Eva didn’t want kids until she met Gosling

Actress Eva Mendes recently revealed that she never envisioned becoming a mother until she fell in love with Canadian actor Ryan Gosling. Mendes and Gosling have been together since meeting on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011 and have since welcomed two daughters— six- year- old Esmeralda and four- year- old Amada.

Mendes admitted in an interview with Nova 96.9’ s Fitzy& Wippa: “I never wanted babies before until I fell in love with Ryan, and it kind of worked out to where Iwas 40 and having my first baby. I think Iwas 42 for the second one, so it worked out in thatway that I had a career and then I changemy focus tomy family.”

During the conversation, the 2 Fast 2 Furious star also declared that since her children are getting older, she thinks she’s “definitely going back” to acting after a six- year hiatus.

Mendes told the radio station: “Iam[ considering acting] nowthat [ my kids] getting a bit older, but I really feel like I never want to send the wrong message to youngwomen out there. It’s not an either/ or situation.”

Mendes continued: “Iwas lucky enough towork my bum off for 20 years.”

“I feel like it’s time,” she said of returning to the big screen.

The mom of two admitted, “the list is getting shorter and shorter of stuff that I’d do. I don’t want to do anything violent. I don’t want to do something risque. I think the only thing that’s left is Disney!”

Mendes was last seen in Lost River, which Gosling directed in 2014. Just days before her radio interview, the actress echoed her sentiments that she hasn’t found roomto balance work and motherhood. —
