Talk about real-life romance! Colin Jost confessed that he “ruined through 12 dumpsters” looking for Scarlett Johansson’s engagement ring—only to find it sitting in her pocket all along.

After 2 divorces, I still believe in love”.

The list of the most successful female stars in the past decade in Hollywood can be missing any name, except Scarlett Johansson. As a beauty icon of 21st century Hollywood, Scarlett Johansson is by no means a mobile vase.

The American star’s acting ability can “carry” all genres of films, from psychological to fantasy, action; some famous works in which Scarlett Johansson plays the main role include: Marriage Story, Black Widow, Avengers,…

Scarlett Johansson has almost everything in her hands: Fame, money, beauty. Only her love life is always bumpy and difficult.

Always take the blame for two broken marriages

In 2008, the public was shocked by the news that Scarlett Johansson and Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds were engaged. Just one year later, the two famous stars walked down the aisle holding hands. Both Scarlett and Ryan were determined to keep their love affair as private as possible.

The Avengers star shared: “I always try to keep everything to myself to have a truly private life.”

It was thought that the handsome couple would go a long way together, but the busy schedules of Hollywood stars did not allow them to do that. After getting married, both Scarlett and Ryan buried themselves in work, devoting all their time to their careers and neglecting their small families.

Scarlett admitted: “We don’t have time to date and rekindle our love. Every day passes quickly with the same scenario: Go to work, then go home alone. Before one person can go home, the other person has already fallen asleep because he is too tired.”

In December 2010 – 2 years after living together, Ryan proactively filed for divorce and made an official announcement to the media: “After careful consideration, we have come to the final decision to divorce.

Both of us came together with the most sincere and pure feelings. So now, Scarlett and I will use love and forgiveness to let each other go.”

The divorce announcement was made at a time when Scarlett was at the peak of her career, the number one “action girl” in Hollywood, and was honored as the sexiest woman on the planet. When Scarlett thought she had everything in her hands, becoming the happiest woman in the world, life immediately took away her love and family happiness.

At that time, Scarlett kept completely silent about all the rumors about Ryan’s change of heart. Only later, in a 2014 interview with Vanity Fair, did she share: “I think I romanticized marriage too much and ended up making myself miserable. Marriage shouldn’t be a battle of two big egos. There has to be a real understanding of how two people spend time together, especially when both are at the same level in their careers. Or if one person is more successful than the other, that’s also a challenge.”

3 years after her first marriage broke up, Scarlett secretly married French journalist Romain Dauriac. She thought that married life with someone “outside the industry” would help her find peace. However, in 2015 – after 2 years of living together, Scarlett suddenly filed for divorce from Romain when they already had a little daughter together.

Sharing about the cause of the breakup, both said they broke up because of irreconcilable conflicts due to differences in life views.

Not long after going their separate ways with Romain, the movie Marriage Story starring Scarlett was released. Many people believe that it was her somewhat sad personal life that helped Scarlett play the role of a wife who was bored with her husband in a way that couldn’t be more perfect.

Faith creates happiness in the third marriage

It was 4 years after her second marriage broke up that Scarlett found love again. She got engaged to her boyfriend Colin Jost – an American actor and writer in May 2019 and officially got married in October 2020.

Unlike Scarlett, this is Colin’s first marriage. The actor once shared that he used to feel “scared” when thinking about marriage, but that was only before meeting Scarlett.

“I was afraid of marriage for a long time because whenever I talked to someone who was newly married, they advised me to get married soon, it would be fun. But if I talked to someone who had been married for more than 5 years, they advised me to stay single, why rush” – The actor shared humorously.

However, with what Colin showed after meeting Scarlett, it can be seen that she completely changed his mind, proving how important “the right person at the right time” is.

Scarlett was proposed to by Colin on stage at the San Diego Comic-Con film fair with an 11-carat diamond ring worth 400,000 USD (about 9.3 billion VND).

Scarlett once confided that it was an extremely unexpected and romantic moment: “He is a charming, thoughtful and romantic person, but I was still very surprised. Even if you imagine what it would be like, it was still a great moment.”

In 2021, in an interview, the actor couple affirmed that the period of social distancing due to the pandemic gave them more confidence in being able to accompany each other for a long time: “Being together 24/7 for 4 months and still getting along made us believe that this was a good sign, giving us more confidence in being able to build a sustainable marriage together.”

In the same interview, Scarlett said she has never lost faith in love: “I still love building a family and working for my own family. I think it’s great, I’ve always wanted it. It’s just that in the past, I didn’t find the right person. ”

I’m a lot different now. I think I can make more good choices.”
