Scarlett Johansson will ‘never, ever’ speak about divorce for sake of her daughter

Scarlett Johansson has vowed to “never, ever” speak about her divorce for the sake of her daughter.

The US actress, 32, filed for divorce from husband Romain Dauriac earlier this week, saying their marriage was “irretrievably broken”.

Johansson said she will never comment on the “dissolution” of her marriage and asked that people “respect” her wish for privacy.

In a statement she said: “As a devoted mother and private person and with complete awareness that my daughter will one day be old enough to read the news about herself, I would only like to say that I will never, ever be commenting on the dissolution of my marriage.

“Out of respect for my desires as a parent and out of respect for all working mums, it is with kindness that I ask other parties involved and the media to do the same. Thank you.”

Dauriac’s lawyer, Harold Mayerson, told the New York Post’s Page Six that the journalist would “like to move to France with his daughter as Ms. Johansson does a lot of traveling.”

News of their divorce comes after months of split rumours. Johansson sparked speculation when she was seen at the Women’s March in Washington in January without her ring.

Johansson and Dauriac tied the knot in October 2014, just a few months after the birth of their daughter Rose Dorothy.

The Avengers actress recently opened up about monogamy and said she is convinced it isn't 'natural'.

“I think the idea of marriage is very romantic; it’s a beautiful idea, and the practice of it can be a very beautiful thing,” she told Playboy.

“I don’t think it’s natural to be a monogamous person. I might be skewered for that, but I think it’s work. It’s a lot of work.

“Being married is different than not being married, and anybody who tells you that it’s the same is lying. It changes things. It’s a beautiful responsibility, but it’s a responsibility.”
