As the highly-anticipated Barbie premiere approaches and Ryan Gosling continues to make waves on red carpets worldwide, fans can’t help but notice the absence of his longtime partner, Eva Mendes. The couple has rarely been seen together in public, with their last official appearance dating all the way back to 2012 for the premiere of “The Place Beyond the Pines.”
Their love story began on the set of the film in 2011, and they have remained inseparable ever since. Mendes and Gosling have built a beautiful life together, welcoming two daughters, eight-year-old Esmeralda and six-year-old Amada. Earlier this year, Mendes took to Instagram to reminisce about the crime thriller that brought them together, sharing a clip of the moment their characters first laid eyes on each other.
One fan responded to the post expressing their desire to see Mendes and Gosling together during the awards season, to which Mendes replied with gratitude. However, she also admitted that joint red carpet appearances are not something they typically do. Mendes clarified that she only feels comfortable sharing photos that are already in the public domain, hinting at their commitment to maintaining a private life.
While Mendes did acknowledge that they had walked the red carpet together once before, she made it clear that such occasions are few and far between. This was evident at the recent premiere of Barbie in Los Angeles, where Gosling wore a necklace with an “E” in the Barbie font as a loving tribute to his partner.
A Family Affair: Ryan Gosling’s Daughters and Barbie
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Gosling revealed just how involved his daughters were in the making of Barbie, which is set to hit theaters on July 21. He shared that they had seen various parts of the film and had even helped him with his role. Their experiences playing with Barbies served as inspiration for Gosling as he stepped into the shoes of Ken.
When asked if his daughters found his role amusing, Gosling confirmed that they did, but added that he worked on the character to ensure it was entertaining. However, despite their involvement and approval, Gosling expressed hesitation about letting his daughters watch the final film. He confessed that it was already “weird enough” for them to see him portray Ken, and he wanted to hold off on exposing them to the full extent of the character’s energy.
Eva Mendes remains a mystery to the public, choosing to keep a low profile while supporting her partner, Ryan Gosling, from behind the scenes. Their love story continues to captivate fans, and although joint red carpet appearances may be rare, their bond remains strong. As Gosling’s daughters play a significant role in his life and work, their influence shines through in his portrayal of Ken in the upcoming film Barbie.
