Eva Mendes Opens Up About Her Marriage and Parenting Challenges
Eva MendesIn a rare and heartfelt interview, Eva Mendes, 50, has shared intimate details about her private life with husband Ryan Gosling, 43. The couple, known for maintaining a low profile, has been together since 2011 and reportedly wed in a secret ceremony in 2016. Despite their fame, they have managed to keep their personal lives under wraps.
During a candid conversation with The Times, Eva revealed the profound impact Ryan has on her self-esteem, admitting that he makes her feel "real f****** sexy". The Hollywood actress confessed, "The way my man looks at me is just… at times I’m like, ‘Oh my God.’ That might not sit well with people, but so much of how I feel is a reflection of what he’s giving me". She explained that although she doesn't see herself as traditionally beautiful, Ryan's affection helps her feel more confident and sexy.
Aside from their romance, Eva opened up about the trials of parenting their two daughters, Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, 8. She shared her struggles on the Parenting & You podcast with Dr. Shefali, becoming emotional as she discussed the difficulties of balancing motherhood and her career. Eva admitted her tendency to yell, a habit she's tried to curb to avoid instilling fear in her children.
Reflecting on her parenting style, Eva said, "I don’t like myself when I yell. I act like a baby". She emphasized the challenge of staying calm amid the demands of both her children and her professional obligations. Despite working hard to practice gentle parenting, Eva finds herself reverting to the manner in which she was raised, which involved yelling.
Eva's openness about the complexities of parenting adds a relatable dimension to her public persona, showing that even A-list stars face everyday struggles. Her relationship with Ryan began on the set of "The Place Beyond the Pines" in 2012, where life imitated art as their characters' romance blossomed off-screen as well.
