Scarlett Johansson, the Hollywood icon known for her bold statement that "monogamy is unnatural," is currently on her third journey down the aisle, having recently become engaged to Colin Jost, a writer for "Saturday Night Live."
In a candid interview with Playboy magazine shortly after parting ways with French journalist Romain Dauriac, the father of her daughter Rose Dorothy, Scarlett Johansson shared her thoughts on the romantic concept of marriage. She stated, "The idea of marriage is very romantic, it is a very beautiful idea, and its practice can be a very beautiful thing. But I don't think it is natural to be a monogamous person. I may be criticized for this."
In the February 2017 issue of the magazine, Scarlett delved into her views on love, marriage, and motherhood, highlighting the substantial effort required in maintaining a marriage. She emphasized that this effort is a testament to the idea that monogamy might not align with our instincts, though she still respects the institution.
Despite her reservations about marriage, Scarlett Johansson is now gearing up for her third wedding. Last May, she accepted Colin Jost's proposal, one of the prominent writers behind the legendary comedy show, Saturday Night Live (SNL). Marcel Pariseau, Scarlett's publicist, confirmed the engagement, but the couple had not yet set a wedding date.
What's already in place is a remarkable engagement ring, which Scarlett showcased at the San Diego Comic-Con. The ring, featuring an impressive 11-carat diamond valued at over USD 400,000, attracted significant attention.
A few months before their engagement, sources reported to People magazine about the chemistry and shared interests between Colin and Johansson, revealing that they were deeply in love. Scarlett's most recent romantic chapter with Colin unfolded in the same year as her separation from Romain. Their breakup was made public in January 2017, followed by divorce proceedings in March, legal separation in September, and the revelation of her relationship with Colin in November at the Natural History Museum gala in New York.
Scarlett Johansson's history of relationships indicates a pattern of intensity. Her marriage to Ryan Reynolds, which began in 2008 and ended in separation in December 2010, highlighted the complexities of two actors navigating their careers and competition within their relationship.
When asked about the end of her first marriage, Scarlett disclosed, "Living with another actor is complicated. There has to be a real understanding of how you share your time, especially when both people's careers are going at the same pace. Or even if the other person is more successful than the other, which becomes a challenge."
During her time with Reynolds, an incident involving photographs that were leaked on the internet drew attention. Scarlett clarified that she had sent them to her husband, asserting that there was no harm in doing so.
Scarlett's relationship history also includes a romance with Josh Hartnett in 2005, following her rise to fame in "Lost In Translation." Their work schedules played a role in their eventual breakup in 2006.
After the end of her marriage with Reynolds, Scarlett was briefly linked to Sean Penn in the spring of 2011, though their relationship didn't last long. According to reports, it was Scarlett who pursued a more serious relationship, while Penn preferred something less committed.
In October 2012, Scarlett revealed a new man in her life, French journalist Romain Dauriac. They met in Paris through mutual friends and quickly fell in love. Their relationship led to an engagement in September 2013 and a secret wedding a year later, shortly after the birth of their daughter Rose.
During this time, Scarlett spoke about her approach to relationships, emphasizing the need to embrace the complexities and differences between partners, acknowledging that setting unrealistic standards can be detrimental.
However, Scarlett and Romain's love story concluded a couple of years later, with their separation being officially announced in January 2017. Scarlett swiftly rebounded, beginning a relationship with Colin Jost, which began with casual outings and eventually blossomed into something more profound.
