Though they appear to have put split rumors behind them, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are still maintaining their distance from each other in public.

Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams Rekindling Flame?

Both actors were spotted out and about in Hollywood in recent days, but without their significant other by their side. The couple has not been seen together in public for nearly a year, often sparking rumors that their on/off relationship is completely off.

Gosling was spotted in public for the first time in a while March 26 as he pumped gas at an L.A. gas station. The heartthrob, who has been reclusive while working on his directorial debut, How to Catch a Monster, fueled up his SUV while wearing black, jeans and boots with a blue and black plaid button-down shirt. His blond hair was slicked back with gel, his eyes were covered by sunglasses, and he was sporting a decent amount of facial hair.

Mendes Calls Gosling 'The Best?'

The only thing missing from Gosling's outing was his 40-year-old girlfriend of two-and-a-half years.

Likewise, Mendes was spotted without her beau on Sunday as she shopped for flowers. The actress sported her own sunglasses, rolled up blue jeans, brown leather boots and a leopard print coat.

The couple has been the constant subject of break-up rumors for months, with reports of conflicting views on commitment and a future together.

Reports also recently surfaced that Gosling was potentially rekindling his flame with former girlfriend and The Notebook co-star Rachel McAdams.

Sources told OK! Magazine earlier in March that McAdams was trying to win Gosling back, and that Gosling had been somewhat receptive to the idea.

"Rachel has been very low-key about it all," the source said at the time. "She's played it very smart and used the whole 'just friends' angle to get close to Ryan again, but she 100 percent wants him back. He's not the cheating type, but he hasn't been honest with Eva about how much contact he has with Rachel."
