Ryan & Eva’s public bust-up!
The couple’s tense fight has shed light on years of feuding
They are fiercely protective of their privacy, but last week Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling, who share daughters Esmeralda, who turns six this week, and Amada, four, took to the streets of Los Angeles to have a public spat!
Looking tired and tense, Eva, who retired from acting in 2014, appeared hostile as Ryan, 39, drove the family of four around town.
Now, a well-placed insider tells Woman’s Day that Eva’s reclusive nature has caused simmering tensions between the pair, who are at breaking point. “Eva hates being out and very rarely joins Ryan anywhere, so the fact she was seen in public with him looking openly hostile is a huge deal,” explains the source.
According to the insider, Eva, 46, feels “uncomfortable” when she’s away from home, which has caused her to grow quite protective of Ryan.
“Whenever Ryan goes out to work or socialise, she bombards him with texts and phone calls, checking up on him until he comes home, which he’s tried to tolerate but it does get to him,” says the insider.
What’s more, the Miamiborn actress is said to have taken issue with Ryan’s “heartthrob” status.
“She gets a bee in her bonnet over his friendships with his leading ladies, and none more so than Emma Stone, who he loves working with,” says the source.
Ryan and Emma starred opposite each other in the romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love and crime flick Gangster Squad before reuniting as love interests in the critically acclaimed
La La Land in 2016.
“They’re great pals but Eva always accuses him of wanting more from her, or worse, of something happening between them on set. Of course it didn’t, but try telling Eva that when she’s at the depth of one of her bouts of insecurity,” adds the source. “Eva often goes for the jugular when they fight by claiming she gave up her career to be mum to their daughters. She’s struggling and he tries to be sympathetic, but he admits it wears him down at times.”
