A week ago, we learned that Scarlett Johansson and Romain Dauriac had separated and would likely be headed towards divorce. The news wasn’t some huge bombshell – they didn’t seem to have anything in common, Scarlett didn’t seem happy living in Paris and their whole relationship just seemed like one giant question mark. That being said, no one expected much drama from the split. Hours after People Magazine confirmed their separation, Romain and ScarJo were photographed together at some event, and they looked chummy and happy. So what really went down behind-the-scenes? First off, Us Weekly’s “insider” dished last week:
“Scarlett initiated splitting up and made the decision,” the insider tells Us, explaining that “she felt like they didn’t have much in common as far as lifestyle.” Differences aside though, the exes “have an amicable relationship” and plan to co-parent their 2-year-old daughter, Rose, the insider tells Us. ”She feels blessed to have a daughter,” the source adds.
Which is pretty much what I assumed anyway – Scarlett was done and she called it quits, but there are no hard feelings and she’ll always care about Romain because they have a daughter together. So what else is there to say? People Mag has a new piece about how ScarJo moves through men:
“Scarlett has a habit of falling for a guy and moving really fast,” a source tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “She has intense relationships,” the insider notes of Johansson.
“I’ve been expecting this for some time,” says a source in Dauriac’s circle. “Romain and Scarlett never made sense to me. They aren’t equal. There’s always been something wrong with this picture.”
Does Scarlett move fast? That quote made me think of her crazy relationship with Sean Penn several years ago. It felt like she was really into him (or really into ham, dealer’s choice) and it was super-intense and passionate and then… it was over. I don’t think it’s so much that Scarlett moves fast as she moves on quickly, you know? I think when she’s done with someone, she’s done and she’s ready for the next guy. So is Scarlett a man-eater or does she just want that reputation?

“or really into ham, dealer’s choice”
LOL
Yes — just came here to doff my hat to Kaiser for the ham remark. My sudden, barky LOL scared the EFF out of my dog, who until that moment was sleeping peacefully with her chin on my leg. Hope you’re proud of yourself for disturbing an innocent dog’s sleep with your evil wit, Kaiser.
I heard they broke up because she wanted to move back to the States and dedicate herself to helping victims of the Bowling Green Massacre.
I really admire that.
Haha.
I heard she died in the masscere! #RIPScarJo #PrayForBowlingGreen #AlwaysForget #NeverRemember
This made me spit my tea!! 😀
Hahahaha!!
Me too, except replace guy with Dog.
This! 😀 Dogs before hogs any day.
Maybe now he will slow down, after two divorces.
Sounds immature. They were dating for several years, why is it after having a child they realise they aren’t a good fit? What happened during their dating years then? Are some people that desperate for a child they rather go through with having one instead of waiting for a better match to minimise the chances of a break-up?
Who cares about Scarlett’s penchant for moving on quickly when there’s a child involved? If you have a child with somebody, especially with somebody who’s not even from your country, you think twice before breaking things off. They have a business in Paris too so how do you co-parent a toddler when each remain in their own country? It’s clear all these American celebs that find love in France (or Europe however you look at it), are only temporarily into the idea of overturning their whole life for Love and then they move back and pick up their lives as if they didn’t just bring a child into this whole mess (however amicable the separation, custody can turn nasty).
Didn’t Natalie Portman rave about Paris before running back to the US too? Some of these people live too much in a fantasy world, it distorts reality. I guess they have the money to live that way and to pay for the court when custody turns nasty.
“Are some people that desperate for a child they rather go through with having one instead of waiting for a better match to minimise the chances of a break-up?”
Sadly, yes.
I have a friend who at 35 got tired of waiting around for her partner of 8 years to be financially stable to have a baby, so she found the next man she could and proceeded to have two kids with him—the first one was created 3 months into the relationship. He has been to jail multiple times, does drugs, but she doesn’t care..her end goal was kids and she felt she was on borrowed time. Some people want children and don’t care who it is with, as long as their end goal is reached.
Except they didn’t date for several years before having a kid. They got engaged less than a year after they started dating. And then the next year their kid was born.
All of that is predicated on the idea that you can plan your procreation to a T. Even in the day and age of birth control, surprises happen. We don’t know what their relationship is like, and for all we do know it could be better to break things off while they’re still amicable than try to stay together and make each other miserable.
I get that, but they started a business very recently together too. Babies can just ‘happen’, businesses though? Even with all her money, that’s something that had to be thought about, planned, crafted and executed over a period of time (right before their marriage collapsed).
Considering that according to her timeline the business opened after the split, it sounds like it’s an amicable split. Though really, how much is she doing with a popcorn shop aside from seed money?
If she is a man-eater and likes it, what is the problem? Scarlett is free to do whatever she wants.
ITA why are women STILL labeled with this bullcrap?
thank you.
who cares? is she hurting anyone? doing sth very scary and illegal? i am so sick of everything.
I enjoy the label man-eater.
I think she just gets bored easily though, I don’t think she’s a man-eater per se.
Anyone who always does the breaking up, or always has the upper hand in a relationship, isn’t fully investing in a partnership.
Me and you both *cheers* Men are part of a nutritious and Balance Breakfast
Also In shallow Notes Her hair is DIVINE to me
“I eat boys up, breakfast and lunch
Then when I’m thirsty, I drink their blood
Carnivore, animal, I am a cannibal
I eat boys up, you better run”
Kesha may be my spirit animal.
