Scarlett Johansson’s character, ‘Black Widow’, and Ryan Reynolds’ character, ‘Deadpool’, share two connections. Firstly, they are both Marvel Comics characters. Secondly, the actors who portrayed them were previously married. Ryan Reynold and Scarlett Johansson were together for three years before calling it quits in 2010.
Reynolds and Johansson were rumoured to be a couple after Reynolds ended his engagement with fellow Canadian actress, Alanis Morissette, in 2007. People magazine reported in May 2008 that Reynolds and Johansson were engaged. Four months later, the couple got married at a wilderness retreat in Vancouver Island, Canada. This was the first marriage for both the actors. Unfortunately, their marriage did not last long, and they eventually decided to part ways in 2010. They released an official statement announcing the same. The statement mentioned:
“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.”
