File this under “Things That Are Not Shocking”. ScarJo and Ryan Reynolds have officially split up after two years of marriage. Us Weekly is currently claiming that they’re exclusive sources have told all in the new issue (out tomorrow), while TMZ is breaking the official story now. According to TMZ, “We’re told Ryan and Scarlett are living apart. And we’re told it’s amicable. We don’t know if Ryan or Scarlett have immediate plans to file for divorce.” Here’s Us Weekly’s report:
After more than two years, Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds have decided to end their marriage, a source close to the couple tells the new Us Weekly, out Wednesday.
“They are being very civil about it,” the source says, noting that the spouses separated about two weeks ago.
Johannson, 26, began dating Reynolds, 34, in 2007; the stars announced their engagement in May 2008 and tied the knot that September in a remote wilderness retreat in Vancouver, B.C.
The source explains that Iron Man 2 star Johansson initiated the split. At issue? “The big problem with their relationship is the distance,” says the source. “They spent a lot of time apart when they are working…She’s been unhappy for a while.”
Johansson told Glamour last year that she’s no expert on relationships. “I don’t profess to know anything about marriage that anybody else doesn’t know, or how to make it right,” she told the mag.
Green Lantern star Reynolds, meanwhile, admitted in the October issue of GQ that things had “changed” since they got married. “I’m a little more guarded, I think. I’m a little bit more wary of having my relationship turning into a soap opera.”
Still, he gushed at the time that marriage was the “best part” of his life.
[From Us Weekly]
Well, there have been rumors about their marriage problems for more than a year, and they always seemed (to me) like a WTF? couple. I mean, why did ScarJo settle down? With HIM? She always seemed wilder than this “happily married wife” image that she wanted to project. It seemed like she was trying to be this nature-loving, low-profile, down-home girl when she really just wanted to sit in a bar with her hair and makeup done, downing a stiff drink. Also – I’m feeling a little smug about this, and I know, that makes me a horrible person. I’ve known they weren’t going to make it from the beginning. So… I was right.
Last “I told you so” moment: remember this interview that Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds did together last year where they were climbing up each other’s asses about how great their marriages were and how they’re so much better than other celebrities because they kept things private? Yeah. Told you so.
UPDATE: ScarJo and Ryan released a statement: “After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we’ve decided to end our marriage. 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.”
Another one bites the dust.
Throw it on the pile.
Man, actors are soooo lame with their pretense even off stage.
EDIT: AT least they didn’t sell a multi-million dollar wedding weekend to mags…
gee. how unexpected.
I always thought they got married, there was all the hullabaloo and then…*poof*…that was kind of it. Didn’t see them together, didn’t ‘hear’ about them together…and now they aren’t together. I agree…so not shocking.
I think when she almost forgot to thank him at the Tony’s that was a huge sign. Coupled with all the rumours about who she was seeing during her time in the city. Not a tragedy. But maybe Sandra and Ryan could settle down together?
Shocker. Guess they were just too beautiful for each other…
I was listening to a comment by a radio personality, he met Ryan and said “I met your wife in New Orleans several years ago.” To which Ryan said “She was never in New Orleans at that time?… I keep finding out things about my wife.”
It’s not a huge age difference, but I could totally see Scarlett having an “I’m not even 30, what am I doing?” moment. He was probably a bit more ready to settle.
It’s like the Ryan’s can’t be in a relationship at the same time. We lost Gosling and got back Reynolds. I’d prefer we got to keep Breaker High.
Yeah, she was too young & wild to settle down. Guess where there’s smoke there’s fire is true again.
Why are you not covering more surprising stories like Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudges breaking up?
@Roma… omg, I thought I was the only one who remembered Breaker High!! Yes, I rather have the “Gosdong” available.
“remember this interview that Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds did together last year where they were climbing up each other’s asses about how great their marriages were and how they’re so much better than other celebrities because they kept things private?”
Holy shit Kaiser, I remember reading that same story way back when and thinking yeah, that’s going to come back to bite them in the ass. Plus much like Sandra and Jesse, I’ve always thought Scarjo and Ryan was a weird pairing, no chemistry there yah know? So yeah, colour me unsurprised.
Is there something in the air? Seriously – it’s just one couple after another.. This one perhaps not so surprisingly though.
geez imagine that….i have no faith in marriages anymore…in Hollywood anyway.
This news made me smile 😀 , its not a surprise, they never seemed right together.
At least no children are involved in this split.
