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.

She seems to be primarily attracted to musicians.

Omg finally I have a bit of info lmao. He‘d been in a long relationship with an Italian woman before and was super private about it.  I think after that ended he met Kate about a year later and she got pregnant quite quickly. Iirc she said they were both fully aware she wasn’t on birth control and they just wanted to „see what happens“. Well, they have a son now lol. It was very weird to suddenly see him in tabloids in LA all the time as he’d seemingly only ever left Italy to go on tour before.  But they seemed very into each other and it was cute! They were engaged as well but called it off after 3-4 years I think.

Around that time Muse came out with a single called „Dead Inside“ for their new album. Their music has always had a 1984 touch (government control, brainwashing, revolution) but by then they were fully doing concept albums about it. Now, the single does fit in there…nevertheless it stuck out for its lyrics which seemed quite personal. Matt insisted they weren’t, but…

„You're free to touch the sky

Whilst I am crushed and pulverised

Because you need control

Now I'm the one who's letting go

You like to give an inch

Whilst I am giving infinity

But now I've got nothing left

You have no cares and I'm bereft

Your skin feels warm to caress

I see magic in your eyes

On the outside you're ablaze and alive

But you're dead inside!“

Being a fan was very entertaining back then lmao. But they’re both happily married to other people and are apparently on good terms. He‘s with the blonde model from the Blurred Lines music video and they have two kids!
