Top Women Ryan Gosling Has Dated

Ryan Gosling generally keeps his personal life private, so information about it comes mainly from what’s been publicly reported – like appearances, interviews, and established timelines. Throughout his career, he’s been romantically connected to several colleagues and there have been a few rumors, but only a small number of these connections have been openly confirmed as relationships.

Here’s a look at the women who have been most associated with him, beginning with his current, long-term partner. We’ll then cover his previously confirmed relationships and widely reported rumors – often linked to his work and public appearances.

Eva Mendes

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes first connected on the set of ‘The Place Beyond the Pines’ in 2011 and quickly became a couple. They were seen together while promoting the movie, but preferred quiet, private dates instead of frequent red carpet appearances-reflecting their desire to keep their relationship out of the spotlight. They expanded their family with the arrival of their first daughter, Esmeralda, in 2014, and their second daughter, Amada, in 2016, and have consistently prioritized keeping their family life private.

Both individuals have sometimes made short statements confirming the sequence of events, but they’ve generally kept private details to themselves. She’s acknowledged their film on its anniversaries, and he’s mentioned how she changed his perspective on family in interviews related to his work on films like ‘La La Land’ and ‘Barbie’. They seldom attend public events together and haven’t shared pictures of their children, instead highlighting achievements related to their projects rather than private life.

Rachel McAdams

After filming ‘The Notebook’, he and Rachel McAdams began dating, a relationship that lasted from 2005 to 2007, with a brief rekindling in 2008. During those years, they were frequently seen together at award shows and industry events, and paparazzi captured them on casual outings in cities like Los Angeles and Toronto. These public appearances and photos helped establish a clear timeline of their relationship for fans following the film’s release. It was a highly publicized romance.

Their romance developed while they each worked on different films after The Notebook, leading to periods where they only saw each other in certain cities or at film festivals. They didn’t work together on any new movies during their time together, so most public sightings came from old news articles, event attendee lists, and industry reports when their films were being promoted at the same events. This meant limited opportunities for public interaction.

Sandra Bullock

Ryan Gosling and Sandra Bullock first connected while filming ‘Murder by Numbers’ and were a couple from 2002 to 2003. Their relationship became known to the public through appearances at film-related events and photos taken in Los Angeles and Austin – a city where Sandra Bullock frequently spent time when not working. The timing of their romance coincided with the film’s release, meaning they first connected on set and were publicly seen together during promotional events.

Once the film left cinemas, people stopped spotting them together as often. Later, different publications wrote about their relationship, especially when looking back at his work from the early 2000s. It’s a relationship that’s always come up when people talk about his past, and it’s backed up by interviews from the time. People mentioned they met on setand tried to make things work while both starting out in their careers. It really feels like one of the most well-documented parts of his dating history, and I’ve always been fascinated by it. It’s a sweet story.

Olivia Wilde

In 2011, reports connected him to Olivia Wilde after they were seen together at dinner in Los Angeles and on a trip to an aquarium near Cincinnati while he was filming ‘The Ides of March’. News outlets described these outings as casual and happening when both were single and traveling for work, which led to rumors of a romance.

Both individuals denied being in a relationship, and the rumors were based on just a few reported sightings. These mentions mainly appeared in year-end lists of speculated couples and in articles looking back at their busy schedules in 2011. This timing strongly suggests the connection occurred during the production and promotion of that particular political drama.

Kat Dennings

In 2009, people began speculating about a possible romance between Ryan Gosling and Kat Dennings. This followed several relaxed public appearances, most notably a well-known visit to Disneyland and quiet meals together in Los Angeles. This period coincided with both actors living and working in Southern California, keeping them close to home instead of traveling for projects.

There was no official confirmation, so these mentions are still considered rumors. The reports keep appearing in articles that simply list brief encounters based on where people were seen in public, not on any official statements. They’re usually included with other similar notes mentioning just a few dates and locations, without much further information.

Casey LaBow

In 2010, he was connected to Casey LaBow when pictures and other evidence showed them together in both Los Angeles and New York. Reports about them surfaced in entertainment news columns that followed celebrities’ activities each week. These columns mentioned they were seen having meals and spending time with friends, rather than attending formal events or movie premieres.

Because there wasn’t a visible, shared project connecting them, the idea of a link arose from casual observations, not official plans. Discussions about this connection died down quickly, and looking back, it’s generally remembered as a short-lived rumor supported by only a few appearances.

Famke Janssen

In 2004, reports surfaced connecting Ryan Gosling and Famke Janssen after they were spotted at popular New York locations frequented by actors when they weren’t filming. This happened around the time Gosling was transitioning between projects after ‘The Notebook’ and Janssen was working on the East Coast, making it possible they crossed paths that year.

Similar to other details from his early life, neither source provided confirmation, and the reports weren’t followed up with further investigation. This information generally shows up in lists that distinguish established relationships from unverified rumors, and it continues to be listed as a rumor, tied to that specific year.

Jaime Murray

Around late 2009, there were rumors that he and Jaime Murray had a connection. These rumors stemmed from reports about them both attending the same parties, with brief mentions appearing in gossip columns. These mentions coincided with industry events held in Los Angeles during the holiday season, a time when many fleeting rumors surface due to the frequent gatherings and interconnected social circles.

After the first reports, no further pictures or statements provided any solid evidence to support the story. Consequently, it’s largely remained a minor detail in the history of dating, often mentioned as one of the many unverified connections that appeared when there was a lot of activity and frequent public events.
