Eva Mendes frequently provides her followers with updates on her professional endeavors on social media. However, the actress is known for keeping her personal life private. She shares two daughters, Esmeralda Amada, aged eight, and Amada Lee, aged six, with her longtime partner Ryan Gosling. While the couple has never confirmed their marital status, Mendes has referred to Gosling as her husband on occasion. The two have been together since 2011.
The celebrity sometimes offers a peek into her life as a mom on her social media accounts as well. Her posts have included honest and unfiltered snapshots of raising two daughters, as well as sharing clothes and makeup tips, and discussing the importance of having meaningful conversations with her children to build stronger relationships.
Previously, in an interview with People, Eva Mendes admitted that she wasn’t interested in becoming a mother until she met her partner, Ryan Gosling, whom she has been in a relationship with since 2011. “I never had the ambition of becoming a mother until I fell in love with Ryan,” she said. “And it turned out that I was 40 years old when I had my first child.”
Speaking to People, Eva shared that she was 42 when she had her second child, allowing her to have a successful career before shifting her focus to her family. While she is content with her family life, she has also opened up about her upbringing and how her mother had to work hard as a single parent.
“I cannot believe that by the time my mother was 24, she had three kids under the age of four,” she told Violet Grey in 2014. “She was in Cuba and totally alone. So when it’s the wee hours of the night and I’m feeling a bit insane, I think about her and realize that I have no right to complain about anything.”