Well, he has the personality of a foot (I apologize to all feet), but I can see why she’d want to jump him repeatedly for awhile. She was young — I can forgive her if she mistook that for love.
Considering his treatment of Alanis, I can’t show him that same forgiveness. Even though she’s obviously moved on and seems very happy, one knows she must be overjoyed about this. And she deserves to be.
And yeah, Kaiser, I saw it coming too. I think we all did. Hopefully, Scarlett has learned a bit of a lesson and will grow up. Ryan’s always gonna be an ass. He’s just wired that way.
What a shocker, NOT! They never really ‘fit’ to be honest and really, could anyone see them lasting the distance? I’ve never warmed up to Ryan R., there’s something contrived and plastic about him. As for ScarJo, maybe her divorce will finally make her interesting again.
And please, no Sandra/Ryan hook-up that would be the absolute worst thing ever. Besides, I get the feeling Ryan will need to be the bigger star in a relationship.
He seems insufferable, and so I understand her decision to get out, once the pheromones wore off.
Gasp Shock THE HORROR!
whatever.
I am shocked, actually. They took such a low profile as a couple that I even forgot they were married.
I Choose Me – I thought of that same piece when Sandra Bullock and Jesse split too. It’s totally bitchy, but it’s interesting to think that those two couples were fellating each other over the “integrity” of their marriages just one year ago.
Reynolds is available, oh yes.
Hate to say it, but I kinda knew this was going to happen. Sorry.
Hmm, not surprising. Famous break ups come in threes. So Zac Effron, Micheal C Hall and now Ryan Reynolds all split from their wives within a few days of each other.
Geez, 2010 hasn’t been a good year for marriages.
I always liked him and Alanis, they should have stayed together….These two never seemed real
@Couldn’tHelpIt: Then I’m guessing we’re both Canadian and about the same age! Sometimes I feel like I made that show up because no one else remembers it.
It’s not like either is going to gather dust on the shelf.
This is one the cases where I was hoping tabloid gossip would be proven wrong. Oh well. I hope they keep it classy. I think they probably will.
Sooooo…do we think Blake Lively takes up the pursuit once it’s time to promote Green Lantern or does she focus on Gosling, Ryan for that long?
I thought they’d make it. Didn’t realize how they were never around each other. Maybe he wanted female companionship while he pursued his career and he needed someone as busy as him. Figuring he didn’t want to fight with a house wife mad cause he’s on set all the time. Instead he got the actress that was mad cause he was on set all the time. Whole point of being married is to be around each other all the time. Oh well she’s young and good looking…so is he. Enjoy them both …all the best. Don’t propose Ryan if you’re not going to be around all the time…no need to be married. Anyway I didn’t realize they never saw each other. Just though they kept it on the down low.
Whimps
I never like reading that another married couple is calling it quits. To me, marriage is forever and I believe you should not get married just to be married.
Now that I said that, my celebrity gossip side wants to say that I never liked them together. Ryan has the title of my biggest celeb crush and I think always will! ScarJo is blah to me but I do like a few movies she has been in.
I think I agree with Lila, something very narcisstic about them both, probably not getting enough worship from each other.
He should’ve stayed his hot ass with Alanis. ScarJo’s got a nice rack, but can’t act for bupkis in anything I’ve seen her in.
Hmmm I didn’t seeing them lasting. Love the joint statement. “While privacy isn’t expected its certainly appreciated.” Thats hilarious.
but tango, so did elizabeth hurley and arun. this is the 4th in a week.
I always though this couple had one of those whirlwind the “lovin” is so good who needs anything else start ups and decided to make a go of it. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t.
She was probably jealous of the attention other celebs were getting jumping in and out of realationships and decided to get back in the game. It’s a good career move.
What a joke Hollywood is.
Is two years the new 10 years in H-Wood now? Sure seems like it.
Guess there was no room in the marriage for either of them, due to the size of the egos involved. 😉
I am getting the Green Hornet and Green Lantern confused which is driving me crazy because I keep having to IMDB these crapfests and still I can’t keep them straight.
Too bad. But it’s like they were never actually together anyway. They were so “secretive” they were rarely ever seen together and didn’t seem to spend much time together.
Like Goopy and Chris except there are children to show they were together at some point.
It really is a shame. They had matching water bottles and everything.
Well, next Goopy and Chris I say.
LOL @ Riley!
Never marry a man with eyes that close together is what I’ve always said. Always got major douche/diva vibes from him.
No one seems to want to work at marriages these days. I mean 2 years? That’s nothing; so much for commitment.
