Eva Mendes recently celebrated her 50th birthday in March, and it was nothing short of spectacular. While marking this significant milestone, Mendes was showered with love and affection by her partner, actor Ryan Gosling. According to an exclusive source shared with PEOPLE Magazine, Gosling went above and beyond to ensure that Mendes’s birthday was a truly special occasion.
The source revealed, “She seemed very comfortable turning 50. Ryan constantly tells her she’s beautiful. He made her birthday very special.” Such gestures of genuine admiration and appreciation undoubtedly contributed to making Mendes feel cherished and loved on her special day.
Gosling and Mendes, who have been in a relationship for several years, share a beautiful bond that extends beyond the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Despite their busy schedules, the couple prioritizes supporting each other’s passions and cherishing quality family time with their two daughters, Esmeralda Amada and Amada Lee.
Describing their relationship, the source highlighted, “Eva and Ryan are truly such a happy couple. They’re very supportive of each other’s passions. They’re also grateful for the financial freedom their work gives them, and they’re all about family time.” Their ability to balance their personal and professional lives exemplifies their commitment to nurturing a strong and fulfilling partnership.
Gosling and Mendes’s romance blossomed on the set of the 2012 film “The Place Beyond the Pines,” and since then, their love has only deepened. Gosling publicly expressed his adoration for Mendes during his acceptance speech at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival earlier this year, where he credited her and their children for making his life a dream come true.
Reflecting on their dynamic, Mendes recently shared her decision to prioritize her role as a mother while Gosling continued to pursue his acting career. She explained, “It was like a no-brainer. I’m so lucky if I could have this time with my children.” Mendes, who still engages in work but prefers to avoid acting due to its demanding nature, emphasized the importance of being present for her family.
Their mutual understanding and unwavering support for each other’s endeavors underscore the strength of their relationship. Mendes’s choice to focus on raising their children while Gosling pursued his passion demonstrates their shared commitment to creating a harmonious and fulfilling life together.
As Gosling continues to captivate audiences with his talent on the screen, and Mendes remains dedicated to her family and other ventures, their love story serves as a heartwarming reminder of the power of love, support, and genuine affection in nurturing a lasting and meaningful relationship.
