Top Men Scarlett Johansson Has Dated

Scarlett Johansson’s love life has often mirrored the pace of her career, moving through different chapters and locations as projects and premieres filled her calendar. Over the years she has dated musicians, actors, a high-profile attorney, and two men who later became her husbands. Many of these relationships were public enough to make headlines, while others stayed quieter and only surfaced through a few appearances or brief reports.

This timeline walks through the partners most commonly linked to her, from a high school romance to her current marriage. You will find when they met, what each person is known for, and the public moments that marked each relationship. It focuses on clear facts like careers, milestones, and notable sightings, without speculation.

Jack Antonoff

Johansson dated Jack Antonoff while both attended the Professional Children’s School in New York City. They were classmates who moved in the same arts-focused circles and reportedly went to prom together. Their relationship ran from 2001 into 2002 before each graduated into different creative paths.

Antonoff went on to front Bleachers and produce for major pop acts. Johansson continued landing film roles that pushed her into wider public view. Their connection is often cited as a teenage romance that predated their later fame.

Jared Leto

Johansson and Jared Leto were linked in the mid-2000s, with sightings in New York and Los Angeles placing them together at events. Public reporting also connected them again in 2012, including appearances that renewed interest in their earlier connection.

Leto balanced acting and music during this period, while Johansson was building a slate that included higher profile projects. Neither spoke in depth about the relationship, so the public record centers on photographs and event appearances rather than interviews.

Josh Hartnett

Johansson met Josh Hartnett while working around the time of ‘The Black Dahlia’. They began dating in 2005 and were seen together at premieres and industry events through 2006. Scheduling demands were frequently cited when their relationship ended around late 2006 or early 2007.

Hartnett continued a mix of film and television work. Johansson moved into major releases that expanded her audience. Their time together is noted for its overlap with a busy period for both actors.

Ryan Reynolds

Johansson started dating Ryan Reynolds in 2007. They became engaged the following year and married in a small ceremony in Canada in 2008. The couple announced their separation in December 2010 and finalized their divorce in 2011.

During this period Reynolds was working on studio films while Johansson balanced stage and screen. Both kept the marriage largely private, issuing brief statements when announcing changes and avoiding detailed public commentary.

Sean Penn

In early 2011 Johansson was linked to Sean Penn. They attended the White House Correspondents’ Dinner together and were photographed at other public outings during a short period in the spring.

Reports at the time described the relationship as brief. By summer 2011 each had returned to separate schedules. The pairing is remembered mostly through a handful of event appearances and travel sightings.

Romain Dauriac

Johansson began dating Romain Dauriac in late 2012. Dauriac is a French creative executive who has worked in journalism and advertising. They became engaged in 2013 and married in 2014. They share a daughter and later announced their separation, finalizing their divorce in 2017.

During their marriage the couple divided time between New York and Paris and kept a relatively low profile. They also launched a small popcorn venture in Paris that drew media attention for its unusual celebrity angle. After their split they continued to co-parent.

Kevin Yorn

In 2017 Johansson was reported to be dating entertainment attorney Kevin Yorn. Yorn is a well-known industry lawyer who has represented high profile clients, and he had a longstanding professional connection to Johansson before the relationship became public.

The pair were photographed holding hands in New York and were mentioned in trade and entertainment reports through mid-2017. The relationship was described as developing from an existing friendship and professional rapport and then winding down later that year.

Joe Machota

Johansson appeared at the 2017 Academy Awards with Joe Machota, a creative artists agency executive who leads a major theater department. Their red carpet appearance sparked reports that they were seeing each other around that time.

Public information about the pairing is limited to those event sightings and brief mentions in industry columns. By the middle of 2017 Johansson’s dating news shifted toward other relationships, and no further updates connected them after award season.

Colin Jost

Johansson and ‘Saturday Night Live’ writer and ‘Weekend Update’ anchor Colin Jost began dating in 2017. They announced their engagement in 2019 and married in 2020 in a private ceremony. They have a son together and have made occasional joint appearances at premieres and charity events.

Jost continues his work on ‘Saturday Night Live’ alongside writing and book projects. Johansson has balanced film roles with voice work and producing. Their relationship has featured a mix of low-key privacy and carefully chosen public moments, including joint interviews where they discuss family life and creative schedules.
