   Report says Charlize Theron was dumped by Ryan Reynolds after 2 months because she wanted babies

They could have easily been one of the best-looking couples in Hollywood, and they’re already broken up because of busy schedules and conflicting interests. Ryan Reynolds broke up with Charlize Theron when he found out she wanted to settle down, it has emerged.

As the latest issue of Us Weekly (story via here) puts it, the two only dated for the summer and, while their romance seemed promising at first, they’re already on their separate ways.

Charlize and Ryan got off to an excellent start but being apart for most of the time because of their schedules and wanting different things from life eventually left its toll on their relationship.

He was the one that did the dumping, the magazine says, citing a well placed and (as expected) anonymous source.

“A source says the newly divorced Ryan Reynolds ended his brief summer fling with Charlize Theron, 36, in late July [after two months] because he ‘only wanted something casual, but she’s in a rush to settle down, have kids and start a family since she’s getting older’,” the publication writes.

Charlize didn’t expect Ryan to break it off with her for the simple reason that she wanted something more serious from a relationship than just a fling, the spy goes on to say.

“Charlize didn’t take it very well when he broke it off. She knows deep down that it wouldn’t have worked, but she is pretty bummed about it all,” the insider is quoted as saying.

“They just dated, mostly long-distance. They’re both too busy. And they were hardly ever together anyway,” another insider explains for the same publication.

Perhaps it’s just as well that Ryan is single again, since rumor has it that his ex-wife Scarlett Johansson is set to get him back, even if that means for her sacrificing a few years from her career to have his baby.

As we also noted the other day, reports claim that Scarlett saw Ryan with good friend Sandra Bullock on the red carpet and realized that she’d never stopped loving him. Ryan, it is said, is not interested in getting back with her.
