0 21 September 2018, 17:28Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling with their daughters
IN Lately The 44-year-old, who usually avoids the attention of the press, is increasingly being captured by photographers. Last week she was at the New York & Company show, where she has been designing collections for five years, and was recently spotted by paparazzi while walking with her daughters, four-year-old Esmeralda and two-year-old Amada, at a playground in Los Angeles.
The 37-year-old head of the family, Ryan Gosling, also found a place in his busy work schedule and had fun with his children and wife. The star couple did not pay attention to the photographers and looked very happy.
For an autumn walk, Eva chose a comfortable and bright outfit: the star was dressed in a black and white checkered shirt tied in a knot and a long skirt with a floral print. Slippers with a satin bow, sunglasses and a headband perfectly complemented her casual look.
Ryan stepped out for a walk with his family in a black printed T-shirt and matching trousers. His brutal look was completed with aviator sunglasses.
Let us remind you that in one of the recent interviews, Eva Mendes is enjoying motherhood and is not yet ready to sacrifice family happiness for the sake of a career. According to the actress, she does not want to think about returning to cinema until her children grow up.
I'm just obsessed with my children and don't want to leave them. They are still very small
- Eva told reporters.
She also admitted that her husband supports her in everything and serves as a real support for her.

On the birthday of Hollywood handsome Ryan Gosling, we remember his touching love story with Eva Mendes. Who can tell you about it better than the birthday boy himself?
Gosling's reputation in Hollywood was clear: a playmaker and a good actor. They said about Mendes that she is an ardent opponent of marriage as such. However, they have been together for seven years, married, raising two daughters and they are happy. Let's figure out how this happened.
Love affair at work
The 2012 film “The Place Beyond the Pines” was remembered by the viewer for its tense plot, great game Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling and the latter's heated romance with Eva Mendes. I must admit, relationships on the set have become Gosling's specialty.
While working on the detective story Countdown, he turned Sandra Bullock's head. After the film “The Notebook,” he found himself among the main sex symbols of Hollywood and in the arms of Rachel McAdams. Their movie kiss was included in the TOPs of “best” and “classic”, and the actors themselves were happy to repeat it in public. And if the romance with Bullock ended rather quickly, they were together with McAdams for three years.
"I had two greatest women modernity. I haven't met anyone better. But when both a man and a woman are busy in show business, work takes up all the free time. It is difficult to build on such soil serious relationship», - Gosling recalls.
For “The Place Beyond the Pines,” the actor worked long and hard to get Mendes to play the role of Romina. She began her career in cinema by participating in the absolutely disastrous horror film Children of the Corn 5, but over time she was able to earn a reputation as an actress who ideally embodies the images of strong women. Eva should have easily fit into the ensemble cast. Neither journalists nor fans of both stars were worried about a potential romance.
Perhaps Ryan insisted on the invitation, having far-reaching plans? He himself once said that “ The best way get to know a person - work with him or go on a long journey with him".
Very soon, sensational news broke: Gosling and Mendes had a date at Disneyland. They behaved like a textbook couple: they bought cotton candy, visited attractions and often hugged. They were distinguished from ordinary lovers only by caps and large glasses, behind which they unsuccessfully tried to hide their identities.
Contrary to rumors
Curious journalists around Hollywood did not immediately believe in the reality of the relationship. Perhaps Eva Mendes herself is indirectly to blame for this. Before that, she became famous as a principled opponent of marriage, who dismissed her boyfriend as soon as he started talking about marriage. " I don't believe in marriage. Why get married just to have children? This is all imposed by society“, she reasoned.
Rumors began to appear about scenes of jealousy that Gosling had to endure; some eyewitnesses said that the couple had been quarreling. There was even a reason given for why the romance was supposedly breaking down: Mendes loves a glamorous life, and the actor is a homebody and generally a rather reserved type.
The lovers, it seemed, did not pay attention to the wave raised in the press. They went to restaurants and were seen holding hands while walking around Los Angeles and on a tour of the Grand Canyon. During the presentation of the bachelor's degree to Gosling's mother Donna, neighbors in the last row were surprised to recognize the couple who was clapping loudly as Ryan and Eve.
Esmeralda and temporary calm
It is unknown whether this immersion in each other was a deliberate strategy, or whether they were simply too deeply in love to notice anything else, but the couple disappeared from the tabloid headlines. At the end of 2013 they were “divorced” and somehow calmed down. For six months, the only appearance in the media was a photograph of Ryan near the fence of the Mendez house.
And then came the news, which literally destroyed all the newspapermen’s speculations. From anonymous sources it became known that the actress is pregnant. Moreover, it is already the seventh month and the firstborn is due to appear very soon. The paparazzi began to follow the couple and, no matter how Eva hid, a rather long period of time turned out to be obvious.
In September 2014, the couple had a girl, Esmeralda. Contrary to the opinions of skeptics, it turned out that Gosling did not get a fan of glamor and social events, but an almost ideal mother. She even explained her secrecy by caring for her daughter: “ Whether we like it or not, maintaining Esmeralda's privacy will be very difficult. So Ryan and I decided to give her as much privacy as possible, at least as a child. And my pregnancy was the first opportunity to do this».
Amada Lee and Mendelssohn March
Further – more. Having decided to retrain as a director, Ryan immediately offered the role to Eve. The film “How to Catch a Monster” turned out to be controversial. Mixed reviews from critics, lack of wide release, not very high audience ratings, but the debut work was accepted at the Cannes Film Festival, and it even received two nominations.
Mendes herself, as if remembering the “well-wishers” who did not believe in the seriousness of her passion for Gosling, almost completely devoted herself to the newborn. She is one of the few Hollywood stars, who even refused the services of nannies. In the most extreme cases, she turned to relatives for help. During one of the interviews, Mendes admitted: “ Esmeralda is now with her mom and dad. Thank God my whole family is ten minutes away. Why waste money hiring strangers?»
Household chores and the baby occupied all of Eva’s time. She almost stopped appearing on the obligatory red carpets for celebrities. Gosling, who worked a lot during this period, took the rap at social events alone. Such dedication of Mendes unexpectedly led to rumors of a breakup again spreading in the media, which especially intensified during the filming of the musical La La Land.
In vain Gosling told reporters: “I'm not looking for anyone else. I know that I am next to the person I should be with”; “I hope to spend the holidays with my family. This will be our first Christmas in which Esmeralda will also consciously take part. This is exciting". Alas, his appearance in public without his wife could most easily be explained by the disagreements that arose.
November 12 to one of the most desirable Hollywood handsome men - the actor Ryan Gosling turned 36 years old. Despite the fact that his name has already become common name for a dream guy and millions of girls around the world dream of a boyfriend similar to him, famous actor has long been faithful to only one woman - an actress Eva Mendes, seven years older than him.
