Eva Mendez on the partnership with Ryan Gosling: "I did not expect to be stuck at home at the age of 50"

Eva Mendez loves being in a relationship. The actress didn't think she would be a housewife at the age of 50, but after meeting her husband, Ryan Gosling , her life changed completely. In an interview with the outlet, she says that "a certain person came into my life and made me change my mind about everything related to a relationship," she explained.

Mendez also said that her career stopped since she gave birth to her and Gosling's daughters, 9-year-old Esmeralda and 7-year-old Amada . The actress says that bringing them was "the easiest decision I made". She also said in the interview that she "wants to be there for all their formative years."

The topic of raising the children came up after she told viewers of the "Today" show that there was an "unwritten agreement" between her and Gosling that she would take a step back from her acting career so that she could raise the children. However, the actor stars in quite a few movies, including "Barbie" and "Kapil" since he became a father.

Mendez says that the decision was like "OK, he's going to work and I'm going to work, only I'm going to work here." I'm lucky." She also says that "the choice was not obvious, I was still working. I just didn't play. Playing takes you to other places, it takes you away from everything.'

As you remember, Mendez and Gosling met and fell in love on the set of "The Place Beyond the Pines" in 2011. Although the two gave birth to two daughters, they never addressed rumors related to engagement or marriage, except that Mendez referred to Gosling as her husband in 2022. The couple keep mushrooms in their love life.
