Gosling and Mendes have been together since 2011, when they starred opposite one another in The Place Beyond The Pines.

And, while they don’t often talk about one another, Gosling made headlines when – during his Golden Globes acceptance speech for Best Actor in La La Land – he thanked his partner for staying home and holding the fort so that he could have “one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film”.

“You don’t get to be up here without standing on the shoulders of a mountain of people,” he said, “and there’s just no time to thank everyone I just would like to try and thank one person properly and say that while I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer.”
