 The news has stunned friends."No one had any idea this was coming," a friend of Johansson's tells PopEater. "They kept their private life so secret that I doubt we will ever really know what went wrong."Johansson, 26, began dating Reynolds, 34, in 2007. They tied the knot a year later in an intimate ceremony at a Canadian retreat. They have split time between an apartment in Manhattan and in August, it was reported they purchased a $2.8 million home in Los Angeles.The incredibly good-looking pair (he was just named PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive ; she, GQ's Babe of the Year ) have closely guarded their privacy since they began dating and rarely speak of each other in interviews. Photographs of them together are few and far between.That said, the 'Iron Man 2' beauty opened up slightly about married life in an InStyle interview earlier this year."You're married and suddenly you have your own family," she said. "There's a nice comfort in that. That part of your life is certain, in a way. You've got your home in that other person."Hollywood has seen a spate of celebrity breakups as of late. In the past two months alone, Eva Longoria, Elizabeth Hurley, Michael C. Hall, Christina Aguilera and Courteney Cox have all split from their significant others. ||||| Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds Spotted on Dinner Date: Are They Reuniting?

 The dinner was so friendly, in fact, that Johannson, 26, and Reynolds, 34, were seen "smiling and laughing the whole time."Busy work schedules in different cities has been cited as one of the main reasons the marriage faltered (not that anyone close to the couple seems to know the full story: a friend of Scarlett's told PopEater this week, "No one had any idea this was coming"). Nevertheless, with Reynolds in New York for a photo shoot during a break from shooting 'The Change Up' (a comedy co-starring Olivia Wilde and Jason Bateman) in Atlanta, he and Johansson clearly wanted to find quality time to see each other.Johansson, who recently returned from a vacation in Jamaica with friends, married 'Green Lantern' star Reynolds in 2008 in a hush-hush ceremony in Canada. The couple have no children. ||||| Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window) 
 
 Just as Scarlett Johansson says that her marriage to actor Ryan Reynolds was “the best thing I ever did,” reports say that she is “pissed” Reynolds has moved on to “Gossip Girl” actress Blake Lively. 
 
 Page Six sources say that Lively and Reynolds are looking for an apartment together. And a source tells Us Weekly that Johansson is not happy that Reynolds’ relationship with Lively, his co-star in “Green Lantern,” appears to be progressing so quickly. 
 
 BLAKE AND RYAN PLAY HOUSE 
 
 “Scarlett is pissed that he’s not under her spell anymore,” the source squeals. “Ryan would have gotten back with her. He was so totally in love, but then she flaunted Sean right after their split, and he was done.” 
 
 The fact that Johansson and Reynolds were still married while he filmed “Green Lantern” with Lively in New Orleans probably doesn’t help. The film wrapped in August 2010, while Johansson and Reynolds didn’t announce their split until December of the same year. Their divorce was finalized last July. 
 
 Johansson certainly sounds wistful about her defunct marriage in the new issue of Cosmopolitan, calling it “the best thing I ever did.” 
 
 “I’m a big believer that when something feels right, you should do it,” the blonde bombshell shares. “I’m a big believer in instinct. Getting married was the right thing to do because it was natural. It grew out of a romance and love and a desire to have a future with somebody and I was very fortunate that I married somebody who turned out to be the person I thought he would be.” 
 
 But she also shares what went wrong. 
 
 “Relationships are complicated and being married is a living, breathing process,” she says. “I think I was not fully aware of the peaks and valleys. I wasn’t prepared to hunker down and do the work … Both of us were extremely busy. We spent so much time apart.” 
 
 The actress, who is rumored to be casually dating Joseph Gordon-Levitt, puts a happy face on life after Reynolds. 
 
 “I’ve never been single for a chunk of time before,” she says. “You miss having a partner and a confidant, but I have to say, I’m appreciating having the time to get to know myself.”
– So much for ending their marriage with “love and kindness”: A source happily dishes to Us that Ryan Reynolds would often say Scarlett Johansson “treated him badly” before their split. And while Reynolds was “beyond sad and depressed” about the breakup, says another friend, Johansson “was disconnected and disaffected. It was harsh.” Even so, the pair was recently spotted having dinner together, and PopEater notes that the goal of the dinner was accomplished—click to see what it was.