“...Today I remembered how, when I was 14 years old, I went with my peers to the river. I didn’t know how to swim then, but the children boldly jumped into the water from the cliff. I stood in indecision. And then I asked one of the guys to push me down... So now I want someone to push me away from Ryan - to pull me out of this painfully sweet relationship. I myself cannot part with him. And I can’t be around you anymore...”
Eve did not have time to finish her thought when her daughter’s persistent crying was heard. She quickly closed the diary and looked at mobile phone, it was two o'clock in the morning, and I went to the nursery. When Esmeralda was born, the calm, measured life of the “selfish” Eva ended, apparently, forever. She refused a nanny on principle, deciding to spend the first years with her baby. She didn't trust her with anyone - except maybe Ryan and her moms - hers and his. But in reality, it turned out that Ryan had filming, the mothers also could not sit with Esmeralda for days on end - and it turns out that round-the-clock care of their daughter fell on her shoulders. Eva gave up her career. In any case, until she can leave her daughter for at least a couple of days without her supervision. And considering what a crazy mother Eva turned out to be (to admit, she didn’t expect herself to wake up maternal instinct, and even such strength, because several years ago she quite consciously argued that she was “too selfish to become a mother”), then she will not have to return to the ranks of Hollywood stars soon. Besides, there’s still the question of what she’ll look like by then...

Eva’s biggest dream lately is to get some sleep. Just get enough sleep - without flinching every minute from worry about your daughter or from her crying... And what happens to women after 40 years when they don’t get enough sleep? Black circles under the eyes grey colour faces, dull hair, excess weight and constant nervous irritation. Eva was still far from such a state - besides, she tried, to the best of her ability, to take care of herself. After an anxious night, she got up at dawn, did cosmetic procedures for which she simply did not have time during the day (one could only dream of visiting a cosmetologist!), and thanks to this, she still managed to maintain her “marketable appearance.” But she understood that all her home procedures were like “poultices for the dead”! The most terrible thing was happening in her soul - and this affected her appearance much more than sleepless nights...
“Well, what happened, baby,” Eva took her sobbing daughter in her arms and pressed her to her, “why are you crying?” I fed you and changed your diaper five minutes ago? Well, don't cry, otherwise I too...
Eve at Comic-Con, New York, 2008 Eva barely held back tears so as not to burst into tears in unison with Esmeralda - she had plenty of reasons for this. But the most important thing is the father of her daughter and her lover Ryan Gosling. Her beloved and hated, gentle and cruel, affectionate and cold, distant and at the same time close. In the almost four years that they have been together - although the word “together” is not entirely correct, because they have come close and separated many times, quarreled forever and united again forever - they, even being as close as a man and a woman can be, all were not “together” anyway. Unexpected pregnancy Eve and the birth of Esmeralda brought them closer again, and the relationship seemed to have gained a new breath. But then Ryan went to filming - and she was alone again, only now with her daughter in her arms, and again tormented by thoughts about where he was, with whom, whether he missed her or was amusing himself in the arms of his new film partner... And again jealousy, like poison penetrated every cell of her body and poisoned her soul.
No matter how she tried to get rid of this feeling, tearing her apart, poisoning the lives of both her and Ryan, she could not cope with this “demon”. Either Eva’s hot Cuban blood made itself felt, or her insecurity, which she felt especially acutely in moments when she remembered that there was a seven-year age difference between her and Ryan. And she remembered this every time she admired her lover’s exquisitely pale face, his smooth skin and light curls... She, alas, could not boast of such freshness in her 40s. And considering how many women had been in Ryan's arms before they met, she had a lot to worry about...
Still from the film “Gangster Hunters,” 2012. In addition, Gosling had always been a “closed book” for her - an incomprehensible man who lived in his own world, which, no matter how hard she tried, she could not penetrate... And he didn’t even try to explain: Ryan wrote something, composed something songs that he performed with his band Dead Man's Bones (“Dead Man's Bones” - what a stupid name - Eva was indignant!), instead of going to a party, he preferred to sit at home...
Of course, they loved each other - otherwise they would not have lived together for so many years - and had a great time, thanks to which the rough edges of their relationship did not hurt both of them so painfully. But with the advent of Esmeralda, the couple had no time for tenderness or spending a weekend together... And old conflicts escalated to the limit.
– How long will you be on set? – Eva asked Ryan sternly as he packed his things to go to Atlanta.
“I don’t know,” Ryan answered dryly.
Ryan Gosling with his sister Mandy and mother Donna at the 79th Academy Awards, Los Angeles, 2007. - How you do not know? – Eva got excited. – You have a filming schedule, you know the number of filming days.
“I didn’t specify,” Gosling said, barely containing his emotions.
– What do you mean you didn’t specify?! – she seethed, ready to burst into tears at any second. – What does this mean, Ryan?! We agreed that we would take care of Esme together! And now you’re leaving me alone - you’re going to no one knows where, no one knows with whom... Who will you be filming there with? With whom?!
- Eva, stop it! – Ryan gradually switched to screaming. “You know very well that these shootings were planned before she was born.” And does one of us need to earn money? Mom will help you while I'm gone. And what should I do here - listen to your suspicions and accusations?
- Oh, that means I’m also to blame! So you're the one running away from me! – Eva wrung her hands and began to sob as only she knows how, accompanying her crying with lamentations in Spanish.
“Eva, I beg you... I have a plane in half an hour - don’t make a scene,” Ryan could not stand the sobs of his beloved. – Let’s calm down, and we’ll discuss everything this evening, but over the phone.
– You don’t have to come back! – through tears she said goodbye to Gosling.
Friends... Due to her secrecy (when she and Ryan began an affair, Eva encrypted it so carefully from the paparazzi that no one suspected anything until they showed up together and showed everyone - yes, we are in love!), Eva was It’s difficult to share intimate details with your friends...
Still from the film "The Avenger", 2008. And then Eva remembered the good old diary - only to him can she entrust her thoughts and experiences, only here can she pour out her soul and “cry out.” Once, as a teenager, she kept a diary. Then she was also tormented by fears and doubts... Although for a different reason... And when she “spoke out” to the diary, she felt relief and even some kind of peace... but then she abandoned it and forgot... But now only the diary can become an outlet for her and an opportunity to speak out...
Eva, lost in her thoughts, did not notice how Esmeralda calmed down and fell asleep in her arms. She carefully placed her daughter in the crib.
“... Why lately Ryan and I can’t talk calmly like before, but we’re constantly sorting things out? Maybe the whole point is that we are very different from him? We have too many differences - a big difference age, different origins, different views and tastes... But this difference was always there and at the beginning of the relationship did not in the least prevent us from being together and being happy...” - Eva completed the sentence in her diary and remembered her and Ryan’s first meeting.
