Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling met in 2011 while filming The Place Beyond the Pines and have not parted since then. Three years later, their daughter Esmeralda was born, and two more years later, baby Amanda was born. The couple leads a rather closed lifestyle - you won't find thousands of Instagram photos or frequent interviews. Because of this, the press constantly "divorces" Ryan and Eve. But they are still together. What's the secret to a happy relationship?

At the beginning of the novel, the couple's relationship was not like the sweet cooing of lovers, but rather like the show "The Survivor". Eve and Ryan fought and even fought. Mendes tried to control Gosling's every move - reading text messages, checking emails and making scenes of jealousy in public places. Ryan said she had an unbearable personality. None of the couple's acquaintances believed in this relationship, considering it a whim. Despite the disappointing forecasts, Ryan and Eva managed to find a compromise and have been happy together for seven years (read quotes from famous men about relationships here).
The couple is in no hurry to formalize the relationship, despite the presence of two children. Although two years ago, rumors began to circulate that they were secretly married.
“Marriage is vulgar. I think if someone in their 50s can claim to have a girlfriend or boyfriend, that sounds great. This kind of relationship gives you a sense of freedom, and you also feel like you have to be competitive and keep fit. And if you got married - that's it. They sat down on the sofa and grew their bellies! " - Ryan admitted in an interview.
Eve is of the same opinion:
"I think it's very sexy when at 50 or 60 you can call your lover a boyfriend."
And one of the most beautiful women on the planet is sure that every woman should be a "geisha" for her man.
“Actually, I am independent, but sometimes I also want to serve a man. And in my appearance you can’t say that I am a little geisha.”

In 2017, news broke in the press that Mendes and Gosling had parted ways. According to rumors, the reason for the separation was Eva's jealousy of Ryan's partner in the film "La La Land" Emma Stone. Whether there really was a crisis - no one knows. Ryan says that he doesn't need anyone but Mendes:
“This is Eva Mendes. I'm not looking for anyone else. I know that I am next to the person with whom I should be."
At the 2017 Golden Globe Awards, after winning the Best Actor in a Musical nomination, Gosling made a very touching speech to his wife:
“While I sang, danced, played the piano and had an incredible experience, my beloved raised our daughter, was pregnant with her second child, and tried to help her brother overcome cancer. Darling, thank you for everything!"
This is who you need to take an example from! A crisis in a relationship is not a reason for parting (by the way, Ryan and Eve broke up - not without it). Read how easy it is to get over a breakup here. Now the couple is awaiting replenishment - the couple will soon have twins. Although Eve herself has not yet commented on this news.
