Personal life
From 2002 to 2007, Reynolds had been 'romantically' linked to singer, and fellow Canadian, Alanis Morissette, becoming engaged in 2004.[2] Her song "Everything," is said to be about him. Reynolds says his attraction to Morissette is her laid back attitude, giving the example that she—unlike women he has dated before—does not require two hours to get ready to grab a 'coffee'. The couple live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and own a penthouse suite in Los Angeles, California, USA. The first mention of a split came in a 7 June 2006 article in People[3][4], but in interviews in October 2006, Morissette said that she has been with Ryan for four years, with no mention of a split.[5][6]. On 3 February, 2007, the couple's publicists reported that they had ended their engagement and "They remain close friends and continue to have the utmost love and admiration for each other. They ask that their privacy be respected surrounding this personal matter."
Prior to his relationship with Morissette, Reynolds had dated singer Michelle Morris, and actresses
Kristen Johnston and
Rachael Leigh Cook.
Reynolds is a Green Bay Packers fan and loves motorcycles, owning two; a customised 2005 Harley-Davidson Springer Softail, and 2005 Confederate Hellcat.[7]
