We don’t know who was more excited about their impending wedding celebration—Scarlett Johansson or Robert Pattinson. Their romance was officially confirmed in April 2015, and since then, the celebrity couple has been showing off their love in the most adorable way possible. We couldn’t help but get super sentimental when we saw this year’s cinematic love story, High Wind Mambo, which focuses on their adventures in Brazil.
However, while we’re completely enamored with their romance, it’s fair to say that not all of their interactions with the press have been positive. This is especially the case when it comes to promotional activities for their films. Since their engagement, they’ve been the subject of many untrue rumours and scandalous headlines—some of which we’ve collected here.
Robert Pattinson & Scarlett Johansson’s Approaching Wedding
With the wedding bells ringing, it’s time for one of the most romantic celebrity partnerships of the last few years to finally take the reins in their personal life. The couple’s engagement was announced in January 2015 and sparked a wave of positive headlines. “It was love at first sight,” said Johansson in an interview with People at the time. “We are so happy that our paths crossed and that we get to share our love and commitment for each other with the world.”
With more than a million Instagram followers, it’s clear that the couple is keen to promote their love for each other through their social media platforms. They’ve been posting photos of themselves together in recent months, with many of the intimate moments being shared for the world to see. Just last week, they shared a sweet picture of the two of them cuddling on a couch with the caption, “Never to say never.”
While many of their fans are over the moon at the prospect of a marriage to their favourite on-screen couple, it seems that not all of their contemporaries share their enthusiasm. In fact, some industry experts have criticised the couple for their promotional activities, saying that their on-screen personas aren’t compatible with real-life relationships. What do you think?
Scandalous Rumours About The Celebrity Couple
Perhaps unsurprisingly, given their celebrity, Robert Pattinson & Scarlett Johansson have attracted their fair share of controversy over the years. Before their engagement, there were already rumours swirling around that they had cheated on their driver’s licenses. A photo of Johansson with actor Ryan Gosling in July 2015 seemed to confirm these rumours (even if it was just a quick pose for a camera crew), as she was seen holding a fake ID in the shape of a driver’s license. This isn’t the first time that Johansson has been accused of being a party to some shady activity, as she was previously linked to Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Depp.
What’s more, before their marriage, there were rumours that Johansson was dating actor Vladimir Putin (which she strongly denied). This wasn’t the only time that she’s been linked to the Russian leader, either—in fact, the relationship allegedly started after she appeared in a Hunger Games parody with him. So, while it might seem that all the tabloids’ gossip mill has decided that the two should just stick together for the good of the world, there’s still a chance that some bad blood might come between them.
Will The Celebrity Couple’s Romance Last?
After all these years, it seems that the world is finally ready to believe that Robert Pattinson & Scarlett Johansson can live up to the hype surrounding their famous romance. The pair’s engagement was announced in January 2015 and since then, they’ve been showing off their love in the most adorable way possible. We couldn’t help but get super sentimental when we saw this year’s cinematic love story, High Wind Mambo, which focuses on their adventures in Brazil.
What’s more, while it might seem like a gimmick to some, the couple’s celebrity status has actually turned out to be a good thing. Johansson’s rep said in 2016 that her “reputation as an actress serves as a great protection against scammers and fake suitors.” Up until now, the rumors and the paparazzi have not taken their romance seriously—but now that it’s been confirmed that these are indeed the real deal, it’s fair to say that the world is ready to accept their relationship.
Interestingly, the two were actually previously engaged to be married, although it was later called off. According to Johansson, it was a mutual decision to end their engagement. She said at the time: “It was very much a decision we made together. We were completely in sync and understood each other perfectly. The idea of not getting married just doesn’t feel right to us.” Although it’s not clear why the couple’s engagement was called off, they reportedly had already made significant progress in their relationship. It seems that they’ve finally found the key to each other’s hearts.
The Future Of The Celeb Couple
While we’re completely enamored with their romance, it’s fair to say that not all of their interactions with the press have been positive.

Given their status as one of Hollywood’s favourite on-screen couples, it’s not surprising that many feel that Robert Pattinson & Scarlett Johansson are perfect for each other. So, while we wait to find out whether their romantic lead will turn out to be true, let’s take a look at some of the headlines that have been written about the celebrity couple over the years.
