Jude Law Set Up Josh Lucas & Rachel McAdams
Jude Law was the one who played cupid for his Sherlock Holmes co-star Rachel McAdams, 30, with his pal Josh Lucas, 37.
“Rachel is very comfortable with him,” an insider tells Life & Style. And now that Sherlock filming has moved from the U.K. to Josh’s home, NYC, “she’s having a great time hanging out with him in the city.”
The new couple were recently spotted smooching at the Purple Ball celebrating President Obama’s inauguration in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 20. But Rachel is being cautious since her breakup with Ryan Gosling. “Rachel doesn’t want to get crazy serious right now about anyone,” says the insider. “They’re having fun.”

Cute couple.
They are a cute couple, I love them both.
I call bullsh#t on this whole story….
Where there is smoke there is fire! I’m happy for Rachel and I’m glad she is having fun with him. Too bad her “fans” can’t support her and instead refuse to admit that she might be seeing him.
I like him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
uh oh - beware of THE MCGOSLINGS!! hahahahahaha! i give it five minutes before someone says that us weekly made this whole thing up and that tabloids are always wrong and that she has never even met josh lucas.
Can’t wait to see her in The State of Play.. opposite Russell Crowe ..
and Helen Mirren.. First off she is not shy about her relationship with
Ryan.. That is silly to say that.. Just like how can anyone move on with
out the media saying that she is not over him yet. She is sooooo ove
Ryan… and this time for good!!! You can be friends with your ex..
oh damn! I was too late. someone already called bs on this story! hahahahaha! ryan and rachael threads on jj always make me laugh.
Great couple. I feel bad for Miss Rachel. People really want her with her ex-boyfriend and that’s just unfair to both of them. That relationship has been over forever. I agree with #4. I hope people support Rachel and her new relationship.
GREAT actress, BEAUTIFUL girl, HOT new boyfriend! Rachel McAdams has it all! GLAD to see her move on from Ryan finally! It’s been two years?
Hey I was/am a McGosling fan too, but I’m happy shes seeing someone who obviously makes her happy. You know there are some fans who can move on, but there are also the “haters” who continue to taunt McGosling fans in the hope to incite arguments and disagreements to stir the baord.
I don’t mind cos I think the board comes alive and its funny to watch the arguing going back to and fro.
Ryan is probably getting his rocks off too, so all is good!!
Josh & Jude are both players!!She is too smart to even go there.How long till Ryan & Rachel give it a third try??Ha Ha!!!
#11, some mcgosling fans can at least accept that they are not together and will move on and support rachel who she is with and ryan who he is with. unfortunately, it appears a vast majority of them chant the “r+r forever” mantra and refuse to believe they have moved on from each other and those are the annoying ones on blogs and sites. are these people 13? it’s hardly considered being a hater to be annoyed by them.
lovley couple.
#12 sounds familiar. *rolls eyes*
Rachel was probably sick and tired of reading about Ryan f**king everything in sight, so decided to get a lil sumthin, sumthin for herself…YEAH…you go you little horny thing!!!
glad to know #15. Josh fan??
I’m so happy for Rachel. Read the article in Us Weekly at lunch today and Josh’s quote was very sweet. Seems like she snagged a good one!
no please!
Hey BS, and you’re suggesting RYAN’s not a card carrying playa? Get over it….Noah and Alli are over, and there’s nothing you can do about it but cry. No need to talk trash just because you can’t handle it. Josh is a great person.
LOVE JOSH AND RACHEL TOGETHER!!!!
+++++ US Weekly is also reporting that they are a couple!! ++++++
I’m really liking them. Both seem so nice.
Chloe, you go girl! Don’t worry about BS, we all know who she is–diehard McGosling to the end I guess. *rolls eyes* And considering how much she loves Ryan, I’m sure she thinks he is sitting at home waiting for Rachel. Josh is great and I’m happy that Rachel is with him.
They make a very attractive couple.
I hear they are both environmentalists!! Nice! :-)
Wow Amanda!Sound a little bitter.Are you a closet McGosling?Its okay really.
US magazine has a nice article too
Josh’s quote about Rachel is really sweet. they’re cute
His eyes are amazing! Never noticed them before.
While I’m happy for Rachel, Josh is looking really rough lately???
