Johansson was then married to French journalist Romain Dauriac from 2014 to 2017 and tied the knot with actor and author Colin Jost in 2020.

"I mean, the first time I got married I was 23 years old," she said, referring to her relationship with Reynolds. "I didn’t really have an understanding of marriage. Maybe I kind of romanticized it, I think, in a way."

"It’s a different part of my life now," she continued. "I feel like I’m in a place in my life, I feel I’m able to make more active choices. I’m more present, I think, than I’ve been before."

Reynolds also seems to have found his soulmate in his wife Blake Lively, whom he married in 2012.

The Green Lantern star shares four daughters with Lively, while Johansson shares a daughter with Dauriac and a son with Jost.
