1. Musician Jack Antonoff was one of Johansson’s first loves, dating back to the time she went to high school and dreamed of being an actress. A youthful love that did not last long and left a bad taste in both of them.
2. The actress, already into a career, did not have much luck with her second known conquest either. It was actor Patrick Wilson, whom she met in 2004 at the Golden Globes. They had a romance that died almost before it started.
3. History repeated itself with actor and singer Jared Leto, whom model Alexa Chung has been associated with lately. Fortunately, she does have a nice friendship with him.
4. The actor Benicio del Toro was another of the fleeting loves in the life of the actress. With him, it was rumored that there was even rushed sex inside an elevator.
5. After this Scarlett improved her taste by signing the handsome Josh Hartnett as a lover and party partner. They met in 2005, during the filming of Black Dahlia, and immediately the spark between them jumped. They lived together for two years but left because the actress would fly into a rage every time he was absent from filming.
6. The actress’s next conquest was the handsome Ryan Reynolds. Their romance lasted two years and they even got married (in September 2008 in a very intimate ceremony in Vancouver) but, what things are, they ended up like a cat and a dog without even speaking.
7. The actress tried her luck with a mature man and the lucky one was Sean Penn. The couple’s passionate relationship began in 2011, although, in reality, they never confirmed that they were a couple. Of course, their attendance together at the Correspondents Dinner organized by Barack Obama at the White House at the beginning of May and another agape offered in Los Angeles by the Emir of Qatar served as an informal presentation. But the butterflies in the actor’s stomach did not last long and the relationship was ruined after three months.
8. The actress collaborated with Justin Timberlake on the video for her sensual song What Goes Around … Comes Around and the thing happened to majors. In the end, they ended up having fun off-camera at an exclusive New York club until the wee hours of the morning and maybe more. At that time Jessica Biel, the singer’s ex-girlfriend and in the process of fixing the relationship, went into a rage. Once they were reconciled, Biel forbade Timberlake to have contact with the actress again.
9. Ten months after her leak with pop artist, Johansson tried again to settle down with a man much older than her, publicist Nate Naylor, but in the end, it did not come to fruition.

11. She started a relationship with Saturday Night Live co-head writer and Weekend Update co-host Colin Jost from May of 2017. in 2019 after 2 years of dating, they got engaged and got married in October 2020.