This happened on the set of their first joint film, “The Place Beyond the Pines.” Her partners were Gosling and Bradley Cooper. Having met both of them for the first time on the set, Eva immediately drew attention to Ryan. They had to play fatal love.
Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan in the movie Drive, 2011 Gosling got the role in one of the film's short stories - motorcycle stuntman Luke Glanton, who makes a living performing in provincial towns. After one of his performances, he meets his ex-girlfriend Ramina - she was played by Eva. Ryan's character learns that Ramina has a little son, whose father is... himself. After this news, the guy gives up his stunt stuff and gets a job with mechanic Robin. Very soon Luke realizes that the money he earns by honest work is not enough for his newly-made family. And then he decides to rob banks. At first, everything goes well - Luke “earns” decent money, Ramina and their son do not need anything... But one day luck turns away from the robber - the police are following him, and one of them - Avery Cross (Bradley Cooper played him) pursues him, until it “drives” into a dead end. Luke takes a woman and child hostage, but Avery kills him. Before his death, the criminal calls Ramina and begs her never to tell their son about him...
On the set, Eva looked closely at both Gosling and Cooper, but Bradley, who was almost the same age, seemed boring and banal to her - unattractive to her. But Ryan looked like a strange bird - with his long nose, specially painted for the role White color hair sticking out in different directions, angular plasticity and daring behavior.
Even then they called Ryan rising star and the hope of Hollywood. On this occasion, he allowed himself to get into arguments with the director and look down on his colleagues.
But, as they say, he immediately had his eye on Eve. He looked at her defiantly, but she was not at all embarrassed, smiling back at him. While playing his scene, Gosling, first of all, caught the reaction not of the director, but of her - Eve. And she always looked at him with admiration. In the same way, he sought Mendez’s approval for his, admittedly, not always witty jokes - and she laughed louder than anyone.
In general, there were all the signs of his interest in Eva. And one day Ryan turned to her.
Ryan Gosling and Sandra Bullock in Kill Countdown, 2002 - Hi, how are you? – Gosling said the usual phrase, blushing, and this after they had been “steaming” on the set all day. But Eve showed that she was extremely interested, and Ryan, in response to her “okay,” awkwardly continued: “How about we sit at a bar nearby?”
Within half an hour they were chatting animatedly, sitting at the bar, and Eva, along with Ryan, was drinking rum (Cuban roots, after all!), and watched as he turned from an arrogant and impudent “star” into ordinary guy- a little shy, but at the same time very interesting, bright, independent, smart and subtle...
“You’re not what you seem at first glance,” Ryan said when they had already drunk enough and talked for at least two hours.
- Seriously? – Eva looked coquettishly into her blue eyes, like the sky on a sunny day. -What did I seem like to you?
“Well, such a... glamorous bitch with an empty head,” he said, smiling.
- And why do you think that I’m not like that? – she asked and “accidentally” touched Ryan’s palm, which he placed on the bar counter.
“A glamorous bitch won’t sit in a pub for a second hour and drink tequila with a moron like me,” he said, still smiling.
“Don’t be modest,” Eve ran the tip of her little finger over Ryan’s palm, and he seemed to like it, “judging by the news in gossip column, girls who want to drink with you are a dime a dozen.
“But I don’t invite everyone...” Gosling answered and covered Eve’s slender fingers with his palm.
Ryan Gosling after Jimmy Kimmel live", 2011 “Yes, you have a lot of conceit, boy,” Eve thought to herself. “So be it, I’ll let you stroke your own ego.” And she said out loud:
- Now I understand why you attract women so much...
And she moved so close to Ryan that only a complete idiot could not respond to her behavior with a kiss.
“...I will never forget this feeling - complete happiness, freedom and tenderness,” Eva wrote in her diary. – You and I are racing on a motorcycle – the wind is blowing my hair and blowing the warm evening air on my face. I hug you tightly, sitting behind the wheel, and press my cheek to the back of your head, inhaling your unique smell- a mix of the aroma of tobacco and perfume with notes of lavender and sea breeze, and I experience such a painful feeling that I have never experienced with any man before..."
Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams at the 2011 Critics' Choice Awards. Although Eve experienced in her life and great love, and minor affairs, but with a very famous guys. However, she always hid her personal life most carefully... In interviews, when the conversation turned to her men, she skillfully made do with half-hints, excuses and jokes, without naming any names. Why such secrecy? After all, her colleagues were ready to flaunt their underwear for a moment of fame. And the acting profession itself involves publicity. But Eva was ready to sacrifice popularity for the sake of her own comfort and... children's complexes.
- Eva, when will you be home? - an unforgettable phrase from childhood that she heard every day from the lips of her mother.
Her mother controlled her constantly and in everything. If the daughter intended to go to visit a friend, her mother would call her parents back to make sure that the girls would not be left at home alone. At times, Eva felt like she was in prison. And this invisible, but strong connection with the mother remains to this day - the mother lives not far from the now adult Eva... and continues to control. That is why Eva tries to hide her intimate secrets from everyone - she must have an island of personal freedom, something hidden that no one else can encroach on...
Eva Mendes at the 66th Venice Film Festival with the premiere of the film “Baaria”, Venice, 2009. In her youth, the submissive girl decided to rebel against parental control - she left her studies at California State University, where she intended to become an interior designer, and took up modeling. Mom had a hard time with her daughter’s demarche, because the decision to enroll her in university was made on the advice of their large Cuban family (albeit far from ideal, because Eva’s parents separated when she was ten years old). And suddenly, having accidentally met my daughter on the street modeling agent, who admired her beauty and grace and suggested that she try herself as a model, decided to radically change her life. It was a rebellion against total parental care.
And Eva staged this rebellion not in vain - her careers, first as a model and then as an actress, developed in the best possible way. She appeared on the covers of fashion magazines, then directors noticed the pretty girl - and now she is already starring in videos for Aerosmith and Will Smith. But Eva is offered a role in a movie. Let it be in the passage “Children of the Corn – 5: Fields of Terror.” But this is just the beginning!
And, by the way, she fulfilled her parental behest: Eva, already being famous actress, received a diploma of higher education and in her free time from filming is engaged in design - producing designer bed linen and tableware, just as her mother wanted.
She also didn’t tell her mother about the appearance of men in her life... right away. And my mother generally learned about many of her affairs with colleagues on the set, such as Nicolas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix, Matt Damon, Jason Sudeikis, Will Smith, from rumors in the media.