Looking at those inaugural ball pics, makes me wonder what the hell happened to his hair and all??? Did he even bother to wash??… or did he just throw some gooey hair products in and hope it’ll do the trick??…um…Nah!!
Scrub up, shallow as I am, I want Rachel to be seen with someone hot and CLEAN…not hot and DIIIRRRTYY!!!…and not DIRTY in the *ahem* bedroom sense!!…actually… well he can be that too!!
wow, lucas can be so old for her. first a young boy dump her and now she’s dating older guys? :)
Naw, BS. Just a Rachel fan who is sick of you and all the other diehards slamming someone new in Rachel’s life every chance you get when you don’t know a darn thing about him. I feel sorry for you actually. You spend all your time on a Rachel McAdams board, when you don’t really care about her. You just care about her ex-boyfriend and their ex-relationship.
What a GREAT pair!!!
I hope people leave them alone and let them date in peace.
Both seem really grounded and nice.
Sounds like you spend alot of time on Rachels board also!So dont go throwin stones girl!!*rolls eyes*
amanda & chloe - you rock. there are many of us that are tired of that poster on rmo with her childish posts (i’m pretty sure we are talking about the same person). i can’t believe how bitter some people are about rachel moving on to josh lucas! he appears to be a great guy and i’m happy for her.
– I read his quote in US also and I thought it was so nice too
– I love Rachel, she can do no wrong in my eyes
YAY!!!……..I was hoping this rumor was true………..They are a beautiful couple.
So happy for Rachel! She deserves this. I read the quote in US WEEKLY also, and Josh seems happy as well!
Oh, and b s…shut up.
this is cool i like them
what did the quote in US weekly say??
I don’t have the magazine, but I saw it at the news stand today and Josh said (paraphrasing, obviously) that he was dating someone that he likes a lot and she likes him back a lot and that it’s great. But cuter than that!
YAYYYY! So happy for Josh and Rachel. Great couple. I always thought they should get together. They have so many common interests and they seem more suited for each other than their exes.
rachel BLAND Mcadams. She’s boring no wonder ryan dumped her canadian ass. Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Met them at a party in Georgetown a week ago - love the work they both do with the environment. They were holding hands and they looked happy and comfortable together (a bit tired though - it was early morning after all). I thought she made a cute couple with Ryan Gossling, but I’m pulling for them.
Alexa Davalos is prettier and much more interesting.
Jade, then why don’t you go find her and shag her silly?
McLucas, that sounds great! I’m sure Ryan wishes them the best of luck, trust me Ryan’s not home sitting alone, he’s either djing at Bardot or getting ready to film his next movie.
Jude picks better for his friends than he does for himself! Maybe one of his friends will return the favor…
SOOO CUTE!!!
As a Rachel fan, if she’s happy that’s all that matters. Josh has stunning eyes, to have to look at those in the morning isn’t tough at all. I also doubt Ryan is crying himself to sleep over this, I’m sure there are plenty of women helping him lick his wounds.**no pun intended**
Nice job, Jude!!! There look like a great couple!
Nice job, Jude! Josh seems like a nice guy.
Jude will find his girl eventually. Probably not as easy as one would think to find a woman who’s ready to take on 3 stepkids, unless she’s got kids herself.

Ok, how did that post twice? I only hit it submit once (?)
Oh well, sorry.
PJ, didn’t mean to copy your intro. I didn’t see your post before I posted, or I wouldn’t have been a copycat! :)
I think that’s a good point Sheryl. I think it would be hard for someone without kids to deal with him having not just three kids but also a very present ex-wife.
omg it was them! my husband and I saw them standing outside the fairmont when we got back from the parties! they were so cute! they had their arms wrapped around each other (it was damn cold!) and he was kissing her face all over and rubbing her back! i think they were waiting for their car or a taxi.
Loving this! Love the first hand accounts of seeing them together, love that Josh has given a quote to US Weekly about them dating, love that Rachel has finally moved on from the Goose and love that she sounds like she’s happy! Huge yay yay!!
Thanks for sharing your story, Whitney! They sound very cute!
Rachel McAdams in love makes me happy! She’s my favorite. Josh is a catch…cool!
