Scarlett Johansson Hints That Competing Careers Ended Marriage To Ryan Reynolds

Scarlett Johansson seemed to suggest that her marriage to Ryan Reynolds ended in part due to their competitiveness when it came to their respective careers.

Johansson, 31, is currently happily married to journalist and art dealer Romain Dauriac. But, a few years before that, she was married to Deadpool’s Reynolds. While talking about the pitfalls of being in a relationship with another actor, Johansson seemed to be offering a hint at what happened in her marriage with Reynolds.

“The logistics of being with another actor are challenging. There has to be a real understanding of how you share your time, especially when two people’s careers are going at the same rate,” Johansson told Cosmopolitan. “Or even if one person is more successful than the other; that also proves challenging. There may be a competitive thing.”

Johansson and Reynolds were married from 2008 to 2011. Since then, Johansson married Dauriac, with whom she has daughter Rose. And Reynolds has married Gossip Girl star Blake Lively, with whom he welcomed daughter James.

Incidentally, Reynolds is not the only former flame that Johansson seemed to reference in her recent interview with Cosmo. It’s also speculated that Johansson was referring to ex-boyfriend Jared Leto while talking about hitting “rock bottom” in a relationship.

“Long, long ago, I had someone in my life who was forever unavailable… but, like, so attractively unavailable,” Johansson said. “You have to get to your breaking point — rock bottom is the moment when you’re like, ‘I’ve lost myself. Why am I standing outside this bar at 1:30 in the morning texting while my friends are inside? Or taking a taxi to see him at some ungodly hour? This isn’t me.’ That is the moment you’ve gotta cut it off. Otherwise, it will keep coming back, suck your blood.”