I’m predicting that Justin Timberlake and Jessica ‘The World’s Most Beautiful, Greatest Actress’ Biel will break up next.
That will leave the way clear for ScarJo and JT to FINALLY get together.
“They spent a lot of time apart when they are working…She’s been unhappy for a while.”
********
Well duh. She’s not the brightest crayon in the box, is she? They’re both ACTORS. What the hell did she think it would be like?
Well it’s WIDELY know that he’s quite the douchebag in real life! (Read the fan accounts sent to Lainey)He’s done alot better lately but I can only imagine what he was like behind closed doors! On top of that Scarlett is too young….
David Thewlis (?) and Anna Friel split up too. Couple #5.. who’s next?
I always thought he left Alanis and got with Scarlett because he let fame get to his head and he wanted to get with a “hotter” girl, he’s too cocky now. I liked it when he was more humble and seriously funny before. He looked so much better with Alanis. I am also wondering if maybe he could secretly be jealous that Alanis is pg and has moved on…you never know, he can still secretly love her…but that’s just me over thinking it, lmao.
Lame!!! I really liked them together; they were all low key & not in your face with their relationship
My guesses for the next big breakups:
Gaylord Jwifty (Jake G. & Swifty)
Gwyneth & Chris
Timberlake & Biel
Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner (I’m shocked they lasted this year, honestly)
And my wild-card entry is Jessica Alba & Cash Warren.
Not stunned, but surprised it was so soon. I really don’t know what these people expect, if you both work all over the world all the time, you’re not going to be together much.
If a couple wants to stay together in Hollywood they should stay as far away from the altar as possible. Aren’t like the only three couples that have been together for more than 10 years not married?
“f a couple wants to stay together in Hollywood they should stay as far away from the altar as possible.”
Quite honestly, I don’t think the problem rests with getting married. Plenty of unmarried couples have split as well (Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins come immediately to mind). I think it has more to do with the fact that commitment doesn’t mean much to a lot of people anymore.
Your list seems about right, Kaiser, although I hope the Affleck/Garners continue to stay together. I don’t know why but I always hope they prove the naysayers wrong.
Team Alanis
But the real question is, Why do actors continue to marry other actors?
Kaiser I think you can safely add every hollywood couple to that list and within 10 years maybe only 10 will be with their current partners.
I predict engagement for Gaylord Jwifty!
With a hearbreaken grammy award winning album breakup 18 months later.
My vote is Goopy and Chris are the next to bite the dust with Jennifer and Ben not too far behind. Along w/mostly everyone else here – no surprise w/these two – my guess is there was way too much “sexiness”.
Angelina and Brad are still solid after so many false break up reports and other “loving” couples that advertise their “solid” marriage are splitting up like crazy.
This wedding always seemed like a scam to me.I never saw them together,it seemed so fake.Maybe he’s gay,who knows?They never gave out a were in love vibe.Not shocked at all.Just shocked it took them 2 years to split.
While I agree that it isn’t unexpected, your statement about Scarlett being a girl who ‘just wanted to sit in a bar with her hair and makeup down, downing a stiff drink’ couldn’t be further from the truth. The girl in the third photo is more her in real life than the vixen in the top 2. She’s pretty low key and guarded. Not a party girl (although, granted, that may change now she’s been through a divorce at 26)
BREAKER HIGH – nice call, fellow Canucks!
I have to say, she’ll move on and up to someone bigger, and he’ll… lose the hotness once he loses his hair? I actually think Squinty Zellweger and Bradley Cooper might be the next to break up.
It must suck to start divorce proceedings at Christmas though, yikes.
If two vapid self-absorbed celebs can’t make it in this world, what hope is there for the rest of us?? 🙂
Just saying when she was on SNL weeks ago what a bore she was and it wouldn’t last. He was with Alanis so that means he must be a little freaky 😉 Scarlett thinks she is much more than she is. He seems to be just the opposite. Good for him for dropping her, no matter what her PR reps are saying. We all know being dumped means doomed in Hollywood.
They probably got wrapped up in how perfect they look together. Scarlett lost every extra pound and really toned up after her marriage. Guessing when Ryan isn’t on set, he’s working out.
They do have an age difference but it seems about right. Ryan doesn’t seem like the type of guy who is really mature. It’s kind of sad all these marriages are breaking up. At least there are no kids involved.
I knew as soon as I saw that he allowed himself to be People’s sexiest man, that this was coming. He may be a douche, but he’s usually kind of a private douche. Scarjo bores me to tears and I found him kind of cute in “The Proposal”, so I’m on Ryan’s side. I love Ryan’s.