Still from the film “Drunk Christmas Story,” 2011. But her mother, of course, was aware of her nine-year relationship with Peruvian director Giorgio Augusto. True, this romance ended in a break - Giorgio wanted to legitimize their relationship, wanted children and to be with Mendez “until death do us part.” But Eva, who by that time was already well over 30, said that she was not going to get married.
“I am skeptical about the institution of marriage. You can be husband and wife without paperwork. Imagine how sexy it is - you are 50 years old, and the man you love is still your fiancé! – Eva joked when asked by journalists about possible marriage. – I don’t know if I want children, but the idea of marriage sounds very boring to me. I have to be honest. This is not at all a sign of disrespect for the institution of marriage, because the marriage union is beautiful. “I’m very romantic, but there’s a little rebel inside me who’s against any kind of commitment.”
In the end, this relationship with Augusto came to naught... And the final point was put by Eve’s meeting with Ryan.
Eva Mendes at the Rome Film Festival, 2010 “...Sometimes it seems to me that Ryan and I are going in circles: at first there is a heavenly idyll in our relationship, then there comes a period of, as I call it, “sobering up” - we begin to notice each other’s shortcomings and, like little children, we get offended and do not forgive the slightest flaw, then we begin to irritate each other and when this feeling reaches the boiling point, we decide to break up... And after a while, we realize that we miss each other. And a new circle of relationships begins... How many such circles have we gone through? And now I understand that it’s time for us to take a break from each other again... But will our relationship return to normal again? With the advent of Esmeralda, we ourselves changed - and whether we like it or not, we turned from capricious and touchy adult children into responsible parents...” - Eva completed this phrase and thought that this diary, concealing her most intimate experiences, she would really like read by Ryan. Moreover, she began writing in the secret hope that he would read it and understand what was really going on in her soul...
...Eve was true to her pathological secrecy and did everything possible to keep her relationship with Ryan shrouded in secrecy.
But sooner or later I had to come out of the shadows. For the first time they were “spotted” together by paparazzi at Disneyland, despite the fact that the couple put on sunglasses and caps for “disguise.” They, like teenagers who had escaped from parental care, went on rides, shot at a shooting range, ate ice cream and cotton candy, laughed heartily, hugged touchingly and kissed tenderly.
Will Ferrell, Eva Mendes and Matt Damon at the premiere of Cops in the Deep, New York, 2010. Of course, the next day their photos graced the front pages of the tabloids. And, naturally, the journalists brought out all the “dirty laundry.” Since there are few facts about Eva’s personal life, Ryan’s ins and outs were heatedly discussed on the pages of publications. He, unlike his girlfriend, never hid his hobbies from the public.
Having learned about the affair between Gosling and Mendes, the tabloids recalled his relationship with actress Sandra Bullock, who was 16 years older than him. The relationship was short-lived, and after it Ryan began an affair with Rachel McAdams, who was two years older than him - he called her “the most great love own life". They lived together for three years, then separated, only to rush into each other’s arms again a year later. But this time the love fuse only lasted for a couple of months.
After breaking up with Rachel, Ryan had affairs with actresses Famke Janssen (16 years older) and Jamie Murray (3 years older). But Eva was most jealous of Gosling for McAdams. When she broke up with her boyfriend Michael Sheen, Mendes was terribly upset...
“Gosling once almost married Rachel McAdams and they really had strong feelings to each other,” said the couple’s friends. “Of course, Eve is very worried that Rachel is free again.”
With Will Smith and Kevin James Worried is not the right word, Eva from time to time staged such scenes of jealousy that it almost came to separation. It must be said that she already suspected Ryan of infidelity, which probably had no basis. To be honest, Eva could rummage through her beloved’s phone, and if she found frivolous messages from an unknown lady, Gosling would be in trouble.
But he didn’t keep silent either - he’s not some kind of henpecked guy! In response to Eve's accusations, Ryan ignited like a match, and an innocent quarrel could end in an epic scandal with screams and tears... Then - after the storm - calm came...
During one of these blissful periods in his relationship with Mendes, Gosling decided to introduce her to his mother. And this important event coincided with an equally important event in the life of Ryan’s parent, Donna Gosling - she was to receive a bachelor’s degree, becoming a teacher.
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling on a walk in France, 2011 None of those present at the graduation ceremony could have imagined that two stars would appear in the hall at once - Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling. And no matter how they hid in the back row, all attention was aimed at them. But Donna was not offended, especially when she went on stage to present her diploma, and at that time Ryan and Eva applauded the loudest in her honor from the audience...
…As a child, Ryan had the nickname Trouble. Oh, and Mom Donna, then still an ordinary lonely secretary, suffered with him; she divorced her husband when her son was still very young.
At school, Ryan was a brawler and a bully and constantly got into trouble. But they couldn’t compare to what Gosling did in class after watching the action movie “Rambo: First Blood.” He couldn’t think of anything better than to bring all the knives that were in the house to school and began throwing them at his classmates, imagining himself to be a real Rambo. This story ended sadly: school security guards noticed the hooligan in time. The scandal was loud... After long proceedings, Ryan was expelled from this school in disgrace. For a long time he went to a psychologist who “set” his mind.
Eva Mendes and Will Smith, 2005 It was he who advised Donna to come up with some activity for her son in order to direct his unbridled energy in the right direction. And then my mother decided to take handsome Ryan to all sorts of auditions on television. So he got into good company. Young Gosling participated in the children's television show "The Mickey Mouse Club" along with his peers - Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.
– Can you imagine, you could see Mickey Mouse there, who, having taken off his false head, drank coffee during a break? – Ryan shared his childhood memories with Eve. – Pirates called on the phone, ghosts stood in line for food in the canteen... Then I realized: it was decided, I would work as an artist all my life...
At the age of 24, he became a star by starring in the film “The Notebook”...
Poster for the film “Gangster Hunters”, 2012. “...Do you know what I most want to forget in my life? Hide from everyone, delete forever... This is several months in 2008, when I was treated at the Cirque Lodge clinic for addiction to psychotropic drugs... But the journalists got to the bottom of it - I had to explain. With these pills I drowned out the emptiness that was inside, my fears, my grievances and worries. Then there was so much pressure - I worked without a break, and there was no one next to me who could calm me down, protect me, understand me. But, fortunately, everything is behind us. But I'm still afraid that I'll return to that state. Next to you I forget about the past. But as soon as we quarrel, that cold black wave covers me. That’s why I’m so jealous of you and afraid to leave for a long time - only when you’re next to me, I breathe deeply and feel the happiest,” Eva thought for a minute and slammed the diary.
...When she found out that she was pregnant, she... was confused. On the one hand, she told reporters at every corner how independent she was, free from conventions, modern woman. And she doesn’t need to get married, and she doesn’t want to have children... On the other hand, it was during that period that she and Ryan put their relationship on pause. And then she says: “Darling, we’re having a baby”...
