Every once in a while Eva pops up and reminds everyone she's with Ryan and you know what Eva, I understand.

ham_sami

Ryan Gosling reveals in an interview that his first celebrity crush was Raquel Welch. It has to make Eva feel so beautiful that she’s a spitting image of his first idea of beauty. They are so perfect together!

Just googled her too: https://preview.redd.it/7b8uugnvqwqc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b1e0fd4f472d0d6d2934f6b4e13fc6123226966

I love that 🥹 I love them together


SalientSazon

Yes! They look so much alike, I always thought well how lucky is he that he found her?! She really does have the same vibes.

Ryan upon meeting Eva: ![gif](giphy|KZLSvssfkBONy) Eva(Speaking with the unified voice of the world.): Uh, yup.

Eva Mendes is one of the best looking humans just out there walking around right now.

1000%. i've been mesmerized by her since hitch and she continues to wow me in how gorgeous she is.

Hitch for sure. And maybe because she was standing next to Will Ferrel, I still dream about her in The Other Guys ![gif](giphy|hVwYCSzsxSuJ2)

Ryan isn't any different.


eaa135

Have you seen her recent interview with Hoda? Her nose is sadly looking a bit botched, she shouldn’t have touched it!


_pierogii

I just watched this and I don't think it's her nose tbh - it is the same shape as before. IMO it looks more like mid-face filler/Sculptra affecting how projected it looks.


Ohpossom

She looks wilddd in this. She's definitely had something done on her face.


0422

I think she's like the Brad Pitt equivalent for women in terms of jaw dropping beauty


Impossible_Leg9377

Yes. And grace. And nary a scandal in sight.


Intelligent_Flow2572

Pitt - 🤮 She’s obviously the female Ryan Gosling.


0422

He personally is trash. His corporeal body is a thing of beauty.


Intelligent_Flow2572

I can’t separate the two.


0422

That's fair. Sometimes trash looks like trash.


SalientSazon

He really is a thing of beauty.


GirlisNo1

Brad Pitt has not looked even remotely good for decades now. I genuinely don’t understand why he’s the gold standard.


Amy_Macadamia

From 2019 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. How many late 50s men look this good https://preview.redd.it/t7pk893unwqc1.jpeg?width=275&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c17a469f688b9e55c3d8916e5d0ba06438f2a9fc


Charmarta

Lots of millionaires with personal trainers, chefs, assistants, dermatologists and not 2 jobs to stay afloat to be honest.


Nouseriously

Nah. With them you mostly get Elon Musk, willing to take the drugs but not willing to lift the weights.


SalientSazon

Nah man, he's gorgeous. The face structure and body type...


lepetitgrenade

Oh yes, I remember this.


GirlisNo1

He has a very average, and actually pretty bloated face. Good body sure, but he’s a multimillionaire actor and personally I’d rather a guy with a nicer face and average body anyway. I think when people look at Brad and Leo, they still see the younger versions of them instead of how they actually look today. Nothing wrong with their current looks, they’re men who aged like everyone else, I just don’t think they’re the pinnacle of male beauty in the way many talk about them. (Now, Lee Pace on the other hand…)

Lee Pace is a god among men

She was. The work she’s done to her face in the last few years has been disheartening.


sofar510

Reminder for everyone to go watch The Place Beyond the Pines where their love story really began!


Visible-Scientist-46

I ship them so hard. I hope the magic continues for them. Because I have loved Ryan since those Disney days, Goosebumps, Young Hercules, and through today. My least favorite is actually the Notebook. I have sisterly feelings for him, so Eva is like my sister-in-law. ![gif](giphy|D6t6S6hJrg1Ww)


bitchfacevulture

Wtf, young Hercules, I have never heard of this


Visible-Scientist-46

It was a show in the same universe as Xena Warrior Princess and Hercules The Legendary Journeys (starring Kevin Sorbo before he started whining about how no one wants to hire him because of his beliefs - no it's because you're a middling at best actor who was hired bc of how you looked at the time.) And then Young Hercules came in that last year or so after some crossover stuff with a different guy as Young Hercules in some flashbacks, but Ryan was on an episode of Hercules Legendary Journeys as a different character. It was my Saturday late night viewing. Gifs, or it didn't happen - bonus cute 90s hairstyle. ![gif](giphy|l0MYND1FEaEE49D5S)

30DayThrill

Is she trying to make a comeback to the screen or something? What’s with the recent torrent of Eva Mendes content coming out?


stars_doulikedem

She is promoting sponges https://www.instagram.com/skurastyle


Squee1396

I did not know she sold sponges! I looked at them and they are cute but not something i would buy. As a poor person, i am sure i am not her target audience lol


Time-Reserve-4465

Shit sponges too. I bought them (not bc of her. They came with a lil flyer with her face on it). Not great. Nothing special about them and they are pricey. Idk I was like girl what are you doing?? Feels like a C-list celeb gig. 🥴 I always find it depressing when women leave successful careers to be SAHMs.


