Eva Mendes’s relationship with Ryan Gosling has been said to have survived the years while still going stronger with time because of how much the two have tried to put themselves as the emphasis of the relationship instead of trying to show off for the media.

By then, the pregnancy had already advanced and so in September, Eva gave birth to their daughter, Esmeralda Amada. In April 2016, Amada Lee Gosling, their second daughter was born.
