New father Ryan Gosling has reportedly been granted a restraining order against an obsessed fan who has allegedly been sending him emails and following him around.

Grace Marie Del Villar has allegedly been tracking the Drive star for the three months because she believes she is his "twin", according to Tmz.com.

In legal documents obtained by the gossip site, Gosling states that she has been sending harassing emails and packages, one of which included a torn-out page from a magazine featuring his girlfriend Eva Mendes stapled with a note containing Del Villar's contact information.

The documents also accuse Del Villar of inundating Gosling's sister Mandi with voicemail messages.

Gosling finally decided to take action on 28 October (14) when the fan allegedly travelled from New York City to Gosling's Los Angeles home, and showed up at the front gate claiming she is "Ryan's twin", and left a doll catalogue at the door.

The restraining order states that Del Villar must stay away from Gosling, Mendes, their three-month-old daughter Esmeralda, and the actor's sister Mandi.
