Despite their magnetic connection, Ryan and Rachel’s relationship struggled with what every celebrity couple does, the overwhelming fame and demanding schedules. Their intense love story seemed to fizzle out around 2007, leaving fans heartbroken along with them. There were many speculations around the cause of this split but Ryan ended them by giving their side of the story.

It takes all of the light, so nothing else can grow.”
