Ryan Reynolds’ Super Serious Relationship With Iconic Singer Before Allegedly Leaving Scarlett Johansson for Blake Lively

Ryan Reynolds is one of the top actors in the industry currently, especially with the recent success of Deadpool & Wolverine, the actor’s career has reached new heights. He is regarded as one of the most versatile and influential actors who has been a part of projects including Free Guy, The Adam Project, Turbo, The Proposal, Blade: Trinity, and more.

The Canadian star is married to Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, who has been in the news recently after she filed a lawsuit against her co-star Justin Baldoni. The news allowed the fans to dig deep into not only Lively’s but also Reynolds’ life, and his one relationship that not everyone knows about needed some clarity.

Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds was engaged to Alanis Morissette

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are the Internet’s favorite couple, as their banter online makes people believe that marriages are fun too. Recent news about Lively filing a lawsuit against It Ends With Us co-star and filmmaker Justin Baldoni has brought the couple back in the limelight again.

If Lively’s allegations against Baldoni are to be believed, she mentioned that the actor had actively participated in a smear campaign against her. The reality is yes, the Internet dislikes Lively at the given times, and the majority of the moviegoers decided to side with Baldoni. The news made fans curious about Reynolds’ past relationship as well, especially her failed engagement to Alanis Morrissette.

Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morissette can come off as a very unlikely couple, but it turns out the couple were serious about making it to the aisle before parting ways in 2007. Reynolds and Morrissette met in 2002; in 2004, it was reported that the actor had popped the question. The singer shared with People,

We have the perfect combination of compatibility and incompatibility that makes the relationship very passionate. It’s perfect. I think it’s about stretching each other.

In 2006 it was reported that the couple had called it quits only to reunite and officially call it off in 2007. The reason for their split was never disclosed or discussed, but the singer channeled her post-breakup angst into her 2008 album Flavors of Entanglement her song ‘Torch’ being the direct link. Morissette, in her interview with the Los Angeles Times, shared:

I think it’s the straw that breaks the camel’s back. I was a full-blown love addict, so it was like, ‘I can’t keep doing this; my body can’t take it.’ For someone who is a love addict, breakups are debilitating.

The actor, on the other hand, decided to keep the details about their relationship to himself and moved on to actress Scarlett Johansson. 

Ryan Reynolds found his happiness with IT girl Blake Lively

Two months after Reynolds and Morissette called it quits, the Canadian actor was spotted with Scarlett Johansson, and reportedly the two had started dating. In 2008, the two got engaged, and it was known that they were thrilled with what was to come for them. Without wasting much time, Johansson and Reynolds exchanged vows on Vancouver Island, Canada, but their marriage only lasted for two years. (via E News!)

The reason for their separation was never cited, but sources close to them mentioned that it was the distance. They just didn’t spend enough time together. But if rumors are to be believed, it was shared at the time that Ryan Reynolds expected Johansson to drop everything and come to him, adding that he can be an overbearing control freak.

It was also noted at the time that the Canadian actor couldn’t digest the fact that Scarlett Johansson was more successful than him. Then he met Blake Lively on the sets of Green Lantern, but the two did not date until 2011. They were on a blind date with other people, and it was awkward. Explaining the same, Reynolds shared with E News! ,

That was the most awkward date from their perspective, probably because we were just like fireworks coming across. It was weird at first, but we were buddies for a long time. I think the best way to have a relationship is to start as friends.

However, it was rumored in 2010 after a waitress told The Daily Mail that she saw Lively and Reynolds having dinner in New York, and it was giving couple. It was never clarified if Reynolds cheated on Johansson with Lively, but rumors stated that he did. But, according to Perez Hilton, Lively & Reynolds did hook up but they kept it under the wraps as the duo’s team had threatened the editors from running the story.

After dating for a year, the two got married in 2012, and sources shared that their marriage was nothing but celebrating the love they had for each other. Reynolds & Lively are one of the most admired couples in the industry. The two of them share four kids; three girls and one boy.