My bet for the next to split is Jessica Simpson and what’s his name. About 2 months after the marriage, or whatever the pre-nup designates. She can’t keep a man, she’s a silly cow.
@jenjen- lol I kinda agree with you but I think it will last a couple of years and that guy will get Jess knocked up with a couple of kids before he divorces her. He seems like he’s in it for the extravagant lifestyle. He’s not going to walk away from that. IF she has a pre-nup in place then he’s going to find a way to at least get something from her before he ever considers leaving her.
@Roma-Haha, they had the show in the States too. My best friend & I always said it musta been the most expensive school/ship ever =P (sorry for the side convo!) But he was so much cuter than the resident “hot/bad boy” dark haired guy.
Seriously, why do these people bother getting married? What’s wrong with just living together?
@Lila (#5)- I’m sorry, so off topic, but is that a guinea pig in your icon? xD Makes me want to use one of my 8 piggies in my own icon.
And I agree, I don’t think any celebrity should ever be especially outspoken about how ‘wonderful’ their relationship or marriage is… it *always* comes back to bite you. They’re tempting fate by even bringing it up.
Johansson on her marriage in 2009: “It seemed natural, the right thing to do. It was kind of a celebration of the time.” http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20308929,00.html
That always seemed to be an odd quote. As if her marriage wasn’t really relevant in the present. Also? “Celebration of the time”= “When the sex was amazing”
Sad, but no surprise. Scarlett can call this her “starter marriage”…
was he the one dating Alanis?
I love Alanis. He’s ugly, in a cute way.
Newsflash: Actors and actresses fail at marriage. Story at 11.
;-P
They were way too narcissistic for each other ROTFL
Celebrities should not marry other celebrities, that’s the problem. Whenever two people are pursuing the SAME career, they get super competitive and jealous, play games with each other, I know two attorneys who are both equally successful, but having the same career creates massive tension. I remember when Matt Dillon married that “commoner” and they ARE still married. I think she was a waitress, but none the less, they have what seems to be a normal relationship.
You never hear about the relationships that do work in Hollywood, because the significant other to the celebrity is generally never a household name.
I agree with your soon to split predictions, but I have to point out, Swifty and Jake can’t really split when she is just being hired as his beard, we all know he is gay.
Kaiser, thanks for linking to the Reynolds/Bullock interview. I love seeing celebs being held responsible for the silly crap they say.
Indeed, they were a “wtf?” couple. Mostly because he is clearly homosexual. There. I said it.
ONTD has a story about a “mystery” breakup saying it’s because one of the people visited too many STRIP CLUBS!
Is it Ryan!?
http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/54316787.html
Oh I LOVED Breaker High. I always liked the “goofy, nerdy” guys on all the high school shows like that. And I’m so happy Ryan Gosling made it big after that show 🙂
Anywho, not shocked at all about this. I know Ryan is ready to have kids, and Scarlett wasn’t…I’m sure that was also a deciding factor as well.
I always wanted him and Alanis to grow old together. Sigh
Lmao
this ain’t a newflash they were never going to last she’s been a high matimence bitch since she was teenager. ask Robert Redford who not only played her father in the Horse Whisperer but also directed the film. some Hollywood marriages actually do last just not recent ones though Ringo Starr & Barbara Bach have been married 30 years in April or Newman & Woodward would’ve been married 53 years next month. granted neither of them were ever a diva and she won the best actress oscar about 2 months after they were married
Not a Ryan Reynold fan. Mediocre talent and uninteresting looks. It’s too bad he felt a great need to try and possess (control) young Scarlett. She was having none of that. Was probably flattered for a minute, then realized her mistake. Poor kid. Live and learn. Time to have some fun!
Not surprised!
I don’t get the fascination with her….
Personally I don’t find it unusual as more than 50% of regular marriages end in divorce according to recent surveys, so add independent wealth, long movie making periods apart and rich beautiful idle people around, willing and able fulfill your deepest darkest wishes. With all of that don’t be surprised if they play romantic musical chairs.
@Hakura–You have eight guineas? I have two! Aren’t they just the best pet in the world? Do all yours live together? Mine don’t get along. I have to put my little boy in another cage or his mother acts like she is going to kill him. Horrible to have your own mother turn on you but she did!! Love my piggies.
