Eva Mendes promises payback to Ryan Gosling for birthday stunt

Eva Mendes shared her delight on the surprise birthday that her husband Ryan Gosling orchestrated.

During his appearance at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Notebook star surprised Mendes by serenading her with the Happy Birthday song on live television.

The Place Beyond the Pines actress then took to her Instagram to acknowledge the surprise along with a vow to retaliate.

She wrote, "A huuuuge gracias to @jimmyfallon and @nbhs_bruins marching band."

"What a beautiful memory, and a special thank you to all the educators in the audience. We need you now more than ever," she added.

Lastly, Mendes jokingly called out the Project Hail Mary actor saying, "My man … I’ll get you back for this [heart emoji]."

The episode marked the couple's first appearance on TV in more than a decade.

In the surprise, Mendes was serenaded by a marching band with an upbeat performance of Happy Birthday, complete with confetti as the audience sang along.

Gosling and Mendes started dating after they met on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines in 2012.

The couple has since welcomed two children, daughter Esmeralda, 11, and daughter Amada, 9.

In 2022, Mendes called Gosling as her "husband" in an interview and debuted a tattoo on her wrist "de Gosling."
