Ryan Gosling refrains from mingling with ex Rachel McAdams because of Eva Mendes

Ryan Gosling reportedly “keeps away” from ex-girlfriend and co-star, Rachel McAdams, because of his current girlfriend, Eva Mendes.

According to In Touch Weekly, the Ghost Rider star does not like it when Gosling mingles with his The Notebook co-star even at parties.

Speaking on the matter, a source told the publication, “If it were up to Ryan, he’d still be friends with Rachel, but Eva would never go for that.”

“He still crosses paths with Rachel at industry parties, but he keeps any interaction short because he’s so afraid it might upset Eva,” they added.

For the unversed, Gosling started dating McAdams in 2005, following the release of their 2004 romantic drama. The two, however, called it quits two years later.

Gosling was linked to multiple women following his breakup with McAdams including Blake Lively and Olivia Wilde but ended up with Mendes, with whom he shares two daughters.

The insider further stated that Mendes “is still all too aware of the incredible love story Ryan and Rachel shared and although she knows Rachel’s in a long-term relationship, she still gets weirded out when Ryan even talks about her.”

While Mendes prioritizes staying at home with her daughters over attending Hollywood events and parties, she “still keeps Ryan on such a tight leash.”

“She would hear of something from other people and get on his case, even if it was the most innocent encounter,” the insider added. “Eva knows Ryan loves and adores her, but she’ll always be jealous of Rachel.”
