Eva Mendes has offered a glimpse into her private life with Ryan Gosling, shedding light on their unique parenting approach.

Mendes described this arrangement as a “non-verbal agreement,” emphasizing that while Gosling continued to excel in his acting career, she shifted her focus to home, stating, “It was almost just like a non-verbal agreement that it was like, ‘Ok, he’s going to work and I’m going to work, I’m just going to work here.’”
Mendes, who has taken a step back from acting to focus on her family and her clothing line with NY&Co., considers herself “so lucky” to have this arrangement.
“I still worked, I just didn’t act because acting takes you on locations, it takes you away,” she shared, highlighting the sacrifices made for family.
The couple reportedly met as co-stars on the set of “The Place Beyond the Pines” in 2012 and have hinted at tying the knot in 2022.

Despite keeping their decade-long relationship private, Mendes has publicly praised Gosling for his Oscar-nominated role as Ken in “Barbie,” expressing her pride on Instagram and calling herself “this Ken’s Barbie.”
Following Gosling’s memorable “Kenergy” performance at the Oscars, Eva Mendes humorously urged him on Instagram to return home for parental duties, stating, “You took Ken all the way to the Oscars, RG. Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed.”
Mendes, whose last film appearance was in the 2014 Gosling-directed “Lost River,” has expressed on Instagram her choice to focus on family over acting, thanks to her successful business ventures allowing her that flexibility.
