Swoon alert: Ryan Gosling gushes about partner Eva Mendes and their baby. The famously private actor issues a rare statement about his baby mama and child at the SXSW Music, Film and Interactive Festival in Austin, Texas last Friday. The heartthrob was there to promote a film he directed, Lost River, which Mendes is a part of.
"I really like working with my friends; I love all of these people," Gosling said in front of the large crowd, and Guillermo Del Toro cheekily quipped, "You have a baby with one of them!"
"I do," Gosling replied without missing a beat. Then he added. "I have lots of complicated, amazing women in my life, and that's increasing."
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling welcomed their first baby back in September. They named her Esmeralda, and the first-time parents are notorious for being tight-lipped on the subject of their new family.
There must be a lot of women wishing they were Eva Mendes right now with Ryan Gosling and an adorable baby at their side. Being Hollywood A-Listers is not ideal for raising a small child though, as Mendes shares with fashion magazine Violet Grey. "Whether we like it or not, privacy is going to be very difficult for Esmeralda. I think it's unfair but that's our reality. So Ryan and I decided early on to give her as much privacy as we could."
The trio are rarely seen out and about, although was snapped earlier this week celebrating Mendes' birthday. The 41 year-old Eva Mendes looked strikingly beautiful and loved-up with Ryan Gosling and their baby.
The new mom is another year older, but she has never looked better and will be flaunting her post-baby bod in the April issue of Women's Health. In it Eva Mendes talks about the joy of having her own family with Ryan Gosling and her baby. "I'm actually enjoying the sleepless nights because it's bonding with my little girl," she said.