Which child?! Ryan and I are essentially teenagers who only care about themselves. What if he gets scared?
Eva spent several hours thinking and came to an indisputable conclusion: no matter how Ryan behaved in this situation, she will give birth to a child, no matter what!
But despite her doubts, Gosling, upon learning the news, was simply happy... They didn’t even remember their past disagreements. Ryan suddenly decided to “put down roots” and grow family nest. And if not for him, Eve would have had a hard time. She tried to leave the house as little as possible - so that the paparazzi, God forbid, would not see her interesting position. And Ryan ran around shopping, arranging the home, took tender care of Eva and tried to make her life as comfortable as possible... The couple completely forgot about the quarrels: and although Eva continued to be “mischievous,” Ryan meekly endured all her whims.
It was as if they were reliving that heavenly period that they had at the beginning of their relationship. Of course, they didn’t ride a motorcycle, but just like then, they hugged each other, watched stupid programs on TV, walked in the park and ate cotton candy, watched old comedies and laughed until they colicked...
Scarlett Johansson, Eva Mendes and Cameron Diaz at the Guys' Choice Awards, 2011. And then the beautiful Esmeralda Amada appeared, whom she and Ryan named after the heroine of the beloved Disney cartoon “The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” Eva affectionately called her preciosa, which means “precious” in Spanish. And their idyll with Ryan ended again...
...Eva was still sleeping when Ryan gently woke her up with a kiss on the cheek. In his arms he held little Esme, who did not whine or be capricious, but smiled cheerfully.
“Wake up, sleepyhead,” he said affectionately (for the first time in several weeks), “I prepared breakfast.”
Eve quickly stood up, not quite understanding what was happening.
“Did Esme sleep soundly today?” I didn't even wake up...
“I arrived late from filming, so I didn’t wake you up.” “I approached her myself,” Ryan replied. - Well, let's go have breakfast.
“Ryan, listen,” Eve turned to Gosling, happily devouring breakfast (oh, happiness!), which she did not prepare herself. “You know, I get nervous when I don’t understand what’s going on.” So - I don’t understand!
Ryan hesitated...
“Just promise me you won’t get angry?” - he asked.
Eva Mendes and Nicolas Cage in the film Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, 2009. “You’re scaring me,” Eva became wary and added after a pause. - Okay, I promise.
“You see, I accidentally found your diary...” hearing these words, Eva raised her eyebrow reproachfully, but remained silent. – And I thought: you read my messages, rummaged through my phone... So why don’t I take a peek at your diary. I started reading and realized that most of the entries in it were dedicated... to me. I read and understood what was happening to you... to us... And I thought: let's try to start all over again - again. You do not mind?
Ryan looked questioningly at Eve, and she, meanwhile, was thinking about how best to get out of the situation so that Ryan would not guess that she herself had left the diary in a visible place for him to read...
“I don’t mind,” she smiled. - But with one condition. I'll still check your phone!

“Modest and very personal,” according to sources, the ceremony took place back in June: given the closeness star couple It's not that surprising. The initiator of such a non-public formalization of the relationship was Mendes. “Eve herself proposed to Ryan, which shocked him - into in a good way words, says the insider. “After so many years of principled refusals to marriage proposals on his part, she suddenly decided to change everything and simply dumbfounded Ryan.”
The wedding took place in the backyard of their house. The invitees - family and friends, thirty people in total - did not know what they would witness, since they were officially invited simply to a party.
The actress was prompted to change her position on the issue of marriage by the recent birth of her daughter Amada Lee, as well as the death of her brother Juan Carlos, with whom Eva was very close. “These events reminded her how short life is and how easy it is to make Ryan happy by giving him what he wants,” the insider says, adding that Mendes realized that she “may have been too stubborn before.”
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes' romance began five years ago on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines. Their communication was always accompanied by a stormy showdown - Ryan and Eva quarreled in public and even, according to eyewitnesses, fought. The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Esmeralda, in 2014, followed by their second daughter, Amada Lee, at the end of April this year.
Just yesterday, the paparazzi caught a completely different Gosling in their lenses - sitting with a friend over a glass of beer somewhere on the outskirts of Death Valley or with green face after a stormy night walking old dog George at dawn. The press constantly discussed “funny stories” about the adventures of a popular actor: he got into a fight here, made a scene there, crashed into a trash can on his motorcycle, or disrupted filming by showing up to the set with a severe hangover. This kind of Gosling the bully was familiar to everyone.
But since his girlfriend Eva Mendes became pregnant, the world has discovered a new Ryan. Six months ago, Gosling and Eve decided to break up, admitting that their romance (which began in 2011 on the set of the drama “The Place Beyond the Pines”) could safely be considered untenable. They constantly quarreled, sorted things out, even fought. What started out so joyful turned into a real challenge. Of course, they both experienced it in their own way. After all, they loved being together so much, gnawing sunflower seeds on the sofa in front of the TV, making love in all rooms in a row, chatting until dawn. Ryan was sure it was all his fault. difficult character friends, Eva, in turn, considered Ryan to be the main instigator of the quarrels. She complained to friends: “Instead of turning a deaf ear to my remark, he deliberately aggravates everything. And he yells!” Ryan's reaction is quite understandable - the girl seriously irritated him with her jealousy. Eva rummaged through his things, checked incoming and sent SMS messages, and regularly interrogated him. “What is this “M” to which you answered “of course, I agree”? “Why did you send eight SMS to this number, who is this?” “Why did your “work colleague” send you a photo of herself in a swimsuit?” From the first days they began dating, Eva showed herself to be a completely uncontrollable person, ready to throw a tantrum for any reason. They couldn’t go anywhere - she didn’t like the fact that Ryan smiled at the waitresses, or it seemed like he was slipping pieces of paper with his phone number to the cashiers in stores. And having caught him telephone conversation With ex-girlfriend Rachel McAdams (who had a very serious relationship with Ryan at one time) began screaming at the top of her lungs: “Bastard!” Ryan tried to explain to her something like: “Well, you understand, we are still friends. She gets into a lot of trouble, especially with guys. Rachel needs advice from an experienced old friend, that's all! What's so scary about that?" But hearing this, Eve became even more irritated. And when she found out that McAdams had bought a house next door to them, she completely lost heart. Every evening, Eva walked around all the rooms and tightly pulled the curtains on the windows - she was sure that “this rubbish” was sitting on the balcony with a telescope and watching them.
One day, Ryan found his friend painting the glass on the windows - Eva carefully covered them... with black ink bought at a nearby stationery store.
Are you completely crazy? - Ryan attacked the girl. - Okay, we don’t care, but I have animals! They must not be deprived of light!
After this incident they did not speak for a week.
