Scarlett Johansson's New Man!
by Shannon KeirnanAmid rumors that ex-husband Ryan Reynolds has up and married that sweet young thing of his, Blake Lively, don’t feel too bad for sad and lonely Scarlett Johansson.
As if anyone could ever.
The busty “Avengers” star has been doing pretty well in the dating scene, taking on a wide array of men. Recently she split with much older star, Sean Penn, so who has she been seen with lately?
Everyone knows that there exists no place more romantic than The Democratic National Convention, so naturally that’s where Johansson brought her gorgeous date—Jared Leto.
Huh?
Well, the two had been linked years ago, so… I guess? Or maybe she’s suddenly into huge, abrasive-looking beards?
Leto and Johansson were spotted holding hands, whispering to one another, and looking overall less than thrilled to be in each other’s company—signs of a serious relationship if I’ve ever seen ‘em.
There was also some laughing, teasing, leaning and other indicators that life isn’t so grave.
However reps for Johansson have made this statement:
"Scarlett is still dating Nate [Naylor]. This is very innocent. Scarlett and Jared have remained friends, nothing more, nothing less. Let's concentrate on the DNC and her speech, which is exponentially more important."
True, but maybe a little less giggle-inducing.
Johansson did make a speech that night, rallying support for Democratic votes with words aimed at bringing the younger audience out to the ballots.
She was joined in the celebrity box by actors like Zach Braff, Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde, Don Cheadle and Elizabeth Banks.
