Ryan Gosling Shares Rare Glimpse Into Life With His & Eva Mendes’ Kids

But as time has gone on, have Esmeralda and Amada gotten a better grasp of his work? “Yeah. I think they finally figured it out… that my name is actually ‘The Gray Man’ and I’m an assassin for the CIA,” he said, referencing his new movie The Gray Man with Chris Evans and Regé-Jean Page.

While Gosling and Mendes will briefly talk about their kids in interviews, they tend to shield them from the limelight and protect their privacy. For Mendes, this includes not posting pictures of them on social media.

“I have always had a clear boundary when it comes to my man and my kids,” the 47-year-old actress explained to an Instagram follower in 2020. “I’ll talk about them of course, with limits, but I won’t post pictures of our daily life. And since my children are still so little and don’t understand what posting their image really means, I don’t have their consent. And I won’t post their image until they’re old enough to give me consent.” 

Mendes and Gosling also prefer to keep their relationship out of the public eye. “As far as Ryan and I,” she continued, “it just works for us this way, to stay private.”
