Ryan Reynolds received the coveted ‘Sєxiest Man Alive’ тιтle from People magazine in 2010. He received the тιтle the same week as his ex-wife, Scarlett Johansson, received the ‘Babe of the Year’ тιтle from GQ magazine. Reynolds also starred in a stylish cover shoot for People. At the time, the Free Guy actor humorously remarked that his achievement didn’t seem to matter much to Johansson.
Rumors of troubles in their relationship started circulating in March 2010. Both Reynolds and Johansson publicly denied such rumors and urged the media to stop speculating about their private life. Reynolds was crowned Sєxiest Man in November 2010, and in December, the couple formally announced their divorce. The Adam Project actor shared in his official statement (via NY Post):
“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.”
The exact reason for the split remains unknown, however, the Marriage Story actress has hinted that things did not work out between them because of their careers. Johansson went on to marry two more times and is currently happily married to SNL Weekend Update host Colin Jost. Meanwhile, Reynolds shares a loving marriage with Blake Lively, and they are very active on social media.
