Speaking alongside Kelly Clarkson, Eva Mendes revealed what the parenting life really is like with Ryan Gosling.
Ryan Took His Parents And Sisters To The Oscars Over Eva
While backstage, Eva opted for a casual attire, donning a long denim skirt paired with a white top and jean jacket, which she accessorised with a baseball cap atop her head. Given that Eva wasn’t dressed in formal wear, it suggests she planned to stay backstage the entire night and not sit in the audience to witness her Ryan’s big night.
Rather than taking his long-time partner, Ryan made the Oscars red carpet a family affair in another way, as he took his parents and sister to celebrate his Barbie success (Ryan gave a celebrated rendition of “I’m Just Ken” at the highly anticipated awards show). Photos from the red carpet show the 43-year-old accompanied by his mother, Donna Gosling, sister Mandi Gosling, and stepfather Valerio Attanasio.

Rachel McAdams reportedly was deeply upset by the news that Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes were having a baby.
Eva’s decision to skip the red carpet may seem unusual, but she and Ryan have become known for not attending red carpets together in addition to going to great lengths to prevent their two daughters from being photographed publicly. The couple have been dating since they met while filming 2011’s The Place Beyond the Pines, and while it’s been rumored the two have wed, they’ve never confirmed their marital status.
Eva Revealed Why She Doesn’t Do Public Events With Ryan
Eva explained in an Instagram comment last year why she and Ryan don’t do public events together, explaining it has nothing to do with how their relationship is going.
“We don’t do those things together,” she explained, adding they’re “not comfortable exposing our very private life that we value.”
Despite being together for over a decade, Eva and Ryan have been faced with break-up rumors for years. “They started having problems back in September. They decided to quietly call it off for good around Christmas. There is no ill will,” one source claimed years ago, though it seemed to be a false report, considering the couple remain together.
While Ryan was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at this year’s Oscars, he didn’t take home the coveted award, despite Barbie’s box office success. Gosling reportedly made $12.5 million for the role, though his co-star Margot Robbie reportedly made up to $50 million not only for her role as lead actor but also as an executive producer. The film went on to make over $1 billion at the box office, capturing the hearts of millions of people across the globe.
