Ryan Reynolds looking for New York bachelor pad

Ryan Reynolds is looking for a New York bachelor pad following his split from Scarlett Johansson. The Green Lantern star — who split from the 26-year-old beauty in December — is reportedly looking at properties in the Tribeca and SoHo districts of the US city, with Scarlett set to keep the couple’s former $2.1 million New York marital home as part of the settlement.

According to the New York Daily News, the Avengers actress will also be keeping the pair’s $350,000 property in Lafayette, Louisiana.

While Ryan won’t be walking away from the divorce empty handed and is expected to keep the $2.9 million two-bedroom Los Angeles home the couple shared, he reportedly could be required to hand over a further $1.5 million to Scarlett as part of the divorce settlement.

After marrying in September 2008 — just four months after getting engaged — the pair announced the end of their two-year marriage in early December, with 34-year-old Ryan lodging his divorce petition in the Los Angeles Superior Court on December 23.

Speaking in a statement, the couple said of the split, 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.”

While there was no pre-nuptial agreement in place, Ryan is believed to have made more money than his wife during the course of their union.
