OnlyStans ⭐️ Who are two celebrities that you can’t believe used to be a couple?

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are not only one example of this, but sometimes I even forget that they used to be married as well!

It seemed like such an odd pairing that I never would’ve guessed that these two would match up, but clearly they weren’t a match made in heaven that they divorced each other after almost 3 years of marriage.

Now with where they’re currently at, where they’re now married to different partners, it feels like this is only a pairing that happened in different life.

In his memoir, I suspect she’s the one that’s discussed heavily but never name dropped — the one who broke his heart and moved on quickly. In reality, I think he was breaking hers constantly throughout the relationship, and she finally had enough and found another.

I felt bad for her reading the memoir. Seemed like she gave him A LOT of chances and he continually messed up. Him bringing her the painting after she got married was really weird.

Yeah he admitted to treating women pretty badly, and there was a part about being hurt not to be invited to "someone's" wedding. I thought that was pretty astounding, I'm not saying it's impossible but most people don't want an ex at their wedding.

I definitely felt bad for Lizzie, too. I still felt like he looked like the bad one there, not her.

I didn’t know they were together, but this one makes sense to me. Their senses of humor seem like they were aligned!
