Scarlett Johansson, Ryan Reynolds Share 'Friendly Meal'

Five days after news of their split was made public, Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds reportedly shared a "friendly meal" together in New York.

According to People, the couple had dinner at Blue Ribbon on Friday night, and "were smiling and laughing the whole time."

"They just wanted to connect and have a friendly chat," a source told the magazine. "They just wanted to sit down together. The tone was light and fun despite the untruths that the media is working up. They aren't reconciling. This was just two people who were married being civil and friendly."

Last Tuesday, the couple — who wed in September 2008 — released a joint statement to MTV News announcing that "after long and careful consideration on both our parts, we've decided to end our marriage.

"We entered our relationship with love and it's with love and kindness we leave it," the statement continued. "While privacy isn't expected, it's certainly appreciated."

According to several reports, while neither Johansson nor Reynolds has filed for divorce as of yet, the two are living apart. In the days following the announcement of their split, several outlets began speculating that their marriage was done in by "distance", and that they simply "grew apart under the strain of managing two thriving careers."

Johansson also took a much-publicized trip to Jamaica after the couple announced the end of their relationship, on which she was photographed with friends and reading an issue of Vanity Fair.
