EXCLUSIVE: Ryan Reynolds Pulled Plug on Marriage

Today, the New York Daily News examines why Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson split up, and in the process the paper makes a few notable errors.

Picking up on a story from E!, the tabloid reports that Blake Lively - Reynolds’ Green Lantern costar – “may have led him astray,” and that there were “rumblings that everything wasn’t exactly up to wedding vow snuff” with Reynolds and Lively on the film’s set.

Whoa!

The Daily News also writes, “It wasn’t until the end of last month, when Reynolds returned to the city from Los Angeles, that Johansson told him she wanted a divorce.”

According to a so-called “source” for the paper, “Reynolds wasn’t ready [to get a divorce] and told her they ‘should avoid it at all costs.’”

So, did Reynolds stray with Lively?

Absolutely NOT.

“There was no cheating on either part,” says a source close to Reynolds and Johansson. And a source close to Lively assures Gossip Cop that talk of the “Gossip Girl” star and Reynolds ever hooking up is ”150 percent untrue.”

Additionally, contrary to the News‘ contention, our insider reveals “Ryan was the one to pull the plug” on the marriage, though ultimately it was “a mutual decision.”

While less sexy than allegations of infidelity, the real reason Johansson and Reynolds split, says our impeccable source, was that “they grew apart because of distance.”

    It’s always sad when a marriage falls apart. I wish the both of them all the best.

    They are getting divorced because both of them are to into what they want to create a marriage. They have barely been married two years are you going to tell me they saw each other all the time while they were dating. Grow up and realize life is about keeping commitments. It’s easy to get a divorce and hard to keep a marriage together but it will be that way when they get with someone else. Let’s see how long it takes before one of them start dating.

    Blake Lively truly has NOTHING on my girl Scarlett (no homo) ..so if Ryan found someone as average as Blake hard to resist, Scarlett should serve him his walking papers. He may be a cutie pie up close ..but he’s not photogemic from afar, 4sure. He was very fortunate to luck up on someone as beautiful, talented, classy & sweet as Scarlett. We never hear anything negative about her on the vine & unlike many of those female stars & celebs ..she is not an attention w(hore)

    I’m not buying that worn out excuse about distance. I’ve been separated from someone I love for 5 years and my feelings have not changed or ‘gone away’. Military families, all kinds of families deal with separation and don’t leave their relationships. I think there’s more to this split than ‘distance’. Initially they both said they were marrying ‘their best friend’. Hummm Go figure. I was happy for them, now I’m not.
