Eva Mendes made this admission when she was profiled by Women's Magazine. In the publication, the film actress admits that a lot of things changed for her these past few years — most particularly since she began dating Ryan Gosling back in 2011 and they started raising a family not long after the fact. The stars first grew acquainted when they both worked on 2012's underrated The Place Beyond The Pines, and it was only a year-and-a-half into their relationship that they welcomed their first daughter, Esmeralda, into the world. While motherhood was once "the furthest thing" on the celebrity's mind, Eva Mendes was soon given a new outlook.
