However, besides Bullock and McAdams, there were several other celebrities linked to Gosling.Kat Dennings, who played the fan-favorite Darcy Lewis in MCU and Max Black in2 Broke Girls, was spotted on a date with Gosling in 2009. The two were seen together at Disneyland, which appeared to be one of theBlade Runner 2049actor’s go-to places for dating. However, Dennings refused to address the rumors in anMTV interviewa month later.

Another romance rumor that surfaced involvedBlake Lively, who was seen together with theLa La Landactor at Disneyland. This was during the time when Lively had broken things off withPenn Badgleyand before she metRyan Reynolds, both in 2010.

Ryan Gosling Referred To Two Actresses As His Greatest Girlfriends
Ryan Gosling has a great family life with his partner Eva Mendes and their daughters, Esmeralda Amada and Amada Lee. However, in September 2011, when Mendes and Gosling began their relationship, he shared with The Times UK that he considered Sandra Bullock and Rachel McAdams to be two of the greatest girlfriends he’d ever had. Gosling told The Times (via US Magazine):
“I had two of the greatest girlfriend of all time. I haven’t met anybody who could top them.”

Further, theBlue Valentineactor also laid blame on Hollywood for being the reason why both relationships didn’t work out. He explained that the show business aspect took priority in the relationships, hindering the potential for any other aspects to grow. Gosling added:
“Showbusiness is the bad guy. When both people are in show business it’s too much showbusiness. It takes all of the light, so nothing else can grow.”
Notably, Gosling’s relationship with McAdams became highly publicized, especially because they didn’t see eye to eye when they first met. Both had rumored fights on the set ofThe Notebook, which were later confirmed by the film’s director. They only became a couple sometime after the movie’s release and enjoyed a three-year relationship before parting ways for unknown reasons.
