Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds' Divorce Finalized

By Christine Fenno Posted Jul 2nd 2011 11:37AM

Putting an official end to their under-the-radar romance, Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds's divorce became final on Friday, after an out-of-the-blue split late last year.

The final divorce documents were filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court, according to E!.

The pair discreetly dated before exchanging vows in rural wedding outside Vancouver in 2008. They have no children.

"Irreconcilable differences" were cited in court papers, and both have said very little to the press to shed additional light on their relationship or breakup.

While Johansson, 26, rebounded this year with a short-lived fling with Sean Penn, Reynolds insisted in a recent interview, "The media was not invited to my marriage, and they're definitely not invited into the divorce." And the 'Green Lantern' star, 34, did concede, "I don't think I want to get married again."

"Anyone who gets divorced goes through a lot of pain, but you come out of it," Reynolds added. "I'm not out of it yet. At all. But I sense that as I do come through it, there's optimism. How can there not be?"

He explained, "Any kind of crisis can be good. It wakes you up. I gotta say, I'm a different person than I was six months ago."

While the partnership did not result in any children, the former spouses did produce a unique collaboration: A new documentary about a lost orca whale found in a British Columbia waterway, and the contentious debate among locals about the affectionate animal's fate. You can catch a glimpse of 'The Whale' -- executive-produced by the couple, and narrated by Reynolds -- via the trailer, available on the movie's official website.

Yeah, I am sure Alanis Morissette agrees with you Ryan.

The idea that she would bounce to Sean Penn shows that she wasn't worth spending anymore time with.

Maybe that was her way of making Ryan realize there was no way he could want her back?

I don't get the fuss about him; he has a big water head and needs to change his hairdo to cover it.

By LSK

He's simply hot and gorgeous.

By Penn, is a an old Indian word for 'small member.'

That's what she gets for marrying a canadian.

Clearly, you're another casualty of America's feeble education system...or a racist xenophobic scat.

From Hunky Ryan to YUCKY Sean Penn with all his baggage's ...what is wrong with you Scralett??

By Lana

These two look soo good and soo hot together! They should stay together and work out their issues!!!

By JoanneVLavender

Finally! A celebrity couple with grace and dignity and the smarts not to make their private life public fodder for the media troughs.

What Ryan said is true: the media and public weren't invited to the wedding and they are not invited to the divorce.

Maria Shriver, take note! Ah-nuld is behaving with more grace and dignity than you and your mouthpiece are.

awwww, poor Ryan :'(

Good luck to Ryan Reynolds in all he does. Was sort of hoping they could reconcile but after being tainted by wrinkley self-serving blowhole Sean Penn, who would want her back?

By Carl

typical celebrity break-up. It's so easy for these people to just up and move on when they're tired of their current relationship. That's why we see so many celeb divorces.

By anne

Celebrities are narcissist to begin with. You have to be to live in the world of me, me, me. I have to look good, I have to watch what I eat, I have to watch what I wear, I have to be seen with someone hot, I have to... I think the best Hollywood marriages happen when one isn't in the business.

By TTB

Just because they divorced doesn't mean the love wasn't real. I believe they love each other more in their divorce than some couples that are still married.

By celebritards SUX

AWE! Real love! You must be a GIRL.
