Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds may wed this winter

Young Hollywood supercouple Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson have been keeping a pretty low profile lately. A few months ago there were rumors that the absurdly gorgeous duo were on the rocks due to Ryan’s insecurities and jealousy, but they seem to have patched things up. Now, the latest buzz is that their engagement will culminate in a wedding this winter, once the presidential election is over.

The couple, engaged since May, plan to tie the knot this winter, after Scarlett’s 24th birthday, a source tells Star.

Before some 200 guests, including celebrity friends such as Natalie Portman, Woody Allen and Sandra Bullock, Scarlett and the 31-year-old Canadian will wed in a traditional Jewish ceremony in New York City. Helping the couple pull it all together is Scarlett’s mom/manager, Melanie Sloan.

Why wait? After all, Ryan has been eager to marry Scarlett for some time. According to the source, “they’re taking it slow because her twin brother, Hunter, is busy working on Barack Obama’s campaign. Scarlett, who also supports the presidential hopeful, wants to hold off until the election is over because Hunter is so busy.”

As always, I caution that anything in Star is to be taken lightly. I guess time will tell if this story is true. I have to admit that this couple is growing on me. At first, I was still rooting for Ryan to get back with his ex, Alanis Morissette, but if Alanis is over it, then I suppose it’s time for me to move on as well. Scarlett may not be the best actress, but she does seem intelligent and fun to be around. Maybe these two will become the next Reese Witherspoon/Ryan Philippe- without the unhappy ending.