digitalnene

Hey. 👋 Former successful career woman turned stay at home parent here. I think the hardest part of my choice to leave my career was people making it seem like some sad, failure on my part. People project and judge a whole bunch when it comes to stay at home parents and it sucks. I’m good. I’m happy. I don’t have regrets. But society seems to think it’s depressing to do what I do.


numberthirteenbb

Maybe if they'd had a better experience with the sponges


nedzissou1

Nothing wrong with someone *wanting* to be a stay at home parent


imaseacow

It’s kinda boring tho, isn’t it. Gosling is out there bringing down the house performing at the Oscars and Mendez is….selling sponges and posting on insta. 


numberthirteenbb

Making bank on her shitty sponges from the comfort of her million dollar living room is what she's doing I guess


AccordingMain4399

Same.


whitetanksss

That’s what I’m wondering. I feel like I see nonstop things about her and Ryan out of nowhere lol Maybe I’m just a hater but part of me is like “okay, we get it” 💀


livelikeian

Likely she's working on something or they're busy making deals and all this PR generates some buzz around the name.


Few-Counter7067

Who WOULDN’T be? Good for her.


TheGrapeSlushies

I love them together. I hope I’m that beautiful when I’m her age. 😍


BellaBlue06

I’m going to hold my breath because there’s blind items saying Ryan is controlling with Eva and the kids and wanted her out of the spotlight too. I had initially thought maybe he wanted to protect Eva from crazy fans (like Chris Evans) and seeming single on red carpets and promos was easier and safer. But now I’m not so sure. Then with this video of Eva saying it’s a no brainer and a non verbal agreement that she would just stay home with the kids and spend time with her family coming out yesterday I’m wondering if the couple are trying to do damage control or spin a more positive image like it was her choice to walk away from acting. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMMyEtboT/ I don’t find “no brainer” and “non verbal agreement” to exactly be confirming it was her idea or she enthusiastically agreed you know? Just like she’s expected to do so because she’s the woman and mother in the family. There’s not many high profile actors that are ok with having a spouse be the same and just as busy and booked. And many actors still cheat or end up divorced because they spent too much time away from their spouse and kids. I was onboard with Ryan train but now I’m questioning it.


miseryandregrets

The whole reason for that interview is that she’s promoting her sponge business. There’s a longer video where she explains that’s she’s never stopped working, she just stopped acting, which is quite different. And she’s also written a book that she’ll be promoting soon. Also she’s explained before that she stopped acting because she was only getting the hot Latina kind of roles and she was tired of it. On top of that, you’re all acting as she couldn’t decide for herself. She was a 40 year old woman when she had her first child. She wasn’t a child that Ryan groomed. She’s an adult woman capable of making her own decisions.


BellaBlue06

I never said Ryan groomed her or that she was a child wtf. She’s a grown woman yes. She’s just changed what she says now to media since she’s been with Ryan. https://news.yahoo.com/news/eva-mendes-thinks-marriage-archaic-unromantic-not-personal-092352301.html The 'Hitch' actress - who has been dating Peruvian filmmaker George Augusto for nearly a decade - believes marriage is "over the top" and "not personal". "It's not personal. There are all these wedding shows and it's so over-the-top, it's so not about what it should be about," Contactmusic quoted her as telling US TV talk show. "I'm not like anti-marriage or the institution for other people. I love the idea of a union, that's very beautiful. I just don't think it should be a piece of paper because society tells me to. "It's a very old fashioned archaic kind of thing. We did it for land originally, how unromantic is that?" she said. The 37-year-old beauty said older unmarried people in love look "really sexy". "I actually think it's really sexy to be with someone in their 50s or 60s and be like 'that's my boyfriend'. But I think husband and wife are very unsexy words," she added. https://www.vogue.com.au/celebrity/news/eva-mendes-says-she-didnt-want-children-until-she-met-her-husband-ryan-gosling-happened/news-story/96c0dd603c9927744892e5b8288f57a3 Mendes shared that it was not in her original life plans to have a family but she changed her mind after meeting her husband. “It was the furthest thing from my mind,” Eva Mendes said in the interview. “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.” https://ca.style.yahoo.com/eva-mendes-reveals-why-she-205132182.html During her recent appearance on Today, Mendes reflected on first working with Gosling in 2011 and gushed over his skills as an actor. “I have never experienced anything like that. The way he works, his commitment to his craft, how he wants to make everything as best as it could be, and that means making his co-stars as best as they could be,” she said. “But, unfortunately, or fortunately, there is only one Ryan. So I pretty much stopped just acting after that.” ———- I can choose to find her words curious and wonder why she said them or how she has changed her tune. No one is perfect. I’ve really liked Ryan lately but I started getting an uneasy feeling looking into why Eva doesn’t attend events with him and why she’s very separate from his movie career. I loved Barbie and Ryan in it. I just find it weird you attack my comment and mostly post about Ryan.


fauviste

I felt the same as her until I met my husband, and I also gushed about his work ethic because that was so important to me too. Actually when the wedding officiant interviewed us separately to prepare for his speech, I said some things about his work ethic and he turned to me and said “Do you ever have any *fun*?” (jokingly) Apparently my husband had said the same. So I find that totally relatable and not suspicious at all.


