Sandra Bullock tries to save Ryan Reynolds & Scarlett’s marriage

wenn2476373
It’s no secret that Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds are friends. The two have apparently known each other for years – but they also starred together in this year’s hit film The Proposal. I know some people just adore both of them, or just Sandra, or whatever, but I didn’t care for that particular publicity tour. It sometimes seemed like Sandra and Ryan were trying to out-smug each other during joint interviews – and I know Sandra isn’t really like that, so I’ll just blame Ryan. In one particular interview, Ryan and Sandra praised each other’s marriage, with Ryan telling Sandra “I love that your marriage – and forgive the ineloquence here – is not for sale.” To which Sandra replied, “We’re very similar in that way.”

Sandra’s marriage might be in good standing – but there have been quite a few rumors about Ryan and his wife Scarlett Johansson the past few months. They’ve allegedly been fighting about everything from her career (something about how she works too much) to all of the fanboys falling all over themselves for her, to babies, to Ryan’s ex-girlfriend Alanis Morissette’s tell-all book, to all of those rumors that Ryan is really, really unpleasant in person. According to multiple reports, ScarJo and Ryan got into some kind of huge screaming fight just before Comic Con, which “caused such a rift between them that Ryan refused to attend the conference and he told Scarlett she could go alone. She got so angry she threatened to take off her wedding band.” After the drama settled, it seemed Ryan turned to his good friend Sandy for some marriage counseling:

Sandra Bullock has gone from “Miss Congeniality” to marriage counselor.,, she is helping Ryan Reynolds save his rocky marriage to Scarlett Johansson, say sources.

“Ryan and Scarlett have been going through a rough patch,” revealed an insider. “Sandra is helping them weather it. She told them that every marriage has its problems – hers included. But she says they can get through it if they’re willing to put the time and effort into making things work, even if it means going to couples counseling.”

Scarlett, 24, was upset because of Ryan’s motorcycle riding, which she considers too risky. Then his former fiancée, singer Alanis Morissette, threatened to write a tell-all book.

The couple, who were married in Vancouver last September, reportedly had a major blowup in San Diego.

Sandra – an old friend of Ryan’s – saw what happening and stepped in to provide some wise relationship advice.

“No one knows better than Sandra how to juggle marriage with a Hollywood career,” said the insider. “Her relationship with Jesse James has been solid since they got hitched more than four years ago.”

“Because Sandra and Jesse seemed so different, no one gave their union much hope for lasting as long as it has. Sandra told Ryan the most important thing is that he and Scarlett need to make time for one another, even though they both have busy schedules.”

“She told him, ‘There is no substitute for togetherness.’ Sandra pointed out that she and Jesse take quick vacations together – just hopping on the back of his bike and hitting the road.”

Ryan listens to Sandra, says the insider, because “he has tremendous respect for her as a person and an actress.”

I know a lot of people like Scarlett and Ryan as a couple – even my mom likes them, for goodness sake – but I really don’t think it’s going to last. Maybe I’m way off-base, and I totally admit I’ve read some relationships incorrectly in the past. But I just don’t get a happy vibe off Ryan and ScarJo. I think he seems like he would be a massive pain in the ass as a husband, and ScarJo seems like her top priority is her career (which is fine, in my book – she’s 24 years old, if she wants to work, she should work). It won’t really matter if Sandra brings her magic touch – not even The Bullock can save this union.

    They’re not going to last, I know this for a fact. I don’t think he can stand that she’s a bigger profile celeb than he is. Ryan needs to be in a relationship where he’s the main attraction and whoever’s he’s with should just be lucky he decided to choose her.

    ScarJo needs an older, classier man to be with, perhaps an actor who used to be more active in Hollywood than he is currently; a guy who’s been around the block his fair share of times and will be supportive of her blossoming film career who she can turn to for love and advice.

  2. Shanny says:

    Why try to save that marriage, she should try to save her friend from Scarho and help him get out of the marriage asap.
    Can’t believe he married such a piece of trash, every one know’s you don’t have to marry scarlett to get her into bed.

    Ridiculous! We ate at The Hungry Cat in Hollywood last night. Amazing food and a great people and…. eating next to my table… Scarjo and Ryan Reynolds!!

    Cuties, extremely attractive … “canoodling” while dinning, they looked happy and in love.

    She was so cool in Ghost World (obviously nowhere near as cool as Thora Birch. I wonder when she became so awful (dying her hair?)(making a pretentious album?). But Ryan Reynolds is a douche, which sucks cos he cracks me up, so they basically deserve each other. I don’t know how Alanis put up with him. Their whole marriage is weird, it seemed like they were barely dating, then suddenly married, whereas he was with Alanis for years, engaged. I wouldn’t wish unhappiness on anyone, but the marriage seems unlikely to work.

  5. I hate to say it…

    But they never had a chance in hell. What I cannot figure out, though, is why these hollywood types feel it necessary to get married in the first place?

    What is pulling at them when they can just get up and leave at the first sign of trouble? It doesn’t make much sense to me.

    WORK ON YOUR MARRIAGES, PEOPLE.

    “Their whole marriage is weird, it seemed like they were barely dating, then suddenly married”

    Ditto on that, Ophelia. It did seem to come out of nowhere.

  7. bros says:

    I think he is used to being with women who are bigger stars-alanis was on the map on a huge scale long before we even knew this guy’s name. he is a diva though, and a bratty whiny little bitch, so I dont see how scarlet puts up with him.

  8. Iggles says:

    I think Ryan is a douche. I don’t think Scarlett should have married him. She should be focusing on her career right now. She’s only 24. And sadly, in hollywood women have a set number of years to be a leading lady. Whereas men can be leading men well into their golden years (i.e., Jack Nicholson).

    Ryan gives off a douche vibe. I’ve heard a lot of stories about how smug and rude he is to “regular” people.

    I don’t like to wish unhappiness on anyone, but I think it would be for the best if they call it day before any kids come into the mix.

  9. Tazina says:

    How do these facts come out? Private fights? None of this really rings true. Still, I would doubt Ryan and Scarlett will last “forever”…not going to happen. Forever is a long time and even longer in their world.

  10. really says:

    Sandra B. looks amazing in these photos! Why didn’t we see these vs. the trainwreck of an outfit she wore to her last premiere? I love both of these dresses on her.

  11. Jen says:

    Sandra looks fantastic in that header pic…such a pretty look for her.

  12. Hieronymus Grex says:

    uh-huh…. 🙄

    And a goldfish left Lincoln logs in my sock drawer.

  13. LolaBella says:

    @really ITA, she looks very pretty and styled here; perhaps she wore that get-up to her premiere because she lost a bet?

    @Hieronymus Grex: LMAO at your comment!

  14. She's gross says:

    What is he doing with her? She’s an intellectual dullard, bad actress and not beautiful.

    Sounds more like her being jealous of his career taking off. He’s a quick wit and surely must be bored to tears with her.

    Gotta love the people who say they saw them eating in a restaurant and must be happy. What do you expect them to do? Throw food at each other? Fight to give tabloids more fuel? They’re ACTORS.

  15. Nixe says:

    Isn’t anybody else just blinded by Sandra and Ryan’s prettyness? They are just beyond gorgeous. Maybe they should dump their respective spouses and hook up? 😉
    I was never a fan of the Reynolds/ScarJo hookup, they don’t seem well suited to each other. I liked Alanis/Ryan much more. But anyway, I hope the alleged rumors are not true and that at least they try to fight for their marriage.
