Scarlett Johansson Officially Files for Divorce, Gets Ready to Battle for Custody of Her Daughter
Scarlett Johansson has officially filed for divorce from her husband Romain Dauriac.
The Avengers actress' attorney, Judith Poller, served Dauriac's lawyer, Harold Mayerson, the divorce papers on Tuesday, Mayerson confirmed to the Associated Press. While the actual divorce isn't surprising – the two announced their split back in January and had allegedly been separated since last summer – it's the content of Johansson's divorce petition that's got everyone talking.
In the divorce filing, the 32-year-old actress called the marriage "irretrievably broken." Whether that has anything to do with ScarJo's recent comments about monogamy – who knows? She also requested primary physical custody of the couple's 2-year-old daughter, Rose Dorothy Dauriac, (meaning she would share custody with her ex while the child resides primarily with her). Mayerson, as Dauriac's representative, wasted no time making sure the press was aware that ScarJo's ex would be fighting that request.
"[Dauriac] would like to move to France with his daughter and Ms. Johansson does a lot of traveling," the lawyer explained to Page Six. Dauriac, a former journalist who currently works as an art curator, is a Frenchman. The now-estranged couple and their daughter were splitting their time between New York (Johansson's native city) and Paris, where they opened a gourmet popcorn store in 2016.
A source also told Page Six that that the pair had adopted an "informal co-parenting agreement" where they were each spending every other week with Rose. According to the anonymous source, the actress later requested a shorter schedule where she'd have Rose for 3 days and Dauriac would have her for 2. Mayerson told the AP that Dauriac has been the "primary parent" while Johansson has been working and that he "is tired of having to run his life and his child's life based on Ms. Johansson's shooting schedule."
Johansson, who was previously married to Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011, began dating her second husband in 2012. They married in a secret 2014 ceremony, after she gave birth to Rose.