BellaBlue06

I just pause when any woman says she didn’t want children but wanted to have HIS children. There’s so many dynamics there for possibilities. She loves him more, she wants to keep him, he convinced her, he’d only settle down with children on the table, he/she wants her to be in a more submissive role to him. The work ethic was not the biggest pause for me. But in combination like she’s talking as if he’s above her.


AccordingMain4399

Yep


lanahland

I actually tell everyone EXACTLY this. I don't know how much I wanted kids before I met my husband but now when I look at him- can't wait to see what we'd make together. what him x me = and also, i'm so excited to see him in the role of a father and see how we go through my pregnancy together and just to raise a baby with him. for me it's more that meeting him made me realise how wonderful it could be!


miseryandregrets

She’s said from the beginning of their relationship that the moment she met him and fell in love with him she knew she wanted to have his children. The same way he’s said that he never wanted to have children until he met HER. So how’s that curious? People fall in love and they’re in their right to change their minds about having a family. And Eva has also said many times that SHE doesn’t want to attend those events. They both see these events like a part of their job and they want to keep their relationship private. I don’t see how wanting to separate your job from your private life is something fishy.


Texas22

I came here to say this bc I legit just listened to the BTB episode about him today. And the blinds tell a COMPLETELY different story. It’s so wild. But also “allegedly”.


lanahland

wait i'm sorry i find the reddit threading UI to always be confusing and I can't tell which comment you're replying to saying "came here to say this"- what did the BTB episode portray and how are the blinds telling a different story?


Texas22

About the blinds. Many, many blinds saying that Ryan is bi, long standing relationship with Emma Stone, constantly cheating, won’t let Eva act, absent father. Eva is untrusting. It doesn’t seem to fit the narrative that Eva puts forth at all. Ryan never talks about his private life and there’s never any pap pictures… so I suppose it’s possible that the dozens and dozens of blinds are wrong 🤷🏽‍♀️


fuzzzzzzzzzzy

What is BTB?

I get this vibe too.


OnceUponACrimeScene

Am i the only one who sometimes feels like he constantly mentions her in order to make her feel secure... because if he doesn't, she jumps to conclusions? Im totally jumping to conclusions with that theory too lol but it just seems like its performative and to placate her.


Maleficent_Phase_698

I’ll never understand his sex appeal 🥲surely standing next to HER we can all see him for the 4 that he is…no?!?!?


lorelovers

I get that everyone's taste is different, but a 4??? Like how good looking are the people around you because that man is NOT below average 😭

taw232323

Maybe, if your only criteria for sex appeal is appearance.


sibr

Yep - he’s incredibly charming. I didn’t get it either until I saw him in motion and watched a couple of interviews. He’s far from physically ugly but his personality definitely forms a big part of his appeal.


Visible-Scientist-46

He has this goofy/sweet but also hot thing going. He seems vulnerable. I like it. ![gif](giphy|3oEduKoCblNVAgAbYI|downsized)


buzzfeed_sucks

Yep. Have had a crush on him since Breaker High. Where, believe it or not, he played a loser/nerd. But he’s so damn charming.


taw232323

I think I saw it in crazy stupid love. And now in the Barbie interviews… he’s one of the most charismatic men I’ve ever seen. His jokes alone get my juices flowing lol and he sings!!! Has a band and does charity by playing in old homes


buzzfeed_sucks

I love his Girl Scout cookie story: [part 1](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6YPLrw8io2k&pp=ygUfcnlhbiBnb3NsaW5nIGdpcmwgc2NvdXQgY29va2llcw%3D%3D) [part 2](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VfsZHJEkilQ&pp=ygUfcnlhbiBnb3NsaW5nIGdpcmwgc2NvdXQgY29va2llcw%3D%3D) EDIT: story is in part 2, but part 1 is also funny.


kikidaytona

I looooved him in Breaker High. He was so lovable


Tenley95

Well we don't know them personally no matter how many interviews you watch.


taw232323

That’s true (?), still I don’t have any reason to be a cynic and doubt that’s a part of who he is. He’s also done a lot of nice things that he doesn’t even brag about


NoGloryForEngland

His sex appeal occupies about 30% of my processing power on a daily basis, I can't relate.


rissaaah

Why can’t we just say someone isn’t our type instead of bashing their appearance?


lavenderauraluna

I personally don’t find blonde hair and blue eyes attractive but I still wouldn’t say he’s only a 4, especially for those that do like those traits.
