the couple alleged to The Daily Mail that Ryan was a ‘control freak’. The insider claimed that Ryan expected Scarlett to leave everything and come to him.
