Joining them in Paris were there daughters, Esmeralda Amada, 9, and Amada Lee, 8.
Mendes and Gosling have kept their family life out of the spotlight, with Mendes quitting acting to be a mom.
“It was like a no-brainer,” Mendes told Today in March about her decision to step away from acting. “I'm so lucky if I could have this time with my children.”
However, Mendes has not quit working all together, she has taken on projects that allow her to be close to her kids, such as her Skura Style household product line.
“It was almost like a non-verbal agreement that it was like, 'OK, he's going to work and I'm going to work. I'm just going to work here,'” Mendes said of her relationship with Gosling. “He went and he did his job. He just happens to be really good at his job.”
But being an A-list movie star does not stop Gosling from taking the lead in raising their daughters at times. The “Barbie” star “held down the fort” when Mendes attended Milan Fashion Week for the first time since becoming a mother earlier this year, according to E! News.
“La Dolce Evita made possible by…And by my man for holding down the fort at home so I could live the Dolce Evita for a couple days,” Mendes wrote to Instagram at the time.
A Rare Public Appearance
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes’ outing at the 2024 Paris Olympics marked their first joint appearance at a public event in almost a decade. The couple have largely kept their relationship and family life private, rarely being photographed together in recent years.
The “Barbie” actor and his longtime partner were spotted at the women’s gymnastics uneven bars final at Bercy Stadium, where Team USA gymnast Suni Lee won the bronze medal. Gosling and Mendes were also seen at the Equestrian Dressage Individual Grand Prix Freestyle event at Chateau de Versailles, where Germany’s Jessica von Bredow-Werndl took home the gold medal.
Eva Mendes’ Decision to Step Back from Acting
In recent years, Mendes has stepped back from acting to focus on raising her daughters, a decision she has described as a “no-brainer.” In a March interview with “Today,” Mendes explained that she wanted to be present for her daughters’ childhood and that her relationship with Gosling was built on a mutual understanding that she would focus on raising their family.
However, Mendes has not entirely abandoned her career. She has taken on projects that allow her to be close to her children, such as her Skura Style household product line.
Ryan Gosling's Role as a Dad
Gosling has also been supportive of Mendes’ decision to prioritize her family. In an interview with E! News, Mendes shared that Gosling “held down the fort” at home when she attended Milan Fashion Week for the first time since becoming a mother earlier this year.
The couple’s decision to keep their family life out of the spotlight has made their rare public appearances, like their outing at the Olympics, all the more special. It’s a reminder that even the most private of celebrities enjoy a good family outing now and then.
