Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes Take Their Daughters on a Dinner Date — See the Sweet Family Pics!

We absolutely cannot get over how big little Amada looks! It seems like just yesterday that the proud papa, 38, and his ladylove, 45, announced that baby No. 2 was on the way.

Speaking of Ryan’s ladylove, we’re pretty much obsessed with her. Even dressed down, Eva exudes sex appeal. Do you know how hard it is to look hot in sweatpants? It’s nearly impossible. 

Don’t get it twisted, though, the A-list pair’s connection is hardly skin deep. Ryan and Eva truly do have a love story for the ages.

In fact, it was Eva’s love for The Notebook alum that made her want to start a family. That’s right, ladies and gentleman, prior to meeting Ryan, Eva didn’t think about becoming a mama. 

“It was the furthest thing from my mind,” Eva told Women’s Health magazine about her desire to have children.

Her answer about what changed her mind was short, sweet and totally understandable, “Ryan Gosling,” she quipped.

“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,” she gushed. OK, give us a minute. We’re tearing up.

Now that Ryan and Eva’s babies aren’t, well, babies anymore, the duo is slowly starting to readjust their routine.

“We’re just starting to get out of survival mode. I’m starting to feel like a person again,” Eva admitted.

A person, indeed! After all, a weeknight sushi date with the family is certainly better than changing diapers. We’d imagine, anyway.

As for how Ryan is handling fatherhood? Like a pro … that’s how! “Ryan puts family first. His priorities have definitely flipped; family is first now, career second,” a source exclusively told Life & Style earlier this year.

“Ryan loves being a dad to his daughters more than anyone knows,” the insider continued. “He’s always been a natural with kids, but his girls Esmeralda and Amada have completely changed his perspective on everything he’s done in life.”
