Eva Mendes Has Best Reaction to Fans Thirsting Over Ryan Gosling

Eva Mendes knows her man is amaze, amaze, amaze.

After Ryan Gosling charmed fans at the New York City premiere of Project Hail Mary, one person shared their positive experience, and the actor—known for films like Hitch—confirmed he’s just as kind and genuine off-screen.

Eva noticed a video set to Salt-N-Pepa’s song “Whatta Man” that showed her partner interacting with fans at Lincoln Center.

The person who posted the video on March 18th was incredibly impressed, saying they couldn’t stop sharing it with others.

And Eva gave a glimpse into her life with the Barbie actor alongside her heartfelt reaction. 

The actress, who shares 11-year-old Esmeralda and 9-year-old Amada with Ryan, wrote, “This is beautiful! I agree, and girls, he truly is an amazing partner and father.”

She added, “He’s absolutely amazing! Thank you all so much for your support of him and the movie. Sending lots of love!”

Eva has consistently shown Ryan how much she cares for him, and she’s been a dedicated partner for over 15 years, always offering him her full support.

Ryan Reynolds has been a strong advocate for recognizing stunt performers at award shows. This effort is particularly highlighted by his 2024 film, The Fall Guy, where he portrays a stuntman, and he recently commended their commitment to gaining more recognition.

In April 2024, she excitedly posted on Instagram about her partner, calling him “the best.” She was especially proud of his efforts during the promotional tour for his movie, Fall Guy, where he campaigned to get stunt work officially recognized by the Oscars. After nearly a century of being overlooked, the Academy has now created a category for stunt design!

Eva and Ryan clearly support each other in many ways. For example, when Ryan Gosling was promoting his movie The Fall Guy, he wore a T-shirt advertising Eva Mendes’ children’s book, Desi, Mami and the Never-Ending Worries. Even though they generally keep their relationship private, they’ve often spoken about how important they are to each other.

In 2015, he told ET Canada that he was certain Eva Mendes was the one for him, saying he wasn’t looking for anyone else.

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes began their relationship soon after appearing as a couple in the 2012 movie A Place Beyond the Pines.

Three years after the film came out, Ryan shared with Hello magazine that he feels he’s with the right person. When asked what he loves most about his partner, he simply said, “She’s Eva Mendes.”

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.”

He described his life as blissful, saying it felt like ‘walking through a field of flowers every day.’ In a 2016 interview on Good Morning America, he shared that he felt surrounded by wonderful people – ‘angels’ – and that they brought joy to even difficult times.

When Ryan won a Golden Globe for La La Land in 2017, he dedicated the award to Eva and her brother, Juan Carlos Méndez Jr., who had passed away. He explained that while he was enjoying making the film, Eva was raising their daughter, pregnant with their second child, and supporting her brother as he fought cancer.

Ryan continued, “If she hadn’t taken on so much to allow me this opportunity, someone else would definitely be standing here today. So, thank you, darling.”

For years, I honestly never pictured motherhood for myself. Then, life had a funny way of surprising me – and Ryan Gosling came into the picture! It completely changed my perspective, and here we are now – a mom! It just goes to show you, you never really know what life has in store.

She explained to Women’s Health in 2019 that falling in love with him led her to want to be a mother to his children, rather than have her own. It was a decision deeply connected to her relationship with him.

In 2019, Eva described life with Ryan and their two daughters to Access, saying it was a mix of joy, beauty, and occasional frustration.

She admitted it was challenging. “At the end of the day, after the kids are in bed, Ryan and I just look at each other, relieved that we made it through okay.”

In May 2020, Eva explained to a fan on Instagram that she and Ryan prefer to keep their family life private. She shared that she doesn’t discuss Ryan’s qualities as a father because she values keeping that aspect of their lives personal.

I’m happy to share what I’m comfortable with, but I’d prefer to keep my partner and children from being overly involved. I hope that makes sense—it’s just my honest feeling about the situation.

Likewise, Ryan didn’t really have baby on the brain until Eva came along. 

In a 2023 interview with GQ, Ryan Gosling confessed that he hadn’t considered having children before meeting Eva Mendes. He explained that after they got together, he knew he didn’t want to raise a family with anyone else.

Ryan shared that while filming The Place Beyond the Pines, he felt a strong connection with his costars and wished their on-screen family dynamic was real. He said he’d be incredibly happy to have that kind of life.

When it comes to parenting, Ryan also admittedly looks to his longtime love.

I rely on Eva a lot,” he shared with GQ in 2023. “She always has a clear sense of what really matters, and she just seems to know instinctively. Whenever I’m overthinking things, I always ask for her opinion.

Looking back on his life before meeting Eva, the actor from The Notebook explained, “I was searching for someone like her, really.”

He added, “But it all makes sense now.”

After the hit movie Barbie, Eva publicly praised her partner, Ryan, acknowledging the criticism he faced when he first accepted the role. In a January 2024 Instagram post, she expressed how proud she was of him.

Even with all the online mockery and articles criticizing him, he created a truly original, funny, and deeply moving character that has become iconic, and he managed to get it recognized all the way up to the Oscars.

Eva says working with Ryan Gosling on The Place Beyond the Pines was a transformative experience. During an interview on Today in March 2024, she described his acting process as unlike anything she’d ever witnessed.

“The way he works, his commitment to his craft, how he wants to make everything as best as it can be,” the Girl in Progress star shared, “and that means making his costars as best as they can be.” 

But for Ryan, Eva is the one doling out the acting lessons.

He told Extra in May 2024 that she’s the best acting coach he’s ever worked with, and that her support is limitless.
