Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes marks daughter’s birthday with family outing

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes made a sweet public appearance with their daughters, Esmeralda Amada Gosling and Amada Lee Gosling.

The Project Hail Mary star celebrated his daughter Amada’s ninth birthday at Disneyland.

He was spotted holding Amada’s hand while strolling the park with Mendes walking closely behind.

The outing also marks a full circle moment since, Gosling and Mendes first met on the set of their 2012 thriller The Place Beyond the Pines, with filming beginning in August 2011.

A month later, they were spotted at Disneyland together, prompting romance rumours.

An onlooker described them at the time as looking "like a dating couple, they always walked very closely, holding hands and their arms touching side by side," according to People magazine.

The birthday outing comes as Gosling continues to promote Project Hail Mary, his latest film, for which he has said his daughters serve as his most trusted critics.

"My kids have seen multiple cuts. They give me multiple notes. They're basically the only critics I care about, and they are very critical and very honest," he told Access in February.

The duo is an intensely private couple that has kept their family away from the spotlight for many years.

So much so that confirmation of their marriage occasionally surfaced, particularly after Mendes referred to Gosling as her "husband" in 2022.
