Scarlett Johansson Splits With Boyfriend Nate Naylor

Scarlett Johansson with Nate Naylor is honored with a star on The Hollywood Walk Of Fame on May 2, 2012.

One of the most desired women in the world is back on the market.

After about a year of dating, Scarlett Johansson has split from NYC ad executive Nate Naylor, a source confirms to Us Weekly. The breakup occurred within the last week.

The Hitchcock actress, 27, was first photographed snuggling with Naylor, 38, in February 2012, with sources explaining to Us Weekly at the time that the couple had already been dating for five months.

“They met though mutual friends,” one pal explained. “And they were hot and heavy right off the bat.” A native of Phoenix, Ariz., Naylor is “a really interesting guy . . . more artist than businessman,” the pal continued.

Johansson opened up about dating the non-celebrity in the May issue of Vogue. “It must be very strange for him,” mused the Oscar nominee, who divorced Ryan Reynolds in late 2010 and rebounded in early 2011 with Sean Penn, 52, for a five month romance. (Reynolds, 35, wed for the second time last month, exchanging vows with Blake Lively after less than a year of dating.)

“It’s totally bizarre,” she continued of Naylor. “It’s an adjustment — I mean, it’s got to be an adjustment for him way more than it was for me at nineteen. But he’s remarkably good about it.”

Back in August, the sexy couple were spotted having a romantic vacation in Paris, strolling through the City of Lights as they held onto one another.

Last month, Johansson’s rep denied split speculation after the stunning actress was photographed at the Democratic National Convention holding hands with a man other than Naylor: Jared Leto, a former fling from several years back.

“Scarlett is still dating Nate,” the rep told Us. “This is very innocent. Scarlett and Jared have remained friends, nothing more, nothing less.”

Russell Crowe and Danielle Spencer Split: Report

More than 20 years after the couple met playing lovers in the 1990 movie The Crossing, Russell Crowe and Danielle Spencer may not have their Hollywood happy ending after all.

Married in April 2003, the New Zealand-born Oscar winner, 48, and his Aussie musician wife, 43, are reportedly no longer together, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. Crowe’s rep has not responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

The couple’s apparent split comes after rumors of a rocky romance swirled over the summer.

In June, Spencer was photographed out at a Sydney casino lounge with Damian Whitewood, her pro dance partner on season 12 of Australia’s Dancing with the Stars. Photos in Australian media showed the two with their arms around each other.

However, days after the cozy pictures of Spencer and Whitewood surfaced, a photo of Crowe affectionally greeting Spencer at the Los Angeles International Airport seemed to hush the buzz.

Spencer is currently in Sydney with their children – sons Charles, 8½, and Tennyson, 6 – while Crowe stays in N.Y.C., where he took the stage at the Gramercy Theatre Saturday night with Alan Doyle, Sting and Les Misérables costar Samantha Barks.

Crowe, who was famously linked to Meg Ryan during his less-tame days on the set of the 2000 romantic drama Proof of Life, is also filming Noah, a biblical epic costarring Emma Watson.

The couple, who got engaged in April, tied the knot in an outdoor ceremony in Charlotte, Tenn. They then celebrated with friends and family in a rustic house on the grounds.

Followill, who looked country-cool wearing Lucchese boots, and his bride worked with celebrity event planner Sharon Sacks to create a bash that matches their casual vibe.

A guest tells PEOPLE, “They had a great farm-to-table cuisine with all of their favorite things. It was down home and very real. It was very much true to their style.”

Before the ceremony Followill sent a lighthearted Tweet: “Today, I get married. It’s the biggest step I’ve ever taken. I’ve dreamed about this day since I was a little girl.”

Patterson added on Twitter: “Marrying my best friend today. I’m the luckiest girl in the world. :)”

The bassist appears to have found his perfect mate in Patterson. Last year, Jared spoke to PEOPLE about the pressure he feels from his brothers to find the perfect girl to marry.

“I know it’s stupid,” he said, “but you feel pressure in the sense that people are judging you. It goes into your decision-making, like, ‘What are my brothers going to think?’ I’m not talking about looks obviously, even status, you just have to find somebody that people like because everyone has settled down.”

Followill is getting back to work quickly. He’ll release his debut EP with his new side-project Smoke & Jackal on Oct. 16.
