Rachel McAdams, the versatile and talented Canadian actress, has captivated audiences with her performances in a variety of roles, ranging from romantic dramas like “The Notebook” to comedic hits like “Mean Girls.”
While fans eagerly follow her on-screen endeavors, there is an equal fascination with the actress's personal life, particularly the question: Who is Rachel McAdams dating now? Let's explore the enigmatic love life of this Hollywood starlet.
Who is Rachel McAdams?
Rachel McAdams is a Canadian actress known for her diverse performances, which captivate viewers with her talent and personality.
McAdams, who was born on November 17, 1978, in London, Ontario, developed an early interest in the performing arts. Her rise to popularity demonstrates her perseverance and great acting ability.
McAdams originally earned global recognition for her breakout part in the teen comedy “Mean Girls” (2004), in which she played Regina George, the famous high school bad girl.
Her ability to provide depth to even the most stereotyped characters sets her apart. Following this triumph, she starred in various films, demonstrating her versatility as an actress.
Who is Rachel McAdams dating now?
As of this writing, Rachel McAdams appears to be dating Jamie Linden. The two were initially photographed walking through Paris in May 2016. However, since then, the couple has kept their relationship private, with neither commenting about it publicly. Despite this, McAdams has revealed that they have two children: a son and a girl.
So who is Linden? Professionally, he is a filmmaker. His debut in Hollywood was the 2006 film We Are Marshall, which he wrote and co-produced.
A closer look at his résumé reveals that he and McAdams were living parallel lifestyles even before they met: He authored the screenplay for the 2010 version of Nicholas Sparks' Dear John, starring McAdams' The Vow co-star Channing Tatum (remember, Sparks also wrote the novel on which The Notebook was based); and he made his directorial debut in 2011 with 10 Years, which also starred Tatum.

Who else has Rachel McAdams dated?
Despite her high-profile relationship with Ryan Gosling—or perhaps because of it—Rachel McAdams has kept her personal life quite discreet over the years. Here's what we know about her relationships:
Ryan Gosling
Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling notably appeared in the classic 2004 romance The Notebook, which sparked fan excitement a year later when they became real-life lovers.
Ironically, the two supposedly detested each other on set, with Gosling allegedly begging director Nick Cassavetes to replace McAdams in the middle of a sequence!
Despite the hatred, the two began a relationship in 2005. Unfortunately, the relationship was not meant to endure; they split up two years later, in 2007.
Josh Lucas
After her 2007 separation from Ryan Gosling, McAdams had a brief romance with Sweet Home Alabama actor Josh Lucas, whom she saw in April 2009. They tried to keep their romance out of the public, so it's difficult to pinpoint when it ended. However, the couple appears to have had a brief relationship.
Ben Jackson
McAdams was said to have dated Ben Jackson, the personal assistant of Jude Law and a former model.
The couple was seen going around New York City, with a passerby commenting, “They were laughing a lot and looked like they were having a good time.” Their relationship appears to have terminated shortly after.
Michael Sheen
Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen may appear like an unusual combination, yet they dated for two years. They met on the set of 2011's Midnight in Paris in 2010, although McAdams claims they did not get acquainted until after production was completed.
“Michael and I did not get together while filming Midnight in Paris, which is something I dislike doing while working. We became good friends, which I believe is a terrific way to get started.

Patrick Sambrook
McAdams' final (public) relationship before meeting long-term lover Jamie Linden was with Canadian music manager Patrick Sambrook. In May 2014, the two were pictured kissing following a tennis date in Toronto. Because of McAdams' extremely reclusive demeanor, little else is known about their relationship.
