Eva Mendes will never get Kenough of Ryan Gosling.
The actor from “Hitch,” who has daughters Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, 8 with the performer from “Barbie,” recently commended his long-term partner for highlighting some of Hollywood’s less recognized stars – the stunt professionals.
Eva, 51, expressed her pride in her partner on Instagram’s April 11 tribute, emphasizing their persistent efforts to gain recognition for stunts during award season. She noted that often success is only determined by box office returns, but she’s particularly proud because he transformed the entire “Fall Guy” press tour into a crusade to secure Oscar acknowledgment for stunts.
Absolutely, it’s Ryan who, in the 2024 action film with Emily Blunt, gained attention by praising the hard work of the cast both on and off-screen. More specifically, he gave credit to the four stunt doubles – Justin Eaton, Troy Brown, Logan Holladay, and Ben Jenkin – who played crucial roles in making the movie a reality. He even extended invitations to them for the Hollywood premiere of “Fall Guy” in April, during which he emphasized that the project was essentially a big push to get stunts recognized with an Oscar.
As a lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news that’s long overdue! It appears my advocacy hasn’t fallen on deaf ears. Just one day before Eva’s heartwarming shoutout, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Board of Directors made an historic decision. On April 10, they announced their intent to honor stunt doubles in a brand-new category. This prestigious award, known as the Achievement in Stunt Design, is set to make its grand debut at the 2028 Oscars. It’s about time these unsung heroes get the recognition they deserve!
With this recognition being long overdue, Eva celebrated the news as a “huge success.”
Kudos to the amazing stunt community!” The Ghost Rider actor added, with a touch of humor, referencing the photo she shared of Ryan and Emily from their time on Fall Guy. By the way, this will be the last time I post a picture of my man, Ryan Reynolds, and the stunningly beautiful Emily Blunt. No more such posts!
As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’ve always been drawn to sharing insights about the inspiring couples I admire. In this case, the duo in question have chosen to keep their 14-year relationship somewhat private, but that doesn’t stop Eva, who last graced the screen in the 2014 film “Lost River,” directed by her partner, from expressing her appreciation for his work. Last January, I couldn’t help but join the chorus of admiration when Ryan was nominated for an Oscar, portraying Barbie’s Ken.
In spite of the numerous criticisms and articles about him under the hashtag #Notmyken, he developed an entirely unique, funny, heart-breaking character that eventually became iconic and even won an Oscar. She expressed her immense pride in being referred to as ‘this Ken’s Barbie’ on Instagram at the time.

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes began their romantic relationship not long after they portrayed a couple in the 2012 crime drama film, “A Place Beyond the Pines.
Three years post the movie’s premiere, Ryan shared, “I believe I’m with the one I was destined to be with.” He further mentioned that he admires his companion, who happens to be Eva Mendes, most for being herself.
As he put it, “There’s nothing else I’m looking for.”
For Ryan, life with Eva and their daughters Esmeralda and Amada is “heaven.”
In 2016, he enthusiastically expressed that life feels like strolling through a blooming field daily, during his interview on Good Morning America. He considers himself surrounded by angels, describing it as a bright beacon of hope amidst difficult times.
Ryan dedicated his 2017 Golden Globe award for “La La Land” to Eva, as well as her late brother Juan Carlos Méndez Jr. He expressed this in his acceptance speech, saying, “As I was immersed in the joy and creativity of making this film, my partner was taking care of our daughter, pregnant with our second child, and supporting her brother in his fight against cancer.
Had she not shouldered all those responsibilities for me to have this opportunity, someone else might be standing here instead of me today,” said Ryan. “Darling, I want to express my gratitude to you.
For much of her life, Eva believed she wouldn’t be a mother. However, as the actress from The Proposal put it, “Ryan Gosling entered the picture.
In 2019, when speaking to Women’s Health, she expressed that her feelings were akin to falling in love with him. This realization led her to consider not having children of her own, but rather raising his children. Her sentiments were distinctly tied to him.
In a conversation with Access back in 2019, Eva humorously described their life as parents of two young girls alongside Ryan as being “delightful yet frustratingly beautiful.
She acknowledged, “It’s quite challenging indeed.” Afterward, they would tuck the kids in, and she and Ryan would exchange a glance, saying, “We made it, we really did. Considering all that, we’re still standing strong.
Eva openly discussed the choice she and her partner made to maintain privacy regarding their family life, expressing on Instagram in May 2020, “I don’t share stories about Ryan and his fantastic role as a father because I prefer to keep those aspects of our lives hidden from the public eye.
She explained, “I prefer to share only what I’m at ease with and limit his and our children’s involvement in the matter. Is that clear? Let’s hope it is, because that’s my genuine response.
Likewise, Ryan didn’t really have baby on the brain until Eva came along.
In a 2023 GQ interview, the star of Drive confessed, “Initially, I hadn’t given much thought to having children before meeting Eva. However, upon meeting her, I came to understand that I didn’t want to have kids unless she was part of the journey.
Indeed, Ryan expressed, “During The Place Beyond the Pines, there were instances when we feigned being a family, and I found myself yearning for it not to be an act any longer. I understood that such a life would be one I’d truly consider fortunate to experience.
When it comes to parenting, Ryan also admittedly looks to his longtime love.
In an interview with GQ in 2023, he shared that he relies on Eva. She has a knack for understanding what truly matters and seems to intuitively know when he’s troubled. Whenever he finds himself overthinking, he simply asks her for guidance.
Speaking during the same interview, the Notebook alum expressed that prior to meeting Eva, he had been searching for her all along.
He added, “But it all makes sense now.”
In January 2024, I proudly shared with the world that Ryan has proven to be more than capable following the triumph of his work on Barbie. Looking back at the initial skepticism I harbored when he took on this role, I can’t help but feel nothing but pride for him now.
In spite of being mocked on social media with the hashtag #Notmyken and numerous articles written about him, he managed to create an entirely unique, funny, poignant, and now widely recognized character,” she stated, “and went on to receive an Oscar for it.
Collaborating with Ryan on “The Place Beyond the Pines” significantly impacted Eva’s life in various aspects. During her interview with Today in March 2024, she expressed that his unique acting method was something she had never encountered before.
In her own words, “The dedication he puts into his work, his strive for excellence, and his desire to make everything the absolute best it can be,” as expressed by the actress from ‘Girl in Progress’, “extends to making his co-stars perform at their very best too.
But for Ryan, Eva is the one doling out the acting lessons.
In an interview with Extra in May 2024, he enthusiastically praised her as the top acting coach he’s ever encountered: “She has truly excelled at her craft,” he enthused. “The assistance she provides me is boundless.
