Ryan Gosling Reveals When He Knew Eva Mendes Was The One—And Fans Are Swooning Hard

The two actors met while filming 2012's 'The Place Beyond the Pines,' and Gosling knew that he would be 'really lucky' to have a life with Mendes.

Ryan Gosling revealed that he knew the exact moment his longtime romantic partner Eva Mendes was the one for him.

The pair has been romantically linked since 2011 after co-starring together in the epic crime drama, The Place Beyond the Pines.


They have two daughters, Esmerelda–who was born in 2014—and Amanda–who was born two years later.

Before becoming a dad, Gosling told GQ in an interview that he never thought about fatherhood until Mendes told him she was pregnant.

The 42-year-old Golden Globe winner later explained further what he meant.

"That's not really true," he clarified, adding:

"I didn’t want to overshare, but now I also don’t want to misrepresent."
"I mean, it's true that I wasn't thinking about kids before I met her, but after I met Eva, I realized that I just didn't want to have kids without her."
"And there were moments on 'The Place Beyond the Pines' where we were pretending to be a family, and I didn't really want it to be pretend anymore."
"I realized that this would be a life I would be really lucky to have."

Admirers were inspired to seek the same relationship goals.









After finding success as a leading man in commercial films like La La Land and Blade Runner 2049, Gosling took a four-year absence from Hollywood to devote some time to being a family man after he and Mendes had their second daughter, Amanda.

"I wanted to spend as much time as I could with them," he said.

"I would never want to go back, you know?"
"I’m glad I didn’t have control over my destiny in that way, because it was so much better than I ever had dreamed for myself.”

After his brief hiatus, Gosling was back on the big screen with movies like the 2022 action thriller The Gray Man and the upcoming Barbie movie inspired by the Mattel fashion doll of the same name.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
