It’s true! Scarlett Johannson and Ryan Reynolds are engaged. The two have been dating for over a year. Scarlett, 23, and Ryan, 31, are the bomb.com! Not only are the hot and talented (marginally talented, let’s be honest), but I really do believe that they are in love. Why? Because I have yet to see any publicity shots of them anywhere, and neither has accompanied the other to any big premieres, like The Other Boleyn Girl or Definitely, Maybe. You know it’s real when the happy couple are never together in public. In fact, at tonight’s Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Scarlett is expected to walk the carpet alone. But who cares as long as she’s got a rock?

Now for the most important question: will the two ever make it down the aisle? Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but I’m going to have to say no on this one for two good reasons:

1. This is not Ryan’s first time in marriage land. Ryan dated Alanis Morissette for two years before getting engaged. The engagement lasted for three years until they called it off in February 2007. That is not reassuring.
2. Scarlett doesn’t really seem like she’s ready to settle down. She’s 23 and really hot. Apparently she’s hooked up with Benicio Del Toro in an elevator. And she has gone on the record saying that monogamy is “hard work” and that she doesn’t find having one sexual partner natural. That is not reassuring.

I suppose only time will tell if wedding bells are really in the future. In the meantime let’s wish them luck, and hope they sign a pre-nup.
