Ryan Gosling and his partner Eva Mendes started dating in 2011. The pair have been together for about 13 years and share two daughters, Esmeralda Amada and Amada Lee Gosling. Gosling and Mendes are often tight-lipped about their relationship.
The two met on the set of “The Place Beyond the Pines,” where they costarred as love interests. In September 2011, they were spotted on a date in Disneyland’s California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California, where the two took their offscreen romance away from the cameras.
A source said Gosling and Mendes had great chemistry on screen and enjoyed filming the movie “The Place Beyond the Pines” as Luke and Romina together. “Ryan and Eva have spent a lot of time together on the set,” added the insider.
Away from the set and on a date, the two enjoyed pink cotton candy and popcorn, had fun on the amusement park rides, and were seen holding hands at Disney’s Tomorrowland. An onlooker said Gosling was paying lots of attention to his date. He would look at her face as they walked through crowds and ensure she was okay.
A year after meeting, Mendes and Gosling were spotted attending the actor’s mother’s graduation at Brock University in Ontario, Canada, in June 2012. The pair looked happy to be in each other’s company and received a warm reception at the university as members were shocked at their high-profile appearance.
Mendes and Gosling were not married when they welcomed their first child. The actress gave birth to Esmeralda Amada Gosling on September 12, 2014, at 10:22 a.m. in Santa Monica, California. A friend of the couple said they had discussed having children before the actress got pregnant.
However, as much as Eva Mendes and Gosling haven’t clarified their marital status, they have shown that they are a family by speaking lovingly about each other and their parenting skills and giving their fans a glimpse into their happy life, where they raise their two daughters and love each other.