I find breakups sad.
but I will say I laugh a bit because people were constantly bragging and giving them props on “HOW THEY KEEP THEIR MARRIAGE PRIVATE”
yeah so private it was over a long time ago. I think it is odd when couples spend so much time apart. Not together. Especially when the marriage is new. They were rarely in the same city. And yet no one was screaming break up. No one was screaming cheating.. hmmm
Maybe this not being together stuff is not working. Most of the couples that have been declaring this have broken up. YOU need to be with your partner. Not in different cities and countries.
Sad.. but.. there you go.
Never thought I’d say this but here goes: She’s too smart for him. He’s a social-climbing nudnik. I think he’s an opportunistic (quoting Kaiser and it’s really appropriate in this instance) D.O.N.G.
They both come of as morons to me, as do most actors. They’re good at looking good at the very least, and sometimes, at acting. But none are very well-educated, most are super insecure and self-centered – not a good combination for a happy, reciprocal relationship. they should just stop getting married and just sleep around. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that – and it’s an honest reflection of how emotionally deep they all are. (Not that being in a long-term marriage means that you’re emotionally deep – longevity in a marriage doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a happy one.)
While I am glad that he got away from yodeling boring Needy Alanis..
I thought he’s be more amused with Sexy Scarlett
folks have more issues than people will ever know…its just sad that none of these folks will ever be able to do a real TELL ALL.
Kim K was surely fawning over him at the sexiest man alive on ABC–lord, I just HOPE–nothing comes of that flirtation–cause they were flirting.
shoot me now! RYAN I am done, if you DARE.
arrrrghhh…… Celebrities have managed to turn marriage into a joke. Infact almost everyone has managed to turn marriage into a joke. They wear the white dress, and tux, reciting vows they do not understand or have no intention of keeping. Very very sad! It is such a joke now.
Half the country is divorced. Talking about celebs is like talking about anyone you know who is divorced which I’m guessing is a good number of people. Wish people the best and keep it moving.
kaiser is annoyingly bitter
Better to split than be miserable together. There are no kids involved and each probably kept their finances separate. Ryan never looked happy or like he was enjoying life. No real surprise here.
Wish I didn’t think this but Ben and Jen are likely on life support. Ben is another one who is always glum. And GP and Chris are spending a lot of time apart lately while she chases getting her career back on track. Hope I am wrong as there are little kids involved.
LOL @ Steph, this site is called Celebitchy, what do you expect? Obviously you keep coming back to read her posts if you are annoyed by them!
@kaiser- I love your tell it like it is posts,no phony bolony hollywood a$$kissing here 😉
Aw man! Breaker High!
I also faithfully watched that show, don’t feel alone, haha!
Hated him every since I read the stories about him on Lainey! He’s such a diva/douche, it’s UGH!!!
Am so glad Alanis has moved on from this self absorbed twit. I’m glad that ScarJo is divorcing him. He deserves to be alone with his disproportionate ego!!
@ Hakura,
Yes, that’s my Peruvian Hobbes. He’s mesmerized by the camera so tends to take some good pics. I want to see your cavies!
I’m sad these famous people can’t make it work, and people in general. Marriage has become a joke to most people as the divorce rate is insane.
At the same time, I too enjoy the speculation of which relationships will work out or not. It’s crazy and unfortunate that we can include marriages in the discussion and not just who’s dating.
On the happy side, Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly are having another baby. All is right in my world.
Saturn in Libra…there will be more. Keep that popcorn fresh.
My prediction for the next couple to split….
Johnny Depp and Vanessa
Garfleck
Goopy
I NEVER understood them as a couple. She’s pretty but dull, dull, DULL. I have to go e-mail my bff and future sister-wife to tell her our husband is just abvout ready for us to come and claim him.
You all can come to our wedding.
Next big headline: “RYAN REYNOLDS EATEN ALIVE BY WIVES, women say they just couldn’t help it.”
I always found her gorgeous and him buffoonish… never understood the pairing, but for opposite reasons from the rest of you, it seems. I wish them both well. It doesn’t sound like this will get messy, which is a relief.
Thanks for all the Breaker High love, people! If anyone can find it on DVD, let me know.
She’d better stay away from MY Benicio Del Toro. And elevators.
I heard the next breakup is David and Posh. I think Ben and Jen are happy.But who knows I thought Eva and Tony were happy, too.
Thanks @Zzzzzzzzzz — “contrived and plastic” describes Reynolds to a T.
She’s made comments in the past about not necessarily believing in monogamy, hasn’t she?
he is so bland.
Come on out of the closet Ryan!!!
