Eva Mendes appears to be subtly suggesting that she and The Notebook star Ryan Gosling may tie the knot. In an interview with Today Australia on Thursday, November 17, the Hitch actress referred to Gosling as her “wife” when asked about her time in Australia. She supported the Ronald McDonald House charity on the broadcast.
Mendes, 48, said she felt accepted in Australia and enjoyed spending time with her two children and “husband” Ryan.
She also stated:
“I’m having an immense amount of fun here. Everyone has been incredibly kind and welcoming. My husband, Ryan, has arrived… And now that our children have arrived, we are living our best lives.”
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes have been dating for almost ten years.
Mendes and Gosling, both 42, have never publicly acknowledged their long-term relationship, even though the status of their relationship has been questioned for years and allegations persist.
Finally, on November 17, the Ghost Rider actress acknowledged her marriage to the actor from The Gray Man, with whom she shares two daughters, Esmeralda, 8, and Amada, 6.
Before they started courting, they were close friends. While filming The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011, dating rumors began to circulate and have persisted ever since. In September 2011, the couple was first spotted kissing at Disneyland, confirming the rumors.
Eva Mendes reportedly spent the summer of 2012 with Ryan Gosling and his mother Donna, who was a big fan of Mendes. During the visit, sources indicated that Donna wanted Ryan to marry Eva and that the rest of the family was supportive of their relationship.
Mendes gave birth to the couple’s first child, Esmeralda, in September 2014, despite not wanting to have a baby until she met her ideal partner. She told Women’s Health magazine that she changed her mind after meeting Gosling.
As the actor put it:
“So it made sense for me to have… not my own children, but his. It was very important to him.”
Amada Lee, their second daughter, was born in May 2016, two years later. Eva Mendes has stated for years that neither she nor her spouse find the concept of marriage attractive.
She added that while she supports other people getting married, she herself considers marriage archaic and outdated. Despite concerns that Gosling was a poor father, the couple remained low-key about their relationship.
Internet users have accused Ryan Gosling of being a poor father because he is not active on social media and has never been seen on Eva Mendes’ social media platforms.
Eva Mendes dispelled the rumors by saying she preferred to keep her relationship and “all the beautiful things Ryan does as a father” private.
She stated:
“I think it’s better for me to continue talking about what I feel comfortable with without involving him or my children too much.” It’s not about being weird or reserved; it’s about being private in public.
On November 15, 2022, Eva Mendes showed off her ‘Gosling’ tattoo on her wrist in an Instagram photo.
The tattoo, which has Cuban roots, may be a reference to a Cuban tradition in which women add their husband’s name to their maiden name by inserting the preposition ‘de,’ meaning ‘of.’
Fans believed the couple had been married for a long time after Eva Mendes revealed she had gotten the tattoo a long time ago, but only revealed it now because she was a “mysterious” woman.
