Eva Mendes gives rare look at her and Ryan Gosling’s U.K. life after leaving Hollywood

Eva Mendes is sharing a glimpse into life in the U.K.

The actress, 51, who shares daughters Esmeralda, 11, and Amada, 9, with Ryan Gosling, posted an Instagram video on Wednesday of herself walking in her yard alongside the family’s two dogs.

“When you’re testing how your fit walks but the important things in life remind you how silly it all is.
Lucho & Magic por vida,” Mendes, who donned a baby blue sweater and matching skirt, wrote.

Days earlier, fans got a glimpse of her and Gosling’s house as she walked out of the front door of their red brick home.

In the video, Mendes was deciding whether to wear her jacket or the “Barbie” star’s.

She captioned the post, “Baby, it’s cold outside The shacket or my man’s jacket?”

Mendes and Gosling, 45, recently moved across the pond while the “Fall Guy” actor shoots the 2027 “Star Wars” film “Starfighter.”

Gosling and Mendes first met in 2011 while starring in the crime thriller “The Place Beyond the Pines.”

The couple has continued to keep their relationship out of the public eye in the years since.

“I don’t talk about Ryan and all the wonderful things he does as a father because I keep that part private,” Mendes shared in a 2020 social media post. “I feel it’s best that I continue to disclose what I’m comfortable with but not involve him or my kids too much.

“It’s not about being cagey or weird, it’s just about staying private in a public space. Does that make sense? Hope so. Because this is my honest answer.”

Two years later, in 2022, Mendes and Gosling sparked marriage rumors after the ” Training Day” actress was seen with a tattoo that included the “La La Land” star’s last name.

Despite not confirming the union, Gosling gushed over his other half while talking to EXTRA in 2024.

“She is with the girls and when she works, I stay home with the girls too. I couldn’t be here without her,” he said in April of that year. “She has really become the best acting coach I have ever had. It’s endless how much she helps me.”

While Mendes is helping out her partner with his acting skills, she herself may never jump back in front of a screen.

She stepped away from acting over 10 years ago to raise her daughters.

“I don’t know. If there — you know — if there’s interesting roles,” Mendes confessed on “Good Morning America” in 2024.

“I left at a time where it was also like… 10 years ago, I kinda felt like I did it, ya know?” she continued. “I just worked with Ryan Gosling, who’s, like, the best. And I had such a — I don’t know — it was such a high off my career to work with him and what we created together that I was like, ‘This is a good time to just Seinfeld it and just walk out.’”

“So, who knows?” quipped Mendes.

Her last acting credit was in 2014’s “Lost River,” which was written and directed by Gosling.

Although Mendes is proud to have gone out on a high, her children aren’t aware of their mom’s catalog.

In 2024, she revealed that Esmeralda and Amada have never seen any of her movies.

“They don’t care,” Mendes said while on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” at the time. “This was about a year ago. I tried to show them a scene from ‘Hitch’ that I was actually proud of because I’m scared of deep, dark water. I had to do this physical comedy stunt thing in the Hudson [River]. I was so scared. So I faced a fear that day and I did this stunt, and I was proud of it.”

“One time, one of my girls was scared and I’m like, ‘Ooh, opportunity to show off,’” she explained. “I played it for them and I was like, ‘This is Mama facing her fear.’”

But the girls “were not impressed at all” after seeing a clip of Mendes and Will Smith’s 2005 movie.

“They were just like, ‘OK, cool, Mama, can we go outside?’” she recalled. “They didn’t care!”
