Scarlett Johansson Reveals the Real Reason Why She Divorced Ryan Reynolds: “I didn’t know what I wanted or needed from somebody else”
Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson were married from 2008 to 2011; however, it has been so long that many people might have forgotten. Even, though both actors have admitted that the marriage was short-lived, little information about what went wrong has been made public.
But now, speaking on Gwyneth Paltrow’s The Gloop Podcast, the actress has discussed their brief romance and how young she was at the time.
The Canadian actor and the Avengers actress started dating in 2007 and were married from 2008 to 2011. The actors chose not to talk much about their relationship in interviews and were known for being notoriously private. They were also rarely photographed together.
Years after their divorce, however, the Black Widow actress gave a hint about what caused her marriage with the Deadpool actor to fail. This explains why they allegedly refused to work together.
According to the insider, at the time, their relationship’s main issue was distance, and the actress was “unhappy for a while”.

The Truth Behind Ryan Reynolds And Scarlett Johansson’s Divorce
Scarlett Johansson recently made a rare statement regarding her ex-husband, Ryan Reynolds. The 38-year-old actress was transparent about her previous relationships on Tuesday’s episode of Gwyneth Paltrow’s The Goop Podcast.
“You’ve been married two times?” Paltrow inquired of Johansson. The actor corrected her, “Three times,” in response.
“Oh that’s right, because I forgot that you were married to Ryan Reynolds!” Paltrow answered. “Goals!”
Johansson chuckled at the host’s remarks before remembering her 2008 wedding to Reynolds. “We weren’t married very long, but we were when I first met you, for Iron Man [2] or whatever.”
The actress then continued by discussing her current husband, Colin Jost, to whom she has been married since 2020. She claimed that the reason this marriage is successful, but those of Reynolds and Romain Dauriac are not, is because she is now in a more mature stage of her life. The actress, at that time, wasn’t exactly sure what she wanted or needed from another person.
“I didn’t know what I wanted or needed from somebody else.”
She And Her Partner Needed To Share Certain Traits
Scarlett Johansson was questioned by Gwyneth Paltrow about the lessons she took away from her previous failed relationships. She recalled her general thoughts on dating when she first started seeing Josh Hartnett in response.
She claimed that after some time, she realized that she and her partner needed to share a few particular personality traits.
The Marriage Story star admitted that being in a relationship is difficult because compromise is a constant part of it.
“But I never realised, ‘Oh, it’s really important for me, I need to be with a compassionate person. That’s a fundamental characteristic that has to be there.’”
She emphasized how crucial it was for her to marry a compassionate person and continued,
“Understanding what those fundamental things are, that you need in a partner, is, I think, a must for longevity, anyway… I think identifying those things was a game-changer for me.”
Ryan Reynolds remarried Blake Lively in 2012 after his divorce from Scarlett Johansson. The couple has three daughters. Early this year, they gave birth to their fourth child, whose name they haven’t revealed yet.
Meanwhile, Johansson married Romain Dauriac in 2014; however, the couple divorced in 2017. The ex-couple has a daughter together. She then married her current husband, Colin Jost, in 2020. And in 2021, they announced the arrival of their son, Cosmo Jost.
