Contemporaneous reports said Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds had no prenuptial agreement and divided the property and earnings accumulated during their marriage equally when their divorce became final in 2011. The available coverage does not itemize the assets or establish that Johansson received more, or otherwise had a financial advantage.
What was reported about the settlement?
On July 1, 2011, TMZ reported that the former couple divided the property and earnings accumulated during their marriage 50/50. That is the clearest published account of the settlement’s financial outcome in the coverage cited here. The reporting does not include the full settlement document or an itemized schedule, so it does not show which person kept particular assets or what they were worth. TMZ’s July 1, 2011 report
That reported equal division supports saying the spouses shared marital property and earnings evenly. It does not support saying Johansson “won,” received more than Reynolds, or secured a specific asset. “Held her own” is a characterization, not a documented comparative legal result.
Did Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds have a prenup?
Contemporaneous coverage said they did not. TMZ’s December 2010 report attributed the no-prenup claim to sources; its initial account said property rights had not yet been determined. TMZ repeated the no-prenup claim in its July 2011 report. The reports support describing the absence of a prenup as contemporaneously reported, not as a fact independently verified here from the complete court file. TMZ’s December 2010 report