Men say slut when they think they can’t get it, but someone else is, and man-eater when they are scared if they got it, they couldn’t handle it.
If ScarJo gets what she wants, and is honest the whole way through, I am not gonna judge. Get it girl.
Which shot of her hair? I like her with either less roots and short, her features can carry a bold look.
I think she would also look excellent in one of those bobs, like what Khloe K was wearing for awhile.
Maybe she is just trying to figure it out – like the rest of us. It’s sad that they split because there is a child involved – but it’s great that they are being grownups about it. ASIDE: I can’t get over how different he looks with and without hair.
I hope she is mature enough to raise her daughter. I guess they have a nanny for that.
I always see red when a female is referred to as a man eater. WTF?
Men go through women and they’re studly sex gods. But a woman is a man eater or whore or get slut shamed. This labeling needs to end. Especially now with the ass hats wanting to take charge of our vaginas 🙁
A man-eater? Come on now. Good for them for mantaining a good relationship.
If she really does just move on fast without a lot of emotional turmoil–I want some of that.
Yeah… me too…
+1
Sean Penn dumping her shook her. Penn then ungallantly clamed she was following him around at some party post split (!!) When those two really belonged together. #birdsofagrossfeather
Plus how she was always talking about her marriage to Reynolds when he moved on to Blake Lively yet previously said how she wasn’t as invested. Carry that baggage girl.
And the fact that she dated soooo many douchebags.
I don’t believe for one second she moves on quick. I think when somebody treats her like his equal, she gets bored and her fickle nature pops up and she’s outta there. If she dates another high-maintenance douche who talks himself up (while doing nothing noteworthy) or disses her post-relationship, then she’s a sucker for terrible relationships, I’m calling it now because she seems to have a type and Dauriac and Reynolds don’t fit that type.
I think she looks better with long hair.
Don’t all of them in Hollywood move fast? Who moves slow in that town?
Am I the only one who really hates her hair?
No, I think Nick Carter regrets she copied his 90’s style too 😛
I’m having weird feelings about ‘too bad, its sad for the kids’.
Is it? Isn’t it better for kids to be shown how to leave an unhappy relationship? How to value themselves?
Studies have shown kids don’t care if they have two mommies, two daddies whatever. They need 3 people to count on for optimal security.
I dunno, I guess I feel that kids are better off if the relationship ends, rather than modelling an unhappy relationship for them.
ITA. I’ve seen so many relationships where both parties were desperately unhappy, but stuck it out ‘for the kids’ because there’s this perception that the traditional nuclear family is best and there’s still stigma around divorce. Except the kids always knew, and it often affected their relationships well into adulthood too. Getting out is sometimes the best thing for everyone if it’s managed well. Co-parenting across countries must be pretty challenging though.
I’m rooting for this chick to find a man who will cherish her and not be intimidated by Scarlett Johansson, the brand. Love her,
Eh, as a fellow Scorpio…we always fall hard, and fast. I have two switches, on or off, and if it’s ‘on’ it’s 100%, call and text me every day, I want to spend all my time with you, etc. It may be a stereotype but I think there’s some truth to it – we’re intense (and I try to warn the men I date and then three weeks into it they’re all – whoa! You *are* intense!). And when I’m the one who ends it – I’m done. Over. It’s clear and clean. If he ends it…it can take me years to get over a guy 🙁
I’m a Pisces and I tend to fall hard and fast too, but I tend to end things quickly as well, or suddenly just not feel it anymore. I met a man a few months ago who blew me away and I am still hung up on him even though we never dated, just flirted. The way he looked at me no man has ever looked at me before like that and it shook me to my core. I hope I find someone similar, my match at some point.
I fall extremely hard and very fast and I’m a Gemini! Went to the mailbox this morning and last years “love of my life ” drove by. We were 100% call and text all the time and living just down the street was awesome. My heart is still shattered when I see him. It’s been over for 16 months.Takes forever for me to get completely over a guy! Thankfully my boyfriend understands I’m a sensitive person and that I love him, and I want to be with him,not my ex from down the street
@Dena @Andrea @Liz – I envy that certainty! Attraction just scrambles all my circuits and renders me horribly indecisive about whether to do anything about it or not, I wonder if it’s being a Libra that’s responsible for that trait?
But I really do admire people who can go into and out of relationships with such decisiveness – not wasting time is a good thing!
Better for her being a “man-eater” than being in an abusive or controlling relationship.
I’m an Aquarius but I have many planets in Scorpio (also fall in love intensely) and I have Venus in Capricorn, which I think scarlett does too if I remember it right. Venus in Capricorn doesn’t necessarily rate compatability with a lover very highly, security and a bunch of other things comes first and sticking it out in relationships that make no sense to other people or having a big age difference either way is pretty common. To each his own, I dig scarlett 🙂 hope she’s happy!
Of course she does – she’s wealthy. Most people can’t afford to hop from one relationship to another if there are financials at stake.
I always got the sense she gets bored with a guy (relatively) quickly. Good for her. Never the best option to spend months/years getting over someone, plus doesn’t look like she’s breaking any hearts so no harm no foul
So what if she falls and moves on quickly? There were two of them in that marriage, she didn’t conceive that baby all on her own.
And a big eyeroll @the ‘waaah Sean Peen/Ryan Reynolds/she was so mean to him!’ people. I’d say going on the record about a two-year marriage that split up is rather more dignified than calling the paps for your product placement advertorials with your new honey but hey, what do I know.
