Are Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling Still Together? Inside Relationship After She Skips Oscars Red Carpet
Loving life together but doing it out of the public eye! Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are one of Hollywood’s most iconic couples but don’t expect them to walk a red carpet together any time soon. In fact, Ryan walked the 2024 Oscars red carpet with some of his family members instead of his longtime love.
However, the Hitch star will share brief glimpses of their adorable relationship via Instagram. In April 2023, she uploaded a clip of their 2012 film The Place Beyond the Pines, writing, “Magic is Real. We did not meet on set. The magic started way before but here’s a little magic captured on camera.”
When a fan commented with a wish to see them on the Barbie red carpet together, Eva explained why that’s not in the cards.
“You’re the best! What a cool comment, thank you. But we don’t do those things together,” she explained. “Like these photos I’ve been posting, I’m only comfortable posting because it’s already out there.”
Are Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling Still Together?
Despite their dedication to keeping their relationship private, Ryan and Eva proved they were still together in March 2024 when she celebrated his evening at the Oscars in an Instagram post. While Eva skipped walking the red carpet with her man, she revealed that she was backstage supporting him at the event, where he was a performer and nominee.
“Always by my man,” Eva wrote on the social media site. She also shared a video of herself next to Ryan’s dressing room backstage.
The Other Guys actress also praised Ryan’s release of “Ken the EP,” which was a holiday version of Barbie’s “I’m Just Ken” musical number, in December 2023.
“So grateful to @iammarkronson for getting my man to make more music,” the actress gushed about The Notebook actor in the caption. “Dead Man’s Bones is my favorite band …. when I first heard Ryan sing, MY HEART EXPLODED. More Ryan & Ronson musica por favor!”
When explaining to fans why she and Ryan don’t walk red carpets together in her April 2023 Instagram comment, Eva did reflect on The Place Beyond the Pines premiere when they were photographed together.
“We only were on the red carpet together once when promoting this film,” she added, noting that while they don’t feel “comfortable exposing our very private life that we value,” Eva is “still dying to do another movie with him though.”
“It may not seem obvious, but he’s very dominant and dictates how they live their public life. He insists on their ultra-private image, and from the beginning he was the one who decided that they would not step out together,” an insider told In Touch in March 2024.
“Eva accepted Ryan’s wishes, and she loves him, but it’s not typical for her personality [to be so private],” the source continued. “She’d like to be a little more public with their relationship, because people truly sometimes forget he has a wife and children!”
Are Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling Married?
Since the pair are private about their personal life, it’s unclear if they’re actually married. However, Eva seemingly hinted at them tying the knot in November 2022 when she showed off a new tattoo that read, “de Gosling,” which fans have speculated is a translation for “Mrs. Gosling.” That same month, the Lost River actress seemingly referred to Ryan as her spouse, further sparking marriage rumors.
“Everyone is so welcoming here, and my husband, Ryan, is here, and we are having the best time,” she told Today at the time. The pair have been romantically linked since 2011.
It wasn’t the Fall Guy star’s call to announce they tied the knot. “Ryan is intensely private, so there’s a lot of mystery surrounding them as a couple. The fact that they seem to live separate lives only adds to the mystique,” the insider told In Touch.
Do Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling Have Kids?
The couple shares two kids together. They welcomed daughter Esmeralda in September 2014 and daughter Amada in April 2016.
“It was the furthest thing from my mind,” Eva told Women’s Health in April 2019 about motherhood. “[Then,] Ryan Gosling happened. I mean, falling in love with him. Then it made sense for me to have … not kids, but his kids. It was very specific to him.”
