Canadian super couple Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are reportedly engaged. According to Life + Style mag, the pair have decided to renew their pledge to wed after a “touchy” reconciliation following a rocky period in their relationship. “Ryan didn’t have to repropose,” says an insider. “He and Rachel just agreed it was time to think about getting married again because they had worked out their problems. Ryan says he’s thrilled that Rachel is wearing her engagement ring again, which Ryan gave her early in 2005. It was always a secret engagement, and they will never confirm it publicly, but it’s back on, and they’re happy again, planning some family vacations together and doing the private-party rounds to support Ryan’s role in Half Nelson.” The source claims the pair are hoping for a low-profile wedding and may even elope. “Ryan says they’re looking for a good time to slip away and do it, and he’s even said New Year’s might be the perfect time for him and Rachel to make things permanent,” said the insider. “Starting a family and sharing their lives together is so much more important to them than which magazine they can sell their wedding pictures to.”

I think Ryan Gosling is probably one the most underrated actors out there.  He has stayed out of the limelight by choosing mostly smaller, indie rolls – but I love those movies.  I’m really looking forward to seeing this movie, the buzz on his acting is outrageous.

Here is a section from the article in W Magazine.

Since The Believer premiered at Sundance in 2001, the actor has rigorously steered clear of the road most traveled — no superheroes, no summer blockbusters — and that has made him an even hotter commodity. Off duty, he mostly stays out of the spotlight, using his fame to campaign for Darfur or build houses in Mississippi post – Hurricane Katrina. His girlfriend, Rachel McAdams, 29, whom he met on the set of The Notebook — they began dating long after the movie wrapped — is equally adept at dodging the obvious. (She famously walked off a Vanity Fair cover shoot than pose nude.)

Gosling insists he had no idea they would become an item while they were filming. “We were together long before we were physically together,” he says. “All I knew is that she was a force to be reckoned with. How was I going to reckon with it, I had no idea. She’s not someone you can ever dismiss or put into any category. She’s many things.”

An elegant if sappy love story, The Notebook was a sleeper hit in the summer of 2004. Gosling and McAdams have never watched it together. Indeed, the movie is so swooningly romantic that if they did, in all likelihood they would have to break up. How could their real-life relationship ever live up to the grand gestures, the sexually charged arguments and the deep and constant confessions of true love?

“Yeah, every time I come home, Rachel screams, “‘Why didn’t you write me?’” Gosling jokes, citing a particularly wrenching scene from the tearjerker. “Every morning I put arrows outside her bed. And I build her a house every week.” Still, he won’t comment on engagement or marriage. “Ask her,” he says, though when I suggest we call her to do just that, he quickly changes the subject to his reading habits.
