The two starred together in the 2009 film ‘The Proposal’ and since then Reynolds has publicly referred to White as his ‘ex-girlfriend’.
The iconic actress responded in an interview with
People, saying, “I’ve heard Ryan can’t fix his thing for me, but Robert Redford is The One.”
Reynolds tweeted at her comment, joking, “I’m tired of the media abusing past relationships just to generate clicks.”
The former Golden Girl turns 100 on January 17. Fans can celebrate with her in a special movie event called “Betty White: 100 Years Young — A Birthday Celebration”.
The film follows White behind the scenes on sets, as she interacts with her office workers, entertains at home and includes her actual birthday party.
Reynolds appears in the film, along with Tina Fey, Robert Redford, Lin Manuel-Miranda, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Jay Leno, Carol Burnett and Craig Ferguson.
