“Show business is the bad guy”: Sandra Bullock’s $70M Rich Ex-Boyfriend Blames Hollywood For His Greatest Heartbreak
The Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock has an intriguing dating history. Bullock once dated Hollywood’s most charming actor, Ryan Gosling. The former couple put aside all the stereotypical norms and chose to fall in love even with an age gap of 16 years. The two met on the sets of the psychological thriller Murder by Numbers, and love blossomed between the two.
The couple tried their best to keep their relationship under wraps, but it’s not so easy to trick the media. Their red carpet appearances were enough to get a hint of their love lives. After dating for two years, the couple parted ways. The duo didn’t make any statements about their breakup and moved on in their respective lives. Years after their breakup, Gosling spoke about the reason for it.
Why did Sandra Bullock and Ryan Gosling end their relationship?
Sandra Bullock started dating Ryan Gosling in 2001 while they were filming Murder by Numbers. Bullock was 37 years old, whereas Gosling was just 21 years old. But their 16-year age gap didn’t stop them from falling in love. Though fans couldn’t see their chemistry in the film, their red-carpet appearances were enough to show the spark between the two. Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last for too long, as the twosome ended their relationship after just two years, in 2003.
Since the couple always kept their relationship private, they didn’t bother to state the reason for their separation. However, years after their relationship ended, the La La Land actor opened up about his breakup with the Speed actress. Gosling accused the entertainment industry of being a hindrance to his relationship. During a conversation with The Times in 2011, the actor shared,
“Show business is the bad guy. When both people are in show business it’s too much show business. It takes all of the light, so nothing else can grow.”
However, it has been years since the couple parted ways, and they both have moved on in their respective lives with their partners. Ryan Gosling is married to Eva Mendes and shares two daughters with her. Sandra Bullock is also linked up with Bryan Randall.
