Gosling previously dated Rachel McAdams, his Canadian co-star in The Notebook.

Mendes had a long relationship with filmmaker George Augusto.

In February, Mendes shot down pregnancy rumours during an appearance on Ellen. “It all started because I didn’t want to go through the scanners at the airport,” she said.
