Since 2011, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes have been in a relationship, and ever since then, it has been one of the most talked-about relationships in the entertainment industry. On the set of “The Land Beyond the Pines,” where they were both working, the two actors had their first meeting, and ever since then, they have been inseparable.

Both Ryan and Mendes are very reserved when it comes to the details of their personal life, and they almost never discuss their relationship in public. Nonetheless, it is abundantly evident from the limited number of interviews that they have participated in that they have a profound connection with one another that has only gotten deeper with the passage of time.

They both have an equal amount of affection for their two children, Esmeralda, 8, and Amada, 6, and this is one of the most important reasons for the longevity of their relationship. Both Ryan and Mendes have discussed the profound impact that having children has had on their life and how it has strengthened their relationship with one another. It is clear that they place their family ahead of anything else in their lives because of the manner in which they talk about both of their girls and one other.

In addition to the love they have for their children, Ryan and Mendes both have a strong devotion to their art as actors as well as a strong enthusiasm for performing. They both have prosperous jobs, and over the course of their partnership, they have always shown support for one another’s endeavors.

Ryan and Mendes seem to have a rather low-key existence, preferring to spend time at home with their family rather than attending high-profile events. This is despite the fact that Ryan and Mendes are both A-list celebrities. They have made the conscious decision to concentrate on their love for each other and their family rather than seeking attention or validation from the media. As a result, they have been successful in keeping their relationship out of the public glare for the most part.

In spite of the challenges that come with popularity, Ryan and Mendes have been able to keep their relationship intact and have developed a life together that is based on love and respect for one another.

While though Ryan, 42, and Mendes, 48, choose to keep many aspects of their personal life secret, the depth of their love for one another shines through in the way that they talk about their children and the way that they encourage one other in their professional endeavors. Ryan’s life has been radically revolutionized by being a parent. He said to GQ:

“Time, in general, is something that occupies a lot of my thoughts at the moment. Since my children are maturing at such a rapid rate, I now have to keep a closer watch on the time than I ever did before.

In addition to this, he was quoted as saying, “I’m like a parent first, and part of the motivation for shooting the film (The Gray Man) was this chance for us to travel to these amazing locations and be there with my kids.”

In the meanwhile, Mendes has responded to rumors that she gave up acting entirely to focus on her role as a full-time mother. In an Instagram post, she revealed the following:

“I never ceased acting. … I had a strong desire to remain at home with my children, and thankfully, my other business endeavors gave me more flexibility in that regard than acting ever could.

She is a self-proclaimed clean freak, and as a result, she enjoys the brand of cleaning goods that was started by a woman. As a result, she became a co-owner of a firm that was founded by a woman and creates cleaning products.

“Life is so full of craziness. But if there’s one thing I have complete command over, it’s my home and my kitchen. So, I find that doing the dishes may be a kind of meditation for me. That is more complicated than just clearing up the mess. That sheds a lot of light on the situation for me. According to what she told People, “a clean sink signifies a clear mind for me.”

She also said that Ryan isn’t afraid of the challenges that come along with becoming a father. Mendes responded to Today’s inquiry about whether or not he helps out around the house by doing duties like as changing diapers for his children by saying, “I mean, that’s a given these days.” I don’t believe that can be considered a benefit any more.”

It turns out that Ryan does the majority of the cooking at home, while Mendes is in charge of cleaning up. Mendes told People the following:

“The chef’s name is Ryan. He has an amazing talent in the kitchen. “You cook, I clean” strikes me as the kind of arrangement that strikes a very wonderful balance. And it works well for us.”

She went into more detail about Ryan’s abilities to Forbes, saying, “I’m not an exceptional chef — I leave that to Ryan. That there are no gender-specific responsibilities that one is required to take on and that we are partners in this and that we are all partners in this, not just Ryan and I, but also our children as well, is something that I hope this demonstrates to my daughters. Every day is a collaborative effort by the team.”

Due to the fact that they do not employ any aid, the couple is forced to exercise a high level of responsibility while caring for the children. According to Hello!, Mendes was quoted as saying to InStyle, “I don’t have a babysitter because I’m a really hands-on parent.” I force myself to go on regardless of how exhausted I feel.

They came to the conclusion that it was in their children’s best interest to be educated at home due to the fact that the celebrities are often traveling. Ryan said with GQ that his mother’s homeschooling was “the best person to seek for assistance when we needed it” since “it truly helped turn things around for me” when he was being educated by her in their own house.

Mendes expressed regret that teaching was not her strong suit. According to Elle, she told The Daily Telegraph that “I don’t do the home-schooling myself because I’ve tried it and it’s not one of my talents.” This is why she does not teach her children at home. She went on to say that

We spend a lot of time away from home, but one of my guiding principles is that a family should make every effort to remain together no matter where they are or what they are doing. Particularly while the children are still quite little. We are fortunate enough to travel with someone who can continue their education at this stage, and when we do so, we make an effort to make the most of the location in which we find ourselves.
