Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson have separated, according to various online reports.

The couple are reportedly living apart, and sources say the split is amicable. A source tells Us Weekly that it was Johansson who initiated the split. "The big problem with their relationship is the distance," says the source. "They spent a lot of time apart when they are working ... she's been unhappy for a while."

The two got married in September 2008 after a five month engagement, and even though we're heard a rumor last month that there were marital troubles, we never thought they'd actually call it quits!

Think this is just a trial separation? Or will they file for divorce?

UPDATE
The couple has released the following statement:

    "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 privacy isn't expected, it's certainly appreciated."
