Eva Mendes gave a rare peek into how she and Ryan Gosling protect their relationship, even with two kids and busy schedules. The long-term couple has stood the test of time, and part of it involves keeping their private life mostly off-limits. However, Mendes says they still make time for regular date nights. The actor clarified that they do not spend those nights talking about work or parenting logistics.
Eva Mendes shares what she and Ryan Gosling do to keep the spark alive
In an interview with PEOPLE for “One Last Thing,” Eva Mendes said she and Ryan Gosling stay committed to carving out time together while raising their daughters, Esmeralda and Amada. She told the outlet, “Yeah, we do have date nights regularly.”
When the interviewer asked what those nights look like, Mendes answered with a laugh, mentioning, “All the unmentionables,” without spelling it out further. But she did add that their version of romance also includes something refreshingly normal, telling PEOPLE, “I don’t know what else to say. We like movies and we like going to the movies so we try to keep that alive.”
Additionally, Mendes addressed what happens when they go out in public, since sightings of the couple remain rare. She revealed that the attention does not usually become a problem, saying, “People are usually cool,” while suggesting that they have learned to keep a low profile when they want to. As such, she admitted, “If you want attention, you go to certain places, and if you don’t, you know where to go.” And she revealed, “We do the latter.”
The comments fit the way Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have handled their relationship for years, by protecting their family and sharing only what they choose to share.
And while Mendes kept the details of those “unmentionables” to herself, her point came through clearly. Date nights still matter to the couple, and the spark does not require a grand plan; sometimes it is a movie and a little privacy.
