Eva Mendes Expresses Gratitude for Keeping Her and Ryan Gosling’s Kids Private During Olympics
Eva Mendes is giving the 2024 Olympics a perfect 10.
The Hitch star and her longtime love Ryan Gosling were seen cheering on the athletes at the women’s gymnastics uneven bars final in Paris Aug. 4. And while they were joined by daughters Esmeralda, 9, and Amada, 8, Eva is very grateful her girls weren’t part of the spotlight.
“I love @nbcolympics didn’t cut away to the kids !,” Eva wrote in an Instagram comment to a fan Aug. 6. “And most sites blurred their faces so mama bear is happy about that. Anyway it felt so good to be there and feel unified with people.”
She also replied to another commenter, adding, “they were great about not posing the kids so l’m a grateful mama bear.”
Eva, 50, and Ryan, 43, have kept both their relationship and their family life largely out of the public eye since they met on the set of 2012’s The Place Beyond the Pines. And it was during the making of that film that Ryan realized just how hard he’d fallen for Eva.
