For Canadians who grew up during the Notebook era of romance, there were two truths: Death is inevitable, and Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling are meant to be together. Forever.
In fact, almost a decade after having broken up, the Canadian exes are still being 'shipped, scrapbooked, and made into mosaics.
We just haven't given up.
But recent rumours that Rachel might be dating True Detective co-star Taylor Kitsch — ANOTHER VERY HOT CANADIAN — has McGosling hopefuls re-evaluating everything.
And people are starting to change their tune...
I'm totally okay with Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch becoming Canada's new golden couple. #McGoslingForever
'Cause, like, they're both incredibly attractive and wonderfully Canadian. The math still works out.
Rachel McAdams/Taylor Kitsch is the ultimate Canadian power couple tbh #HappyCanadaDay
YAAAAAS. Cutest Canadian couple = Rachel McAdams & Taylor Kitsch. Make beautiful babies already. https://t.co/fM9Wi8O8Gr
And even though some of us are still holding onto the crumbs of McGosling during this new revelation...
But Ryan gosling and Rachel Mcadams just belong together
the fact that rachel mcadams and ryan gosling didn't end up together makes my heart ache
It's time to finally let go.
Rachel McAdams and Taylor Kitsch are apparently dating. After 8 years of denial, I'm finally over the Rachel McAdams-Ryan Gosling split. #33
There is a new Canadian power couple in town.
We have a new king and queen of Canada http://t.co/5Mprlf5Qzq
Canada's new royal couple. #TaylorKitsch #RachelMcAdams @VirginRadioTO @MauraGrierson
Now, let's bow our heads in silence and in memoriam of McGosling. And honour the potential future of Canada's McKitsch.
Because no matter where your Canadian relationship politics stand, we can all agree on one thing:
Dear Rachel McAdams: Dating Ryan Gosling AND Taylor Kitsch in one lifetime is just greedy.
