Before the 89th Academy Awards, many fans wondered if Ryan would bring his love Eva Mendes as his date to the star-studded event. Though Eva, 42, stayed home, Ryan still made the night a family affair by bringing his stunning sibling!

Ryan and Eva began dating in 2011 after meeting on the set of their film The Place Beyond the Pines. The very private couple — the only red carpet they’ve ever walked together was back in 2012! — are now parents to two daughters, Esmeralda, 2, and Amada, 9 months.

Though Ryan lost last night’s Best Actor Oscar to Casey Affleck — who won for his starring role in the drama Manchester by the Sea — his La La Land co-star Emma Stone did take home the Best Actress honor. Emma, 28, similarly brought her sibling, her brother Spencer Stone, as her date to the 2017 Oscars — so cute!
