Eva Mendes Reveals Whether She'd Ever Return to Acting

As a dedicated fan who has been following Eva Mendes‘ journey for over a decade, I must say her life choices and experiences resonate deeply with me. Her decision to step away from acting to focus on family and raising her beautiful daughters is something many of us can relate to – the struggle between our personal lives and our careers.


Eva Mendes is never saying never when it comes to hitching her wagon back to acting.

For a full ten years now, the actress who starred in “Hitch” has hinted at the possibility of returning to acting, yet she shows no immediate eagerness for such a move.

Eva expressed to George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America on September 18th that she doesn’t have knowledge about any intriguing roles currently. She had departed around ten years ago and felt that she had accomplished what she set out to do.

The 50-year-old celebrity shared that deciding to retire from acting after collaborating repeatedly with partner Ryan Gosling, who are parents to Esmeralda, age 10, and Amada, age 8, seemed like a suitable time to step back from the film industry.

In summary, they first crossed paths in the film “The Place Beyond the Pines,” released in 2012, and subsequently collaborated again in Ryan’s, who is now 43 years old, final directorial project, titled “Lost River,” from 2014.

She excitedly exclaimed, “‘Working with Ryan Gosling, who’s absolutely fantastic,’ has been the pinnacle of my career. It was so exhilarating that I felt like saying, ‘It’s time to, well, quote Seinfeld and just leave!’

But as Eva coyly added, “So, who knows?”

Over the years, the actress has shared insight into her absence from the big screen, including calling out the lack of substantive Latina roles available to her.

Eva expressed during an interview with Variety in 2022 that she no longer yearns for acting. She grew weary of the struggle to secure quality roles. Eventually, she decided that she would generate her own opportunities by producing projects and creating her own content, but it didn’t seem worthwhile to her anymore.

10 years ago, I found myself stepping away from acting roles because they didn’t offer much diversity for Latinas. However, it’s heartening to see the change in opportunities for Latina actresses today. I can hardly wait to explore what lies ahead!

Additionally, she wished to take a break from acting so she could dedicate more time to nurturing her two daughters with Ryan.

Eva clarified, “In this moment, I felt it was appropriate for me to take action, and I’m currently spending time at home with my children.

Over the last decade, the star of “2 Fast 2 Furious” has withdrawn from acting and social media activity more than you might think. Fans noticed this trend, but it was explained in 2021 by the actress herself that she made these changes to focus more on her children.

Eva explained to the commenter that she was posting less due to her desire to be more present for her family. She pointed out that her children require her attention, leaving little time for social media posts. While she still manages to get work done when it suits her, she clarified that her decision to spend less time on social media is not related to that. Rather, it’s because she finds it challenging to balance family life and social media effectively.
