Somewhere in the world Ryan Reynolds is smirking just a little. Or maybe it’s just us who gets a little thrill of happiness when we find out an ex breaks up with a new love?
Anyway, 26-year-old Scarlett Johansson (Ryan’s ex-wife for anyone wondering why we’ve mentioned him) is no longer dating Sean Penn. Whispers that all was not well between the couple first surfaced a couple of weeks ago, when Scar-Jo didn’t show up to support Penn in Cannes where the 50-year-old actor was promoting his new movie The Tree Of Life.
It’s thought the pair first got together back in February this year, after being spotted getting flirty at a Black Swan party and then playing footsie during lunch at an LA restaurant. They couldn’t deny they were an item when they took a whirlwind trip to Mexico in March, and soon after rumours that Scarlett was moving in with Sean began to surface. It seems like it's all over now though, no official reason has been given for the split.
