So Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson’s split came as a surprise to almost no one. We knew they weren’t together often and there were rumors of trouble for some time. Now comes the speculation about how and why the broke up exactly. The distance was a major factor from what we’re hearing, but we’ve also heard rumors that Ryan was screwing around, maybe with Blake Lively or with some unnamed ex girlfriend. People now has an article on how and why Ryan and ScarJo are finished, and it sounds like the official line from their publicists (disguised as an ‘insider story’ as is People’s MO) is that they just “grew apart” due to incompatible work schedules.
Here’s the PR-sanctioned version from People:
Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson, who announced Tuesday that they have split up, simply grew apart under the strain of managing two thriving careers, a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE.
“There’s no third party,” says the source, who adds that the pair made the decision to end their marriage about a month ago. “Ryan and Scarlett had been having some issues for a few months now. Distance and their careers played a big role. When you don’t spend a lot of time with your partner you grow apart.”
Reynolds, 34 and Johansson, 26, were married in 2008. Recently, they had “started to lead different lives, and it was harder and harder to come back together and pick up where they left off,” the source says. “Scarlett was young when they married. She’s a mature person but at points they were just on different pages.”
Reynolds, who is filming a movie in Atlanta, and Johansson, who is currently in Jamaica with some girlfriends, remain firmly on good terms, the source says. “They had an intense and loving relationship, and they’ll always love and respect each other.”
