How Long Have Eva Mendes And Ryan Gosling Dated?
Eva and Ryan are one of the in for the long-haul couples in Hollywood. Interest first sparked between them in 2011 when Ryan suggested Derek Cianfrance, the director of ‘The Place Beyond The Pines’, to cast Eva as Romina, Ryan’s love interest in the film. Later that year Ryan and Eva were seen in Disneyland walking hand in hand. Us Weekly wrote, “Eva was skipping around like a little girl… She would lean into him, and she held his arm the entire time.” In October, they were spotted sharing an intimate kiss in their car while driving to Hollywood. Things seemed to be getting serious for the two as they spent Thanksgiving in Paris.
In June 2012, Eva accompanied Ryan to his mother’s graduation at Brock University, Canada. The duo was very discrete about their appearance. The two made their first appearance on the red carpet to promote their film at the Toronto Film Festival and in the words of Eva they were trying to be “very professional”.
In 2014, they teamed up again for their next project ‘Lost River‘. However this time the actress was more affectionate about her experience filming with Ryan. On Oprah Daily, she shared, “Being in the film Lost River was nothing short of a magical experience. I would love to either act opposite him again or be directed by him at some point. I just love working with him. In a career of 20-plus years, to have my two most incredible creative experiences be with him, of course, I’d want a third.”
The same year, the couple welcomed their first daughter, Esmerelda into the world. Two years later, their second daughter Amanda was born. Ryan said in a heartwarming answer that the quality he looks for in a woman is Eva Mendes. On Good Morning America Ryan shared his experience as a family man: “It’s Heaven. It’s like walking through a field of flowers every day. I live with angels.” Eva and Ryan are the best examples of action speaking louder than words. Their commitment to each other has been an inspiration.

What Does Eva’s New Tattoo Mean?
On Tuesday, Eva was seen in her post wearing a cream-yellow body con with blue-black patterned headwear. With her right arm raised up to her face, covering her nose she sported her brand-new tattoo. A few inches below her wrist could be seen the inked words “de Gosling”. In literal translation, the phrase means Gosling’s, belonging to the Goslings. It is a custom among Spanish women to add “de” along with their husband’s last name to their maiden name. Is Eva making her marriage to Ryan official? It could easily be another loving tribute to Ryan and there have been many between the couple before.
This cryptic post has sent media in head-scratching hunches and guesses. This wouldn’t be the first time the couple is rumored to be married. In 2016, Us Weekly reported that Ryan and Eva had tied the knot in secret but was deemed false. Meanwhile, fans have been pouring with love and praise in the comment section, tagging them as “couple goals”.
