Scarlett Johansson is just as passionate with her love life as she is about her on screen roles. The 40-year-old has been working as an actress since she was a child, so she’s been around the industry most of her life. Most of her dating history has been with fellow actors, including the men in two of her three marriages. Her current marriage is to husband Colin Jost, a Saturday Night Live cast member and writer best known for his “Weekend Update” sketch.
We’ve got Scarlett’s complete romantic history.
Before Jack founded the indie rock bands Fun and Bleachers, he was a student with Scarlett at the Professional Children’s School in New York City. The two were high school sweethearts in 2001-2002, and even went to prom together. They broke up after graduating, as Scarlett shot to film fame in Sofia Coppola‘s 2003 indie darling Lost in Translation opposite Bill Murray.
Jack is one of singing superstar Taylor Swift‘s top songwriting and producing collaborators. On the album Folklore, Jack co-produced six songs and co-wrote four tunes, including the much-loved “Betty.”
Scarlett dated Suicide Squad star Jared Leto for a time in 2004. His band 30 Seconds To Mars was starting to break big and give him a second career as the lead singer of an indie rock band. Combine that with the pair’s 13 year age difference and Scarlett still being in her early 20s, their long term relationship prospects were never bright. There was the infamous paparazzi shot of Scarlett going in to passionately kiss Jared, as he looked over her shoulder and down at his phone.
Many believed Scarlett was referring to Jared when she revealed in a 2016 interview with Cosmopolitan, “Long, long ago, I had someone in my life who was forever unavailable…but, like, so attractively unavailable,” she told the publication. Scarlett recalled, “Rock bottom is the moment when you’re like, ‘I’ve lost myself. Why am I standing outside this bar at 1:30 in the morning texting while my friends are inside? Or taking a taxi to see him at some ungodly hour? This isn’t me.’ That is the moment you’ve gotta cut it off. Otherwise, it will keep coming back, suck your blood.”
After things went south with Jared, Scarlett fell for her co-star Josh Hartnett from the 2006 film Black Dahlia. The pair was together from 2005-2007, but both had red-hot careers at the time that kept them apart too much. Scarlett was 22 and Josh was 28 when they split, and both were in high-demand film-wise.
