They were also seen getting very close to eachother at the afterparty for the New York premiere of Gosling's new movie, Blue Valentine.
He refuses to be drawn into the dating gossip and has instead praised Blake for her onscreen talents.
He tells People.com, "She's an incredible actress; she's a good friend."
Lively split from her boyfriend and Gossip Girl co-star in September after three years together.
