RELATED: Eva Mendes And Ryan Gosling Made A Rare Public Appearance
“Not only are we in the industry, but the whole fame component is super scary when you try to raise your kids,” she explained on the couple's decision to remain private. “What I try to emphasise is that I don’t let [my daughters] see me put attention to how I dress. They’ve never seen me get ready for something; they’ve never seen me at work. Which is fine, for whoever wants to do it that way, but the way I keep it normal is by not letting them see me in these situations. I’m just Mum. And I’m more than happy to just be Mum.”
Gosling once gushed about Mendes's efforts at home accepting his Golden Globe for Best Actor in 2017. He thanked his “lady” and continued on to dedicate the award to Juan Carlos Mendes, Eva’s late brother, who lost his battle to cancer just days before Mendes gave birth to Amada. “It was like a dream,” Mendes says of the speech. “But really, what I heard was that he said my brother’s name. It was the most beautiful gesture, and I had no idea Ryan was going to say it.”
