The breakup rumors involving Ryan Gosling and girlfriend Eva Mendes have been recycled. Again.
The latest gossip on the block reports that Gosling left Mendes for a German model -- a rumor that first made headlines in mid-March.
Over the weekend, the Daily Mail posted new photos of Mendes, 38, back in Los Angeles after spending the past several months in Thailand, where Gosling, 31, had been filming.
While the photos (of Mendes stepping out of a salon in Los Feliz) are new, the accompanying text is not.
But as Hollywood gossip would have it, the pair made headlines on Monday, most likely due to the Daily Mail article, with everyone from Celebitchy to Toronto Life reporting on the alleged split.
Ryan and Eva are having trouble seeing eye to eye. ... He was having dinner with a blonde model. ... He tried to disguise himself with a woolly hat and scarf and seemed eager not to be noticed as they sat at a beach table, but he was clearly entranced by her, a source told the Daily Mail in its original report.
The source also added that Gosling recently took time off from his relationship with Mendes to think.
As the latest rumors on Gosling and Mendes continue to give false hope to fans of both stars, here's a look back at some of Gosling's girlfriends of the past. Question is, will Mendes soon be joining the club?
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes
ReutersBefore things got serious with Eva Mendes, Ryan Gosling had a brief fling with Olivia Wilde during Spring 2011. While Gosling was in Cincinnati filming “The Ides of March,” the actor took Wilde to a Mexican restaurant downtown for a “cute, friendly brunch,” a source told People magazine at the time. Clearly, the pair’s brief fling is over, now with Gosling dating Mendes and Wilde dating SNL’s Jason Sudeikis.REUTERSRyan Gosling loves Disneyland. Before he took current gal pal Eva Mendes to the happiest place on earth, Gosling took “Gossip Girl” actress Blake Lively to see Mickey Mouse and friends in October 2010. Lively was later spotted at the New York premiere of “Blue Valentine,” where the two stayed close at the film’s after-party. (Blake’s moved on to another Ryan since: fellow Canadian Ryan Reynolds).REUTERSGosling seems to be a man of short flings. In March 2010, the Canadian actor had a brief thing going on with Casey LaBow, who was an up-and-coming star at the time (thanks to her Sundance picture “Skateland”). The two were first spotted on a romantic date in Venice, Calif., but didn’t make any more dating headlines after that.REUTERSDisneyland, again.

REUTERSRemember “The Notebook?” Remember Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams getting cute and cuddly on screen and off? That lasted for about three years. And that was more than five years ago. How time flies!“A set may seem like a good place for romance, but I don’t think it’s very conducive; it’s too distracting. Every relationship I’ve had with a coworker has come after the fact, because you wind up actually spending a lot of time with those people promoting the movie,” McAdams told Glamour earlier this year.McAdams has been dating her “Midnight in Paris” costar Michael Sheen since fall 2010.REUTERSIn 2004, Gosling and “X-Men” actress Famke Janssen were spotted getting cozy at the 2004 Glamour Women of the Year Awards.

In 2002, after meeting on the set of “Murder by Numbers.” Gosling recently revealed that out of all the ladies he’s dated, only two have made it to his “true love” list.“I had two of the greatest girlfriends of all time. I haven’t met anybody who could top them,” he told UK paper The Times in September 2011, of Bullock and McAdams.REUTERS