How many times did Ryan try to have calming conversations with Eve, but she didn’t want to hear anything. Mendes did not trust him at all and demanded that the relationship be formalized as proof of fidelity.
Ryan always refused.
“I don’t believe in paperwork, in conventions and in rules that are imposed on us,” he said about the idea of marriage in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter a few years ago, when he was with Rachel McAdams. - By the way, I learn from my dog George. We've been together for 11 years, this is my longest relationship. He can easily leave me for a couple of days to visit his neighbor Mrs. Dickinson - she pampers him with excellent steaks. And what? Is his love for me dying? No. He always comes back and we are still together."
It’s a surprising coincidence, but before meeting Ryan, Eva Mendes had similar views: “Marriage is vulgar. I think when a man or woman can say at 50 that they have a boyfriend or girlfriend, it sounds incredibly sexy. An open relationship liberates you, forces you to be on your toes all the time, tense, on edge, and feel the need to keep in shape. And so they signed the papers - and everyone settled down, calmed down, and became flabby!”
Before Gosling, the beauty of Cuban blood had many love interests - she was in the arms of Nicolas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix, Matt Damon, Will Smith and producer George Augusto (she lived with the latter for nine whole years!). Eva was the first to leave all her men when someone started to bother her or make specific claims, hinting at marriage. Ryan was the first to demand nothing from her. But she fell in love with him as much as she had ever fallen in love before.
They met at the first reading of the script for The Place Beyond the Pines. Director Derek Cienfrance introduced the actress to two main actors, handsome young guys, and even bachelors - Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling. She turned her attention to the second one - which was actually strange, because Ryan acted like he didn't want to please anyone. He smoked non-stop, spat something to the side, scratched himself and added “fuck” to every phrase. He immediately scolded the director for the disgusting hair color that he imposed on him.
“You make me look like Madonna who stepped on an exposed electrical wire,” he said and burst into stupid laughter.
He knew the lines of his role poorly, confused them all the time, cursed and suggested cutting “too long pieces.”
It was difficult to withstand his whims, but no one in the room dared to open their mouths - everyone understood that the producers were relying mainly on Gosling, and Cooper and Mendes were, as it were, in the making. The press called him “the future hope of Hollywood”, “sexy as hell”, he had already received nominations for an Oscar and a Golden Globe, but, among other things, he also had many serious professional prizes. “His talent lies in his incredible masculine charm. Probably, he doesn’t have to play anything at all, he just needs to appear in the frame,” wrote the prestigious New York Times.
And now Eva got into the same film with him, with this “best, most promising and most talented artist of his generation,” and even in the role of his beloved woman, for whom his hero will commit crime and death. Of course, she fell in love with him at first sight... which certainly could not be said about Gosling himself. He then had two girlfriends at once - actress Olivia Wilde and English fashion model Jamie Murray. By the way, he brought the latter with him to the reading, and she was waiting for him in the corridor. But literally a week before the start of filming, he quarreled with her: Jamie wanted to get into Hollywood, try herself as an actress and, in fact, used Gosling to get the necessary contacts. After breaking up with Ryan, the girl quickly married film producer Bernie Cahill - he promised her his protection at the “dream factory”.
From the very first day of filming, Eva was nervous, because according to the director’s idea, she had to act without makeup, and she was very embarrassed about her unmade-up eyes and felt awkward without lipstick and blush. But Ryan didn't seem to care at all about her embarrassment or the real reason for her tightness. He really liked that during the break between filming episodes, Eva indulges in chocolate and boiled corn. He even confessed to her:
I always dreamed of meeting a girl who would not care about conventions and eat normal food. For me corn is sacred!
They began to linger after work for a drink at a nearby bar, and then ride into the night on Ryan's motorcycle, which he drove masterfully. He liked to scare Eva with especially sharp turns - because then she convulsively clung to his hips, began to squeal heart-rendingly and press her whole body against him. At these moments, he felt her chest, hot cheek and the pleasant aroma of coconut that emanated from her long hair. In addition to the corn, which they both consumed in large quantities, they were still heavily leaning on the squid - second favorite dish Ryan.
Eva often stayed overnight with him at his house near Silver Lake, and she was not at all embarrassed by the monstrous disorder that reigned there.
The atmosphere in Ryan's house was specific. Chet Baker was constantly blaring from the speakers. The old dog George shit wherever he wanted, had difficulty moving around the rooms and loved to sleep in his owner’s bed, next to his pillow, among the numerous Bonkers candy wrappers that Gosling adored since childhood. The cats howled heart-rendingly, which Ryan did not have time to feed in time. They followed him like shadows, emitting drawn-out moans. In addition, the brats kept peeing in Eva’s shoes, thereby showing their dissatisfaction with the stranger’s visits. Ryan preferred to heat up prepared food in the microwave, did not take the cigarette out of his mouth, but at the same time tenderly looked after his animals. I washed their bedding with my hands, cleaned their bowls and lovingly combed them with a special brush.
He often gave Eva home concerts - grabbing a guitar or drumming on an overturned pan. He sang all the songs of his band Dead Man’s Bones to her in a row, and she laughed and tried to sing along.
These were such happy moments! Eve loved the way Ryan walked around the house and furiously kicked a shoe that came along the way. I liked how, in a fit of tender feelings, he picks up the cat and kisses him on the top of the head. I liked that he cooked them scrambled eggs for breakfast and dropped ashes into it. I liked that he didn’t pretend to be anything at all, but simply lived and breathed the way he wanted. The only problem that Eve could not do anything about was her wild, unbridled jealousy. She wanted Gosling to belong only to her. I wanted to get it for exclusive use.
Ryan was born in 1980 into a modest family of a secretary and a paper mill worker. His parents divorced when the boy was very young. Left without his father's supervision, Ryan went completely off the rails. He constantly bullied and fought at school (his nickname was Trouble), and one day he did this! After watching the action movie “Rambo” on TV. First Blood,” brought a bunch of kitchen knives to school and began throwing them at fellow students, imitating Stallone. Fortunately, he did not injure anyone; the guards tied him up in time and dragged him to the director.
After this unpleasant story, the boy was expelled in disgrace. And the psychologist imposed by the police advised the mother to channel her son’s energy into creativity by enrolling him in some club or even martial arts courses. Mom began looking for interesting activities for the boy and took him to the casting of the children's TV show “Mickey Mouse Club,” which was being held at that time. The unbridled Ryan seemed funny to the producers, and they immediately took him into the project, where the same energetic kids were next to him - Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera And Justin Timberlake. Ryan immediately turned his attention from hooliganism to working on the show. He had a blast playing his character and tried his best. He later recalled about that time in an interview with the Daily Mail portal: “The backstage of that little world seemed absolutely magical. Where else could you see Mickey Mouse taking off his false head and drinking coffee during a break? There are pirates calling on the phone, ghosts queuing for food in the canteen... Probably, then I realized: it was decided, I would work as an artist all my life.” He began attending castings, went to all the auditions in a row, and got small roles in TV series. He was only 24 years old when he got into the melodrama “The Notebook,” which made him a star of the first magnitude. Then there was an Oscar nomination for the role of a drug-addicted schoolteacher in Half Nelson, the magnificent Fanatic and “absolutely brilliant work” (according to critics of the American publication Premiere) in the crime thriller Drive.
