Hollywood’s former couple Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are making headlines again, years after their low-profile split, as Reynolds’ current wife, Blake Lively, becomes entangled in a legal battle with co-star Justin Baldoni.
Although Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are often seen as one of the most stable couples in Hollywood today, fans are revisiting Reynolds’ past with Scarlett Johansson as the controversy unfolds.
Johansson and Reynolds began dating in 2007 shortly after Reynolds ended his engagement with singer Alanis Morissette. By May 2008, the couple were engaged and soon tied the knot in a private ceremony in Vancouver, Canada. Their marriage, however, remained mostly out of the public eye and was short-lived.
Due to hectic work schedules and frequent time apart, their relationship began to strain. The couple announced their split in 2010, and their divorce was finalized in 2011. Scarlett later revealed she was just 23 at the time and wasn’t fully prepared for the responsibilities that came with marriage.
Now, both actors are trending again as Lively accuses her It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni of misconduct. According to reports, Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, claiming he entered her trailer uninvited while she was partially undressed and behaved inappropriately during a scripted kiss scene.
In response, Baldoni has filed a countersuit against both Lively and Reynolds, alleging defamation. He claims their team intentionally tried to tarnish his reputation and is seeking $400 million in damages.
This high-stakes legal battle has reignited public interest in Reynolds’ personal life, especially his past with Johansson. As the case continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the accusations and counterclaims will impact the careers and public images of those involved.
For now, fans and media alike are watching closely as the drama surrounding Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni deepens—and as Scarlett and Ryan find themselves back in the spotlight once more.
