Scarlett Johansson and Romain Dauriac are over. They’ve been over since last fall, if not earlier. Chris Evans and Jenny Slate are done too, likely breaking up in January, just after the holidays. Chris Evans and ScarJo are good friends. They’ve been friends for years and they’ve worked with each other several times. Is there an attraction there? I don’t know. While I can’t say I really “ship” any Marvel people, my take on Chris and Scarlett’s relationship was always that they felt more brother-sister towards each other rather than any romantic or sexual feelings. They seem to tease each other a lot and I suspect that Chris exhausts Scarlett. But Star Mag says that ScarJo and Chris might be happening. Eh?
Scarlett Johansson may have arrived at the Oscars with her agent, but she spent the show huddles close to hunky Chris Evans.
“Chris and Scarlett both asked to be seated next to each other at the ceremony,” a source tells Star. “It sure looked like something was going on – he was whispering in her ear, she kept blushing.”
Although Chris and Scarlett have been close pals for more than 10 years, “the timing is everything,” explains the insider, noting that news of their respective splits came within two weeks of each other. “A lot of people suspect they might become an item.”

Does it work on paper? Sure. I imagine Marvel would be pleased if they could use their leads’ romance to promote the movies too. But I just get a vibe of… friends, possibly with benefits. Like, it would be hot for a little while and then Chris would get messy about it and Scarlett would shrug and move on.
In any case, a source tells E! News: “Scarlett just got separated from Romain and is still dealing with the fact that now she’s had two failed serious relationships. She’s not trying to rush into anything and is just chilling.” Hot-take: Scarlett probably doesn’t give a sh-t that she has “two failed serious relationships.” I guess they mean two failed marriages? Yeah. I don’t think she worries about that.

Could be wrong, but I get a friends vibe from these two.
Friends can hold each other at night for a few months every few years though, right? I honestly wouldnt be surprised if they have had a no strings go around the block a few times. They have known each other since their teens afterall.
That’s what I see. Definitely just friends that have an occasional enjoyable activity they can do with each other. No romance, no relationship.
Sure.
Evansson shippers are nothing if not persistent lol
Exactly right, from the Perfect Score days when they were both super young, new to the biz, and single.
I do too. He even said he views her like a sister, and they have been longtime-friends. I ship her with Jeremy Renner, I see more chemistry between those two than I do with any of her other Avengers co-stars.
I don’t see how you can not worry about two failed marriages? I think some reflection is in order at the very least. I mean its one thing when you are dating and things don’t work out but getting married is kinda serious and now she has a child? I would be surprised if she hadn’t considered what might be going wrong and how she can prevent it from happening again. She seems to have weird taste in guys and be pretty impulsive. Thats my arm chair diagnosis.
?? Both times she got married was after she’d been seeing the guys for like 2 years or something? That doesn’t exactly seem ‘impulsive’, even if she was young the first time.
I’d say her youth was a factor in marriage #1 failing and her career was a factor in both.
Eh, I kind of give her a free pass on the marriage to Ryan Reynolds. Based on his marriage #2, he clearly wanted a more stay at home-type wife. I don’t think the breakdown in that marriage was all her. I’d be willing to bet that Ryan thought she might change or they simply never discussed it. That’s on both of them, not just her.
I do get a friends with bennies vibe from her and Chris Evans, though.
I totally don’t think it was all her either. The last guy kinda seemed douchey to me. Thats why I don’t understand marrying and having a kid with him. Having a baby does change things too so its possible they got along great until they became parents. Being a mom is stressful AF. I’m not trying to hate on Scarlett at all. Sh*t happens. I was just kind of saying I’m sure shes at least “thought” about having 2 failed marriages. How can you not? Also, @teacakes, good point on her dating the guys for 2+ years before getting married. I guess I didn’t realize that.
Maybe so. Maybe not. Timing though: both are doing publicity for films right now, right? I smell PRs at work.
Neither have ever played relationships for work though. Certainly not at the level they both could have.
neither have used relationship for movie publicity? realllllllllly? I guess you missed shi-t load of articles about his amazing on set connection with Jenny Slate when Gifted trailer was released last year (that completely erased her husband out of narrative)
@AnotherAnna Except Blake Lively isn’t stay at home type and sometimes does movies with Scarlett’s honey bun honourable Mr.Woody Allen 🙂 ya know that guy that Scarlett defended and told his daughter to stop messing with her Google alerts with trivial sh-t like child abuse. Yep that same guy
@A oh, you mean the same Blake Lively who defends Woody Allen from being publicly called on his child molestation charges? All for some supporting roles, at best.
You know the saying about glass houses and stones.