Gosling immediately began to appear on various lists compiled by fashion magazines - he was among the “most sexy men planet”, “the most gifted artists of the new generation”, became “the most eligible bachelor" and "the star of the future of Hollywood." Of course, women immediately noticed him. Among the fleeting simpleton friends - make-up artists, costume designers, assistant directors - there were also big fish: young Ryan's affair with his adult partner in the film "Murder Countdown" Sandra Bullock lasted for two years; he secretly cheated on actress Rachel McAdams for four years with another "aunt" , actress Famke Janssen. He never took his love affairs seriously, calling love a “hobby” and sex “leisure.” His main hobbies were pets and music.
So when Ryan fell in love with Eve, none of his friends really bet on their romance. Well, maybe a couple of cents. In addition, the lovers regularly quarreled - jealous Eva threw hysterics, which made Ryan “sick, honestly.” But Mendes did not limit herself to scandals: she dictated to her beloved how to dress, and bought clothes that he did not like, rummaged through those sent to Ryan e-mail and even tried to influence him when choosing new projects. So, last year she banned Ryan from playing main role V war drama, which was directed by Angelina Jolie (she didn’t want her boyfriend to be directed by such a woman). She threatened to leave him if he auditioned for the role of the vicious millionaire Christian Gray in the acclaimed project “Fifty Shades of Grey,” where Gosling was invited by the producers. Of course, Ryan categorically did not like the prison living conditions, but he was in love with Eve and tried not to pay attention to her nonsense. Nevertheless, “the opinions of the couple’s close friends” began to leak into the media. Thus, according to People, “The problem with Eve and Ryan is that they don’t have the same personalities at all. And their temperaments are different. And tastes: Ryan is all about music and cinema, and Eva is all about pathological jealousy. Besides, she is completely unsure of him, of his feelings. If Eve accidentally sees SMS messages on Ryan’s phone, sent from an unfamiliar number, she starts squealing and accuses him of cheating!”
However, despite frequent quarrels, the lovers continued to stay together. And when Eva was filming in Paris for director Leo Carax in the film “Holy Motors Corporation,” Ryan came to visit her and took her to Disneyland for the whole day, where he fattened her up with cotton candy, corn and ice cream. The couple was also seen walking through the Père Lachaise cemetery - they visited the grave of Jim Morrison. OK magazine then published photos that showed Ryan holding a rose all evening, which he brought for Eva so that she would not freeze her hands in the icy wind of Paris.
They were definitely happy together. Albeit with reservations. Eve cooked an amazing potato casserole with mushrooms after the twenty-fifth reminder, crookedly sewed torn buttons on Ryan's clothes and was ready to chat with him about this and that until the morning. With her it was simple, cozy and great at the same time. I didn’t want to go outside again or even go to work - Eva’s stuffy little world seemed like a gentle refuge. True, these sensations were subjected to serious tests every day. And the day came when Ryan was just tired.
Six months ago there was an ugly quarrel between them. It happened in a crowded place, in the Dior brand clothing store in Beverly Hills, where the couple came to choose their evening clothes before a special event. Ryan and Eve were supposed to go to Cannes to present Gosling's directorial debut, in which the actress played the main role, the film How to Catch a Monster. While Ryan, who hated social gatherings and tuxedos, was looking at the jackets on the hangers with a dissatisfied expression, Eva had already put aside a tuxedo for him and almost had time to buy it. He intercepted her at the cash register.
It's a joke? Or did you just take it and go pay? - Ryan asked.
Yes, I want to give you a gift,” she replied.
Without asking my opinion? - Gosling continued.
It can’t be... you don’t understand rags. But I understand, I know better,” Eva began to get excited.
There is a great way to solve the problem with clothes: now you leave this rubbish here, we say goodbye, go outside and don’t go anywhere. To hell with this party! - Ryan exploded.
Aah, I see. Well, of course, what kind of party? Last night your phone rang. You just decided to go somewhere else and with another friend!
Lord, strengthen me! How can we live together if I can’t even go out for cigarettes without your permission?
Both left the store angry and dissatisfied with each other. The day was ruined. Literally that same evening, they again quarreled over some stupid everyday trifle, and by midnight they were so angry that the situation got out of control. It was clear that the relationship was completely falling apart. I didn't want to be together at all. As a result, Gosling came to Cannes alone, appeared in public in a simple white shirt tucked into regular dark trousers, and all the journalists Cote d'Azur hastened to notify the world that “Mr. Gosling has again entered the bachelor market.”
But they spent very little time apart. Living without each other turned out to be quite sad. Eva somehow immediately calmed down, began to spend more and more time at home, suddenly discovering innumerable ailments (nausea, dizziness, pain in the legs), and hung on the phone for a long time, talking confidentially with her friends. She now has a lot of free time to understand herself and her relationship with Ryan. She felt very lonely. On the advice of her mother, she even agreed to undergo a course of therapy with a psychiatrist she knew - it turns out that there are special programs for those who are “recently divorced.” During these sessions, the girl heard a lot of interesting things: as it turned out, she did everything wrong. And happiness consisted in not only accepting a loved one with all his features, without reservations or conditions, but also experiencing joy at the same time. Belated discoveries plunged Eve into the abyss of new reflections, when suddenly something happened that she least expected: it turned out that her strange ailments were not accidental. Eva was pregnant!
Ryan, meanwhile, also walked around as if he was in a daze. Confusion, low spirits, loneliness, especially at night, when all the animals in the house fell asleep and it became somehow especially quiet. At first, to be honest, he rejoiced at his newfound freedom. He liked to fall asleep in George's arms, eat whenever he wanted, sit on the windowsill with a cigarette, writing scraps of ideas for future scripts in a notebook. With Eva, such self-immersion, solitude and silence were simply impossible. But just a couple of days later he began to feel depressed. He really wanted to see Eve. I wanted to hold her close, to inhale the aroma of her hair, which she loved to wash with coconut shampoo, to feel her delicate skin, just be silent. What is there, even if in Once again make excuses for some ridiculous offense! It was definitely better with Eva than without her. Time passed unbearably boring without a friend.
