Johansson opens up about split

Scarlett Johansson has opened up about her divorce from Ryan Reynolds, describing the split as "devastating".

The couple filed for divorce in December 2010, after just over two years of marriage.

The Avengers star told Vogue: "It was horrible. Of course it's horrible. It was devastating.

"It really throws you. You think that your life is going to be one way, and then, for various reasons or whatever, it doesn't work out."

Johansson said that she never thought she would get divorced, adding: "And there's no way to navigate it. Nobody can give you the right answer. It's never anything you want to hear. It's a very lonely thing. It's like the loneliest thing you'll ever do, in some way."

The actress also revealed that she is still recovering from the break-up, saying: "I don't feel on the other side of it completely, but it gets better. It's still there. More than anything, it's just that not having your buddy around all the time is weird. There's no rule book. I think it's just time."
