Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling's Private Romance
Known for their low-profile, high-profile romance, Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have kept their relationship and family life largely out of the media's reach. The two actors first met on the set of the film The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011, and have since stood their ground as one of Hollywood's most discreet romantic stories. While their affection for each other is prominent in their occasional heartwarming interview moments, they keep their public appearances selective and intimate family moments private.
An Unusual Request: “Take Care of George”
Events that transpired in 2014 brought an interesting twist to their story. Mendes reportedly asked her ex-boyfriend George Augusto, whom she remained on good terms with even after their relationship ended in 2011, to care for a ‘furry friend.' Despite their split, Augusto managed some of Mendes's business affairs, leading him to agree. The shocker came once he learned that the dog he had agreed to care for belonged to none other than the famous Notebook actor, Gosling. To add a comical twist to the story, the dog's name was also George.
The Radar Online report suggests that Augusto felt humiliated when he found out the dog's ownership and its name. The realization came after receiving a list of dog care instructions, handed over by one of Gosling's assistants. It became an awkward situation for Augusto, but due to the professional commitments, he held back his disappointment. Even so, he confronted Mendes about the issue and clarified he wouldn't be responsible for ‘the other George' in the future.
Life Beyond the Limelight
On the career front, while Gosling continues to be an active part of Hollywood, Mendes decided to redirect her focus from the glittery world of films to the charming universe of motherhood. She lent her voice to the popular children's show Bluey and plans to release a children's book this September. Mendes reflected on her decision to pull back from her career, stating that she wanted to witness every formative moment of her children's life. She added that while careers come and go, her kids' childhood is fleeting and precious.
She and Gosling are known for their mutual steadfast approach to parenthood. They prioritize their daughters, Esmerelda and Amada, raising them with close attention and a hands-on method. It's evident that they consider their family is their first priority. In doing so, they continue to maintain a successful, loving, and most importantly, an admirable relationship, creating a pure ‘behind-the-scenes' impression in the high-profile Hollywood landscape.
