Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson Have Split
Wednesday, December 8th, 2010It seems that Tinseltown is a town of tears these days, whether they be happy ones celebrating baby bumps and Richie weddings, or sad ones mourning the end of romance. This week romance comes to a screeching halt for Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson as they end their marriage, though we don’t expect any Arquette-esque fuglies to come of this one. Ryan Reynolds did offer to work on his marriage to Scarlett Johansson. But it was, you know, hard. “At first it was … let’s fix this,” a source tells People, the magazine that just crowned 34-year-old Ryan their first Canadian Sexiest Man Alive last month. “And then it got to the point where it was just, if it’s not working, it’s not working. He’s an adult, and he finally just said they should stop.” That is probably the loveliest, most heartfelt way I’ve ever heard a celebrity say, “I dumped her.” The Ryan-friendly sources at People magazine note that the couple’s eight-year age difference contributed to the split. “She’s young (26), and that played into how she’s able to deal with things,” a source told People. That might explain why Us Weekly reports that four days before announcing their split, Scarlett was seen “screaming” into her phone at her apartment building in Manhattan, and “referring to someone as a ‘jerk’.”
She was separated four days later, not that anyone is saying she was calling Ryan a jerk. Just strongly implying.Scarlett’s currently tanning the pain away on a vacation in Jamaica with friends. Ryan’s decided to wait for Scarlett to file divorce papers, People reports, but since she’s still wearing her wedding ring, she doesn’t appear to be in a huge rush. So it looks like this breakup has reached a stalemate that won’t be thawed without the help of some really attractive rebounds. Any takers on who that might be? Anyone? Anyone?
