People started noticing the couple growing close, which made them the center of attention. While Lively looked at him with smoldering eyes, Gosling tenderly touched her leg. Later in the evening, when the “Blue Valentine” actor rose from his seat, Lively grabbed his hand and whispered something that made Gosling sit back down.
Following the incident, the two went their different ways and were later seen having dinner at the Standard Grill with two other people. The two were visible in public for the second occasion at this time. None of their publicists replied when asked about the situation.
However, Gosling’s buddy claimed that although they had gone out on several occasions and were interested in one another, he didn’t believe they were dating seriously. He continued that Lively and Gosling were only courting on a casual basis, but he could see it developing. The dating reports eventually stopped.
