Baby No. 3? Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes ‘Would Love a Little Brother’ for Their Daughters
Baby on the brain? Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are thinking about baby no. 3, a source divulged exclusively to Life & Style. The couple currently shares two young daughters — Esmerelda, 4, and Amada, 3, — but wouldn’t be opposed to giving their sweet girls a little brother. Needless to say, their family is already gorgeous but adding a baby Ryan to the mix would be the cutest.
“Ryan and Eva definitely talk about having another child,” the insider revealed. “They would love a little brother for their daughters, Esmerelda and Amada.” The spunky tots would probably adore having a newborn in the house.
The pair had their beautiful girls a bit later in life but that doesn’t mean there’s not still time to have more kids — whether it’s naturally or if they choose to explore other options. “Eva’s 45, so it’s kind of now or never, but they’ve also considered adopting,” the source continued. “Who knows what they’ll end up doing, since they’re so super private, but they definitely enjoy being parents. They both say it’s their most important role. They have a lot of love to give, I can definitely see them with one more child.”
The A-listers have been together since 2011 and seem to have a relationship full of love. The actress recently confessed during an interview with Women’s Health in April that motherhood was the “furthest thing” from her mind before she met The Notebook actor, 38. “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,” the Ghost Rider star gushed about her handsome beau.
As far as their success as parents, Eva acknowledged that they’ve recruited a lot of help. “We have an amazing support group: Ryan’s mom, my mom, Ryan’s and my sisters. It’s a village that helped us. My heart goes out to women who do this alone,” she said. Their kids are almost grown out of the toddler stage and the busy mom dished, “We’re just starting to get out of survival mode. I’m starting to feel like a person again.”
Hmmm … ready to do it again, though? Time will tell!
