They’ve been together for over 12 years, but that doesn’t mean a photo of the pair is easy to come by.
Eva Mendes has opened up about the unique reason she and longtime partner Ryan Gosling don’t appear on red carpets together.
The mother-of-two, who shares daughters Esmeralda, eight, and Amada, six, with the ‘Barbie’ actor cherishes her privacy so much that she refuses to let the cameras see her and Gosling together.
After sharing an Instagram clip from the couple’s first movie together, ‘The Place Beyond The Pines,’ during which they began an offbeat romance in 2012, Mendes was asked why she wasn’t posting more snaps with the actor. 42 years old.
“What a cool comment, thank you,” Mendes, 49, wrote in response to a fan who wanted her to appear on the red carpet for Gosling’s new “Barbie” movie. “But we don’t do these things together.”
“Like these photos I posted, I’m only comfortable posting them because they’re already out there,” she added.
In a follow-up comment to the same post, Mendes added that she only appeared on the red carpet once with her beau.
“Oh wait — for those who might catch me ‘lying’ — we’ve only been together on the red carpet once while promoting this movie,” she noted.
When asked to clarify why she didn’t feel comfortable posting pictures of the couple together, she wrote: ‘By ‘uncomfortable’ I mean exposing our very private lives that we appreciate. I’m still dying to do another movie with him…♥️.
Mendes seemingly confirmed that she and Gosling secretly got married in an interview last year, when she referred to the actor as a “husband.”
While promoting the Ronald McDonald House charity on ‘Today Australia’ in November 2022, the ‘Training Day’ star was asked about her time Down Under.
“I love it here,” the mother-of-two said. “Everyone is amazing, everyone’s welcoming us, it’s been so beautiful. My husband Ryan is here…and our kids are here, we’re having a great time.

That same month, she teased the subtle announcement by posting a very special tattoo tribute to Gosling.
The “Hitch” actress took to Instagram to show off a tattoo on her inner wrist that read “de gosling.”
In Hispanic culture, women may add “de” – or “de” – to their surname after marrying to join both nicknames.
