Scarlett Johansson And Ryan Reynolds Engaged To Each Other

Scarlett Johansson, daughter of Danish-born architect Karsten Johansson and Melanie Sloan, a producer from the Bronx of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage, has accepted Ryan Reynolds's hand in marriage. The groom-to-be hails from Vancouver, Canada, the son of Tammy Reynolds, a salesperson and career student, and Jim Reynolds, a food wholesaler and former semi-professional boxer.

Ms. Johansson, 23, is a BAFTA-winning and four-time Golden Globe-nominated actress and singer, who first rose to prominence playing a severely traumatized teenage girl in The Horse Whisperer. She later went on to receive critical acclaim for her starring turns in movies like Ghost World, Lost in Translation, and the Woody Allen-helmed Match Point, the last of which would mark the start of a long personal and creative relationship with the legendary director. Most recently, Ms. Johansson has branched out into recording arts as well, releasing an album of Tom Waits songs entitled "Anywhere I Lay My Head." It features a duet with rock icon David Bowie.

The 31-year-old Mr. Reynolds, meanwhile, has earned his own share of success as a leading man of the screen, starring in movies as diverse as The In-Laws, Blade:Trinity, and The Amityville Horror. He is frequently seen shirtless, showing off an athletic physique.

Mr. Reynolds proposed to Ms. Johansson after approximately one year of courtship. While no date has yet been set, a representative for the couple has relayed that they are "both thrilled."

This will be the second engagement for each: Mr. Reynolds was previously engaged to Canadian recording star Alanis Morrissette, while Ms. Johansson announced to shocked reporters last January that she and Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama were also to be wed. Neither engagement produced a marriage.

See Seth, there are options. Like writing engagement announcements for the New York Times.

I am ashamed to admit this, but I loved Ryan in Just Friends. I know, I know.

I always thought Ryan was a 'mo due to GayFace and HotAssBod Syndrome, but last summer I was in Queenstown (no pun intended), New Zealand and did one of these JetBoat touristy things where a speedboat whips you around Lake Wakatipu. After the ride, we were in the gift shop and I saw a picture of Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morrissette posing with their boat "captains". And that's when i decided that no one would carry a beard relationship THAT far. Except maybe Tom Cruise.

P.S. A few days later we did the Sydney Harbour Bridge Climb and there was a picture of Jodie Foster. Posing alone.

If he's not a mo. He's the ultimate square. As she's slept with everyone from Brian Greenburg to Benicio.

And if he's not a MO then he's falling for that square, square move thinking marriage will tame this lass into monogamy.

Hello Reynolds, She's an ACT-RESS!!

What makes you think a silly little ring is going to keep the rest of us from getting in there?

(or did you not get the memo the rest of us get when we move to LA? The one that says to not drink the water, and never, ever, date an actress...)

Writing the announcement in that lofty tone makes this engagement seem much more boring that it actually is. Two pretties coming together! Awesome :)

Seth, please don't ever make me read 4 paragraphs in order to reach your trademark sardonic wit. Sure it was tongue in cheek, but now I'm feeling light-headed. Mama needs a pillow.

@pixie-stix: not as fast as Carey/Cannon, which is the (apparent) land-speed record.

Why Oh Why would anyone marry at the tender age of 23?

Scarlett's Tom Waits cover album is possibly the greatest crime against music since Don Johnson's solo album.

I remember Ryan from Fifteen, a Degrassi spinoff that aired on Nickelodeon in the early 90's. He was awesome! First ScarJo picks one of the greatest singer-songerwriters of all time to cover, now she takes one of the greatest Canadian kid stars of all time to be her lawfully wedded husband.

@Leviticus_71: Heh. "Heartbeat" arrived a full year after Eddie Murphy's own ear/blood musical turn. We'll see how Scarlett fairs. Muahahahahaaha!

I always think of Ryan Reynolds as the slacker from Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place, then I remember that he's also done some films.

I didn't really know either of these two people prior to reading this article - and now that I have - I'd like to keep it that way :)

@TryThisAtHome: RIGHT?? Plus you know she has a freak flag. Not sure about him though. I guess we will wait to read about it in the divorce papers.

Quoted from Wikipedia-"...Johansson says she does not believe in monogamy, and has said that it is not human nature to be with just one person..."

Hmmm, I'll give the marriage 2 weeks before someone gets tired.

@heidiho:

Don't be ashamed...I love "Just Friends" too...

And since Johansson dosen't believe in monogamy...I wonder if she and he will be Swingers?

Better update that AFF profile!

I've got $10 saying they never make it down the aisle.

Ryan's gonna catch her in the lift with another older, scruffier actor, and realize that he should stick to his fellow Canadians.
