Hollywood stars Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds have called it quits after two years of marriage, they said in a statement on Tuesday.
"After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we've decided to end our marriage. We entered our relationship with love and it's with love and kindness we leave it," their statement said.
Johansson, the 26-year-old star of movies such as
Vicky Cristina Barcelona
and
He's Just Not That Into You
, married Reynolds in September 2008. The 34-year-old Canadian native, whose credits include
Van Wilder
and the upcoming
Green Lantern
, was previously engaged to singer Alanis Morissette.
US Weekly
cited a source as saying their marriage was strained by time spent apart on movies, while
People
magazine said they actually separated about six months ago. Coincidentally,
People
recently named Reynolds "the sexiest man alive" in its annual survey.
Their breakup is the latest in a flurry of celebrity splits announced this week. Other casualties include the marriages of model Elizabeth Hurley and Indian businessman Arun Nayar, and
Dexter
stars Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter.
