Ryan Gosling has officially confirmed his split with Rachel McAdams in his new interview with GQ.

“The only thing I remember is we both went down swingin’ and we called it a draw,” he said of the break up that occurred a few months ago.

Despite being from the same hometown in Canada, Gosling and McAdams met for the first time on the set of The Notebook. The fictional love story that turned into a real one created some intense fans. The pair were never comfortable with the expectations created by the film.

“I mean, God bless The Notebook,” Gosling said. “It introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie. Rachel and my love story is a hell of a lot more romantic than that.”

Gosling also said that Notebook fans seem to be taking the split harder than he is, noting that one fan almost smacked him.

Sources tell Lainey Gossip that the pressure from Notebook fans and the decreasing privacy are the cause of the rift. McAdams, an intensely private person, was apparently so uncomfortable in her own neighbourhood in Toronto that she and Gosling had to meet secretly. Gosling is said to have not minded as much and thought she was overreacting.
