Another prized Hollywood couple has decided to call it quits. Â Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson have officially separated with the intent to divorce, according to People. Â In a joint statement they say, “After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we’ve decided to end our marriage. Â We entered our relationship with love, and it’s with love and kindness we leave it. Â While privacy isn’t expected, it’s certainly appreciated.” Â Although the pair were just seen out in NYC together last month, a source close to the situation says that it was Johansson who initiated the split. Â The two wed in 2008 in a private ceremony in Reynold’s hometown of Vancouver.

There’s no doubt about it: divorce is devastating. Â Here are some tips on how to transition from living with your partner to living alone:
1. Get some “me” time: First and foremost, take some time out for yourself before dealing with the “media” of your family and friends. Â Grab a close friend and head south a la ScarJo-style for some down time.
2. Indulge in a hobby: Spend some time doing things that make you happy before your divorce. Â The familiar routine will keep you sane for a little bit longer.
3. Work it out: Try exercise as a form of stress release. Â Endorphins will make you feel better, as they are natural pain and stress fighters.