Probably, if they had thought of getting married, many problems could have been avoided. She would twitch less, calm down, and stop watching him. He had never had such a long-term attachment before. Never before had he experienced so many claims and so much passion for any woman at the same time. Days passed after days, they did not communicate, only sometimes finding out meager details about each other from mutual friends. And then one early morning - Ryan remembered this episode literally minute by minute (he had barely returned with George after a walk) - Eve called on her mobile. She was crying, and he had difficulty making out the words:
This will all sound stupid, I know. And I don't know why I'm calling you. Yes, yes, it’s all over, I’m bad, I’m annoying, everything is completely stupid. But then it happened... and I just don’t know, I don’t know how now... I’m pregnant!
Eva hung up. Hearing the news, Ryan slid down the wall to the floor and sat motionless for a while. Then he dialed her number himself:
Why am I one hundred percent sure that now you will stop being such a bore?
Of course, neither of them expected such a turn of events. Nevertheless, it was quite natural. As the actress admitted in an interview with the French magazine Madame Figaro: “By nature, Ryan and I are tramps. Gypsies. We are on the move all the time. And they always treated their connections this way: everything is temporary, for now. a quick fix, like fast food. We believed that everything serious would happen to us much later, later. Everything later. But life stopped us, as if it had hit us on the head. Stop! Let's try to do everything differently! "
“Doing things differently” actually turned out to be quite simple. Ryan suggested that Eve come back and try to start over. He really liked the new sensations; he didn’t even imagine that the news about the child would make him so happy. Previously, he thought mainly about himself, music, his dog George and cats, a lot about Eve, often about squid, and even more often about work. But now my thoughts were occupied with something completely different. Ryan imagined what this baby would be like, that he would tell him how to care for him, where to take him and how to deal with him. He even imagined that he would leave the little one as an inheritance - his father’s old Buick, for example, a couple of Kerouac’s lifetime editions with the author’s autograph, the pipe that Hemingway smoked (Ryan bought it at an auction in London), and his wristwatch with a broken second hand. He dreamed of cooking for a child different dishes of his own composition, ride him on your back and show him tricks that you taught to your pets.
Previously closed and reserved in conversations with journalists, Eva allowed herself a frank confession in a short interview with the Spanish magazine Hola!: “Everything changes when a man comes to you for good. When you realize that there is no need to rush anywhere anymore. When you are expecting your baby."
Eva managed to hide her interesting situation from the public throughout her pregnancy - because she stayed at home all the time. The actress was embarrassed by her appearance, and did not want to give rise to gossip and gossip...
She stopped doing “private investigation”, rummaging through the pockets of her beloved man and twitching at the sound of incoming SMS. Remembering the lectures she listened to, Eva learned to be different - to accept her loved one as he is, without conditions. She spent her days lying on the couch with a book or headphones. And in the evenings, peacefully hugging each other, Eva and Ryan watched movies until dawn. Both no longer wanted to wage war. Ryan made discoveries for himself every day: how nice it is to wake up and smell the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. It’s lazy to lie in bed and wait for your beloved to bring breakfast on a tray. It’s good to hold hands, whistle to the dog and slowly go for a walk together in the neighboring park.
He also discovered a lot of new things about himself. For example, I began to master culinary recipes and cook Eve a variety of dishes. Go shopping, choose seasonings, products, exactly following the list compiled earlier. If one of his friends a hundred years ago would have told him about what a desperate homebody he would one day become, Ryan would definitely have twirled his finger at his temple. He was not like that and did not see such qualities in himself. Besides, he never wanted to start a family. What now? Ryan diligently cleans the rooms, takes things to the laundry and declares to his friends: “I am different now. I don’t want to stay anywhere else or try anything. I just want to be at home, next to my beloved and her belly.”
September 2014. Late hour. Supermarket in the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles. Midnight visitors freeze with open mouths when Ryan Gosling himself walks past them. The popular actor pushes a cart in front of him, loaded to the brim with groceries, every now and then looking at a crumpled piece of paper - a list of necessary purchases. Star actor, who once received the title of “one of the most handsome men of the living,” dressed in a modest T-shirt and jeans, and the surprised face of a cat sticking out of the backpack behind him. “Maybe they’re filming a movie here?” - the first thing that comes to mind for buyers.
No, no one made a movie. Ryan Gosling came to the supermarket completely alone, of his own free will and clearly on business. The girls in the hall and at the checkout seemed to have fallen into a stupor; they were clearly internally struggling with directly opposite feelings: on the one hand, they wanted to immediately run for an autograph, on the other hand, they tormented themselves with painful doubts: “is he or is he not?” Yes, it really was Ryan. Yes, he came to the store to buy food and necessary household items, because now he is responsible for all the household chores. Yes, and so his fans saw him in a rather unpresentable form. However, Ryan himself never ceased to amaze himself. Never before, even when he was very drunk, could he imagine such a balance of power: his girlfriend was sitting at home, and he was running around her like a housekeeper. Real nonsense. If only his old girlfriends could look at him now, how deftly he copes with baking pancakes and preparing pasta. Of course, he regularly drops dishes, leaves the kitchen faucet open, and sometimes forgets to put leftover food in the refrigerator. Fortunately, these moments do not bother Eva at all. Now she is preoccupied with global problems: she regularly measures her blood pressure, compiles a detailed report on her feelings for the gynecologist who is observing her, and constantly complains to Ryan about her appearance: “No, just look at how saggy your ass is. What about the belly button? It's turned inside out." She is upset by her changed body. Ryan just shrugs calmly in response: “I don’t care, I like you just the way you are.”
On September 12, at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Eva gave birth to a baby girl, whom she and Ryan named Esmeralda Amada Gosling. According to the couple's friends, everything was very emotional. Eva and Ryan burst into tears as doctors delivered their daughter. But Ryan began to worry - now he will have to hold the line in a house full of women. (His mother and sister volunteered to help at first and quickly moved into their house.)
The same friends who recently predicted a quick breakup for the couple are now drowning in compliments: “Ryan has found real happiness for the first time,” “before he never had a home, and now, thanks to Eva and her inability to manage a household, he has learned a lot of everyday wisdom on the go.” . And he liked it." According to Gosling, now he clearly understands his dog George, whom he once adopted from a shelter: “I am now the same as he was many years ago. Just one face! I also can’t believe it – isn’t this a dream, do I really have my own personal home? Your own, and not government litter? Gosha. Yes, this is so cool! " He is happy to become a father. Happy to feel like a husband... All that remains is to find time to work. According to rumors, Gosling received an offer to play Houdini himself and the hero of the cult comics Doctor Strange. “I don’t know how I’m going to keep up with everything,” Ryan admitted in an interview with People magazine. - I'll probably refuse. Now my daughter comes first.”