@TeaCakes I was not trying to say Blake is better than Scarlett. I was just trying to point out she was not a stay at home type like someone suggested and then added a tidbit about Scarlett’s shameless defense of Woody Allen since this article is about her. Reading comprehension is a good thing, ya know? 🙂
@ Wood Dragon —
I thought the same thing: downplay the doomed affair behind his new movie and the whitewash behind (or actually directly in front of) her new movie by putting 2 otherwise favorable, BANKABLE “superheroes” together. Plus, he has a gotten back A LOT of goodwill/ideal PR from his surprisingly well-handled twitter battles of late.
Doubt it. But Chris Evans does seem more her type than her most recent ex husband.
Is Chris Pine single? Can we ship her with that chris instead?
oh wow.
I ship Chris & Chris.
I ship ALL the Chrises, all of them.
OH GOD YES
Being married and divorced twice by the age of 32 sort of blows my mind.
She’s an A-list Hollywood actress. When have normal people relationship standards ever applied to them?
Even as a regular woman, that is still too young to be a 2 time divorcee.
Her 32 is not the same as ours. She’s been a working actress since she was a child, a full time working actress since she wasn’t legally able to. She’s been treated like an adult, with adult responsibilities and expectations, since she was a teenager. Her 32 is like our 45.
what is this bizarre theory? They’re not like dog years lol
I actually know two women who both had two failed marriages under their belt by that age. It did (and does) blow my mind, as was their ability to justify it.
My mother had two failed marriages by that time. The second was my dad–they married when she was thirty and divorced when I was seventeen months old. They got along better after, so I grew up not having to witness them fight like a lot of my friends had to do with their parents. Worked out for the best for everyone involved. I wish Scarlett and her daughter all the luck in the world.
FeFe: I realized my comment reads much more judgmental than I intended (and I’ll admit I was thinking of one woman in particular, who was 27 at the time of her second divorce, which was still not finalized when she was dating a guy she just knew was The One).
I’m glad your parents made it work. I know a couple of people going through custody disputes right now, and they’re ugly.
… yeah, this kind of thing isn’t even that shocking anymore. We’re still evolving as people and as partners in our twenties (and forever, really), so I don’t look down on people who get divorced young, but I definitely question whether it’s necessary or wise to begin marriages after a year or two of dating.
[Which is why I’m turning 30 this year, and still haven’t changed my mind about marrying my long-term boyfriend. Some of our friends have met, married, and gotten divorced since we got together. We own a home and seven pets; that’s enough of a commitment for me. Don’t feel the need to add more legal and financial safeguards.]
That doesn’t mean anything…. I got married after 9 months of dating, 5 years and I’m still here 😉 surely it helped I was in my 40ies when I got married (first time)
I knew an accountant of 32 who was on his third marriage, having only gotten married for the first time at 27. He wasn’t at all Hollywood. I’m not sure what was going to on.
I don’t really see it, they seem more like friends. But what do I know lol?
I really hope this happens. IDK it just seems to fit. They both launder through people because — whatever — it just seems like a swipe right.
Haha! No. Maybe a been there done that in their younger days, but I get zero heat from them now. He’s seems to be a bit of a bro really, I can’t see him being keen on a relationship with a woman with a toddler.
And yeah she should reflect. Failed relationships are fine, we’ve all been there…but two failed marriages by 32? That needs some evaluation.
I figured that she and Duriac married for the legal ramifications with their daughter (which is of course now playing out) more than anything else.
+1
I get less than zero heat from them too. As to her failed relationships she and no doubt, her fans, deal with it by blaming the husband (s). Should have stayed with Sean Penn😶😐
“Should have stayed with Sean Penn” is a sentence I never thought I’d read!
‘Should have stayed’ with a known rapist who tried to stick an ex’s head in an oven?
Wow. I know you dislike her, but hold the crazy.
@Amide – LMAO. Love it!
I think they’re just friends.
I forgot what she looked like with longer hair. I think the short hair works on her.
I like it, too, but the two of us may be alone on that!
Make it three! I wish I could pull it off, but I don’t have her face :p
Me five. I love this haircut on her.
I love it. It showcases her gorgeous face. She pulls it off well.
I love her short hair and want to straight up shave my head after her and Kristen Stewart’s new do. 2 failed marriages by 32 is a littleness nuts but also I think her first failed marriage was hugely driven by Ryan Reynolds – who seems like a controlling dick.
I always got that vibe when he was with scarlett. Get it less with blake, maybe he’s matured?
I like her with the short hair too. But we also only see it when she’s had it professionally styled, and from experience, that sort of cut only works if you’re willing to daily put in the work to make it look cute.
I don’t usually believe most tabloid stories but some people can’t just spend time with themselves and have some reflections, they just rush into a new relationship and likely repeat the mistakes that torpedoed the last relationships.
Maybe they’re just friends with benefits.
