Scarlett Johansson Seemingly Calls Ryan Reynolds Marriage ‘Complicated’ After Defending ‘Supportive’ Justin Baldoni

Colin Jost (2017 – present)

Johansson and Jost met in 2006 when the Black Widow star hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time and the comedian had just been hired as a writer. They didn’t date until May 2017 when they were seen kissing at SNL’s season 41 finale party. ScarJo had returned to SNL that May for a cameo. The couple confirmed their relationship on the red carpet in November 2017.

The couple got engaged in May 2019 after two years of marriage, and announced that they had gotten married in a secret wedding in October 2020. In July 2021, news broke that Jost and Johansson were expecting their first child together, which is why ScarJo had to miss press for her movie, Black Widow, at the time. “Scarlett is pregnant but has been keeping it very quiet. She has been keeping a very low profile,” an insider told Page Six. “She hasn’t been doing many interviews or events to promote Black Widow, which is surprising since it is a huge Marvel/Disney release and she is both the star and an executive producer.”

Johannson is a frequent host at the sketch comedy show and was present from when her husband and his Weekend Update co-host Michael Che do their annual joke exchanges. Che set up a joke for Jost to read that was about the Black Widow star’s private parts being compared to roast beef. “Costco has removed the roast beef sandwich from its menu. But I ain’t trippin’. I’ve been eating roast beef every night since my wife had the kid.”

“It was so vulgar,” Johansson recalled to InStyle. The producers filmed her reaction in real time. “I just can’t believe that they went there. I was like—it was so gross. It was really gross.” She starts laughing. “And, like, old-school gross.”

“My experience of it was so funny.” She was given a heads-up about a vagina joke, but didn’t think it would be about hers. “I was like, I mean, it’s a vagina joke, how bad could it be? And then as soon as the Costco photo came up, I was like No! No, Michael!

Jost, on the other hand, was mortified by the experience. “I’m in trouble, I think, with a lot of people. Scarlett was genuinely so shocked,” Jost said on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon. “Because I was obviously surprised by everything, but they gave her a heads-up.”

Romain Duriac (2012 – 2017)

Dauriac, a French journalist, and Johansson sparked dating rumors in October 2012 after they were seen on a date in New York City. The former couple married at the Ranch in Rock Creek in Philipsburg, Montana, in October 2014, and welcomed a daughter named Rose Dorothy that same year. The two split in January 2017 after two years of marriage.

Sean Penn (2011)

Johansson and Penn confirmed their relationship at Reese Witherspoon’s wedding to Jim Toth in May 20211. However, the couple split in June of that year. A source told Us Weekly at the time that Penny wasn’t looking for anything “serious” after his divorce from Robin Wright. Wright and Penn split in 2010 after 14 years of marriage.

Ryan Reynolds (2007 – 2011)

Reynolds and Johansson started dating in 2007. The former couple married in 2008 and finalized their divorce in 2011. In a statement in December 2010, Johansson and Reynolds confirmed their split after two years of marriage. “We entered our relationship with love, and it’s with love and kindness that we leave it,” the former couple said in a joint statement at the time. A year after he finalized his divorce with Johansson, Reynolds remarried to Blake Lively, whom he met on the set of the 2011 movie Green Lantern. The couple shares three kids: daughters James, Inez and Betty.

After their contentious legal battle with Justin Baldoni, Scarlett Johansson opened up about being in a relationship with someone in the acting industry. “I also think it’s easy to create a lot of jealousy when a person is not involved in the industry, because actors by nature are very free-spirited and they create very intimate relationships with people at work,” she said in an Interview piece. “They can be loyal to a partner and also very engaged in all these other kinds of relationships, and I think it can be a blurry line for some people.”

“Also, to have a relationship with the public can be a complicated thing for people outside of the industry to understand,” Johansson added.

Johansson, who worked with Baldoni’s production company Wayfarer Studios for her movie Eleanor the Great, told Vanity Fair that the It Ends With Us director’s studio was “super supportive throughout the process,” but that it was “such weird timing.”

Josh Hartnett (2006 – 2007)

Johansson and Hartnett, who starred together in 2006’s The Black Dahlia, started dating the same year their movie was released. Their relationship lasted for more than a year until the former couple split in 2007.  “At the end of the day we’re just ordinary people, and it didn’t work,” he told the Mirror UK at the time. The insider also noted that the breakup was “really painful.”

Jack Antonoff (2001)

Johansson and Antonoff go way back. The two dated from 2001 to 2002 while attending the Professional Children’s School in New York City. Antonoff even took Johansson to prom, according to Us Weekly.
