In the immediate aftermath of announcing the end of a marriage, few would expect to see a famous Hollywood couple out together in public. On a dinner date. Laughing and smiling.
Yet that's what went down on Friday night at Blue Ribbon restaurant in New York City, where Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds were spotted sharing "a friendly meal," according to a new report from People.com.
In their joint statement about their decision to split up, the pair had expressed a mutual intention to show "love and kindness" even as they ended the marriage -- and this weekend, that goal was on full display. But are the two reuniting?
"They just wanted to connect and have a friendly chat," a source says. "They just wanted to sit down together. The tone was light and fun, despite the untruths that the media is working up. They aren't reconciling. This was just two people who were married being civil and friendly."
The dinner was so friendly, in fact, that Johannson, 26, and Reynolds, 34, were seen "smiling and laughing the whole time."
Busy work schedules in different cities has been cited as one of the main reasons the marriage faltered (not that anyone close to the couple seems to know the full story: a friend of Scarlett's told PopEater this week, "No one had any idea this was coming"). Nevertheless, with Reynolds in New York for a photo shoot during a break from shooting 'The Change Up' (a comedy co-starring Olivia Wilde and Jason Bateman) in Atlanta, he and Johansson clearly wanted to find quality time to see each other.
Johansson, who recently returned from a vacation in Jamaica with friends, married 'Green Lantern' star Reynolds in 2008 in a hush-hush ceremony in Canada. The couple have no children.