Aww. That sighting is so cute Whitney! You are so lucky. So is number 42! I’m going to NYC for Valentine’s Day with my boyfriend, maybe I’ll see them!
Excellent taste in men she has doesn’t she?
Terrific sightings!
I’m jealous that she had Ryan Gosling and now has Josh Lucas!
Some girls have all the luck in the world.
NO WAY!!! She should get back with Ryan. They were perfect together!!!
If this is even true probably wont even go anywhere.Her and Ryan will end up back together again.
Rian is a womanizer now!
Rachel and Josh look great together and sound cute, I’m really liking this matchup. Well done Jude!
SOOOO HOT THESE TWO— ;)
now i wish someone would fix me up with jude…..i love that guy…..
Bee you know Ryan ??Why call him a womanizer?
OMG!! THIS IS SUCH A GREAT MATCH!!
Why didn’t I think of it? Now if only Jude would call me we could double date!!!
i wish jude finds the woman who is right for him…..he’s got three beautiful children who are the centerpiece of his life. he is NOT a player. he was with sadie frost for ten years a nd sienna for three on and off. if it weren’t for the N—-ny incident you didn’t hear about jude playing the field. the film business is rife with cheating actors…much more so than jude…please don’t let one indiscretion taint him forever. who among all of us haven’t made a mistake once….let’s have a little forgiveness here.
Dolores, who are you talking to????
sheryl
i was addressing #12…who called jude a player.
Oh, must have overlooked that one…well, apparently this person thinks everyone in this situation but Ryan is a player. Sounds more like they’re just pissed that Rachel has moved on and are holding out for a Ryan and Rachel reunion.
They are a cute couple. I think Rachel has a very bright career ahead, and have enjoyed her movies. I have to laugh about the comments about Ryan being a “player”. Josh has the same rep. & on the NYC scene he has earned the reputation as “Party Boy” Josh Lucas. Josh is a known “womanizer”. Maybe meeting Rachel will turn that around. I have follwed Josh’s career for a few years. He is very talented, but needs to choose some better projects. I wish nothing but the best for him. I hope he is happy, but I also hope this is just not a rebound on Rachel’s part. Sorry, it just seems that she and Ryan will always have a special connected.

I hope Rachel and Josh are a couple and try to make a go of it !!
I think they could be really really great together!!! :-)
@74, Their connection is they did a movie and then dated, and now they’re not. That’s not a special connection, that’s Hollywood.
Karma - true they did a movie and ended up dating 4 years after the fact, 4 years is a long time in Hollywood years! lol
74, “Their connection is they did a movie and then dated, and now they’re not. That’s not a special connection, that’s Hollywood.”
they stayed together for 4 years after the movie, in Hollyweird that is a relationship! lol
JOSH GETS A THUMBS UP IN MY BOOK!!
AND RACHEL IS AWESOME
SO ITS ALL GOOD — NICE COUPLE!
#78, where did I say they didn’t have a relationship? They dated, so I ceratainly hope they had a relationship! What I said was, their situation isn’t so special…they seem to have taken the same typical course as many Hollywood relationships, but it’s done now. They had a relationship….and now they’re not.
I agree with comment #74 on Josh Lucas. The guy’s got acting talent but he needs to make better choices in his role selection (Sweet Home Alabama!!! styled romance movies shows him off best!) would be nice. I’ve read elsewhere that he is a womanizer, but then again, with those eyes, what woman wouldn’t fall. However, if he would be picky about his women, he might have better success in that as well. I’m not saying Rachel is icky, it’s just, well, he probably needs to go through a few more wrong ones before he finds the right one! And hey, he’s not old, but he has mentioned about settling down and having a family. Rachel doesn’t look like she’s ready for that yet. But, then again, anything goes in NYC and Hollywood. What do I know? I’m from Pigeon Creek, Alabama!!! (giggles) Would it help if Josh and I had a talk in the pet cemetary about all of this??? Oh well…
Rachel dates…so does that make her a “manizer?” Why are men who date called womanizers?
sometimes i wonder if jude is too busy to have a romantic relationship with anyone at the moment.His life is full.His children are his life i guess and Sadie is an extension of the children.he seems happy enough.sometimes i do think he is a player but its ok bcos he is not commited to anyone.if i could be cupid..i wouldnt know what to do about jude.really dont.
