But before all that, Reynolds and Johansson were married for two years.
While it’s great that they’ve each moved on and found love again, why the split?
It turns out that it could be down to timing and maturity.
Johansson toldVanity Fair"I mean, the first time I got married I was 23 years old.
I didn’t really have an understanding of marriage.
Maybe I kind of romanticized it, I think, in a way."
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" (viaPeople).
Online), saying “The logistics of being with another actor are challenging.
Or even if one person is more successful than the other, that also proves challenging.
There may be a competitive thing.”

All those kind of in-between feelings that the character has.
I understood them because I had gone through them myself."
And it sounds like it was an easy decision at the time.
“I never really thought about getting married it just kind of happened.
It seemed natural, the right thing to do.
It was kind of a celebration of the time,” Johansson toldGlamourin an interview.
“They’re both strong-willed and stubborn people.
There was a lack of warmth between them, that was troubling” (viaDaily Mail).
The source also said of the couple that “He can be an overbearing control freak.
He’s more traditional and she’s more independent …
When he wanted her there, he expected her to drop everything and come to him.
She got tired of the double standard.”
“Relationships are complicated, and being married is a living, breathing process.
I think I was not fully aware of the peaks and valleys.
I wasn’t prepared to hunker down and do the work.
Both of us were extremely busy.
We spent so much time apart.
It’s very difficult.”
“But you always re-evaluate these things,” he told Details.
“Any kind of crisis can be good.
It wakes you up.
I gotta say, I’m a different person than I was six months ago.
I’m not out of it yet.
But I sense that as I do come through it, there’s optimism.
How can there not be?”

The marriage was the first for both Johansson and Reynolds.
Reynolds had previously been engaged to Canadian singer Alanis Morissette from 2005 to early 2007 (fromUS Weekly).
