Scarlett Johansson in Vogue, Talks Ryan Reynolds

Scarlett Johansson covers the latest issue of Vogue and tells the mag that she’s still not over Ryan Reynolds even though she dated Sean Penn even before their divorce was finalized.

Johansson describes it as “comically amicable,” but the parting was far from painless. “It was horrible,” she says. “Of course it’s horrible. It was devastating. It really throws you. You think that your life is going to be one way, and then, for various reasons or whatever, it doesn’t work out.

“This was something I never thought I would be doing,” she continues. “And there’s no way to navigate it. Nobody can give you the right answer. It’s never anything you want to hear. It’s a very lonely thing. It’s like the loneliest thing you’ll ever do, in some way.”

She says she is still recovering and doesn’t pretend the divorce is fully in the rearview. “I don’t feel on the other side of it completely, but it gets better,” she says. “It’s still there. More than anything, it’s just that not having your buddy around all the time is weird. There’s no rule book. I think it’s just time.”

Granted, Ryan Reynolds probably put that divorce in his rear view when he saw that photo of Scarlett with her foot in Sean Penn’s crotch and read about how they sickeningly made out at the White House Correspondents Dinner. It’s probably why he rebounded with Blake Lively who seems like a lot of “fun.”
