Personal life
Johansson rarely discusses her personal life with the press, saying, "It's nice to have everybody not know your business." Johansson's ex-boyfriend, and member of the band Steel Train, Jack Antonoff, wrote lyrics that refer to Johansson in the song "Better Love." Many songs on Steel Train's album Twilight Tales from the Prairies of the Sun are about Johansson as well. She has been linked to many famous men, including Benicio del Toro, Jared Leto, Justin Timberlake, and her Black Dahlia co-star Josh Hartnett, though Johansson denies she had a relationship with del Toro. Johansson and Hartnett dated for about two years until the end of 2006, with Hartnett citing their busy lives as the reason for the split.
She started dating Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds in 2007, and on May 5, 2008, it was reported that the two were engaged. On September 27, 2008, Johansson and Reynolds were married at a quiet ceremony near Tofino, British Columbia. On August 12, 2010, Us Weekly exclusively reported that Johansson and Reynolds purchased a $2.8 million home together near L.A.
In a 2006 interview, Johansson expressed a concern about the potential conflict between the nature of human beings and the concept of monogamy. However, she has stated "contrary to popular belief ... I am not promiscuous" and that she works "really hard" when she's in a relationship "to make it work in a monogamous way." She gets tested for HIV twice a year and has said, "It's part of being a decent human and it is just disgusting behavior when people don't. It's so irresponsible."