Weren’t there a few rumors about Scarlett possibly dating her agent (who was her actual date to the Oscars)? Could this story possibly be planted to distract from that?
(Although I do think Chris and Scarlett have been or are FWBs and wouldn’t be surprised if it’s been one of the less dysfunctional relationships they’ve both had as adults.)
LMAO people are realllllllllly turned by mental images of Scarlett and Chris doing it I guess. Idk why people act like she is his only option, he obviously doesn’t think so. I remember reading a tidbit about him flirting with a group of brunettes at Oscars after party while Scarlett was there. Evans’ next GF will probably be someone in her 20s maybe Elizabeth Olsen or someone else. He’s a typical 35 year old Hollywood dude its time to get more typical now
*turned on
Sure he’s a frat bro type but his only publicly known hookups including the most recent have all been with women close to him in age, so not sure where this guarantee of the next gf being a 20something is coming from.
Nope. He was seeing lily Collins for awhile.
Is there an expiration date on celebrity vag & c*cks that the rest of us don’t have? They seem to go around the room of that world like clockwork, god forbid any of them should sustain from using them for less than a month at a time. Do they go bad or something? Geez
Sorry for the rant, i read the whole Jlo-Arod story right before this & I’m just like good lord already! Simmer your drawers & air em out
THis this this!!
I think they have to be seen to be having a relationship so they are seen to be desirable at all times, not like us normal human beings at all. That means that those ‘relationships’ don’t have to be real at all but just PR fodder, I suspect a lot of them are…
Chelly–you’re talking folks with issues _galore_, which affects their ability to have relationships. And in all fairness, the Templeton-In-CHARLOTTE’S -WEB Syndrome is a big temptation. “The world is a veritable smorgasbord. When you’re at the fair…” 😉
Aren’t all those Marvel stars good friends with other? I have never heard of any bad blood, at least not with the Avengers group.
DON’T GET MY HOPES UP WITH THESE TWO. The tabloid gave me similar hope around this time last year when he was briefly linked with Jennifer Lawrence. Then he shocked one and all and stirred things up with that pothead of a comedienne. I know Chris is no Mr. Goody Two Shoes, but he definitely needs to be with a woman who matches up to his charisma. I know JLaw is problematic, but something just fits with these two. But yeah, whatever. I have just lowered my expectations from him eversince Slategate.
Don’t worry we will find out if/when one of his married friends suddenly files for a divorce 🙂
To be honest, I see her more with Jeremy Renner if she was to get together with a fellow Avenger/co-star. They are both single now and unattached, and they had a major flirtation going on during the first Avengers movie/promo tour- she even had him speak at her Walk of Fame Ceremony back in 2012! If you watch their interview/promo vid compilation on YouTube, the sexual tension and chemistry between them is palpable. I’ve always had the feeling he is secretly in love with her, or vice versa, but the timing was never right. Any other Rennerson shippers out there?
Difficult to tell. He is such a flirt and he gets on well with all the actresses he works with. He did Amy Adams’ Walk of Fame too and he is certainly nothing but good friends with her and her husband. He also seems to be hanging out a lot with Lizzie Olsen, but I think she has just been adopted as a sort of sister; he has a huge family with lots of siblings aged from mid-forties to three, so one more isn’t a big issue. The advantages of Renner for Johansson is that he would probably be happy to stay at home and look after the kids, I suspect he also has similar views on monogamy, so that could work too.
I think Chris Evans is probably banging everybody.
I think Scar does what ever she wants to do but does it discreetly so as not to deal with custody shizz
OMG, I would love for them to start dating. IDK, they both seem like genuine, nice people, obviously super attractive, and they seem like they really enjoy each others’ company from the interviews I’ve seen with them. Plus, I love their chemistry as Natasha and Steve in the Marvel films, and really thought they should’ve gotten together – not Nat/Bruce or Steve/Sharon. No disrespect, but Nat/Steve makes a lot more sense to me.
Anyway, I think they’d make a great couple.
ugh they are SO PRETTY
I love them as friends. They actually have ZERO romantic chemistry but they great friendship chemistry. You can see that in interviews and in the Marvel films – especially Winter Soldier. I think of the two Chris would be the one more interested in a romantic relationship. Scarlett seems completely indifferent to his attractiveness which I love lol!
I think one advantage of being a bombshell movie actress is that you can probably look at gorgeous movie actors and say, “Meh.”
I ship it.
I want theyvshould marry to each other
Shipping real people is so creepy.
I don’t know why some fangirls are so desperate for male celebs to be single they have to come charging in every time there’s a hint of a rumour to speechify about how they predict it won’t work (like fans have the slightest idea of celebs’ real personalities or lives, come on). What, do you think these men are going to marry you one day?
