Eva Mendesis sharing the rules of her household when it comes to her and Ryan Gosling’s daughters' access to the internet.
On Thursday, Mendes, 49, uploaded a video on Instagram of herself shaking her head and fingers in disapproval. “When my kids ask me if they’re old enough to go on the internet, social media or anything requiring wifi 😂,” she quipped in the caption. TheHitchactress and Gosling, 42, have two children together: daughters Esmeralda Amada, 8, and Amada Lee, 7.
After sharing the post, Mendes took time to respond to social media users who weighed in onher parenting style. “I’m just sharing what I feel now, but I know it’s gonna get harder as they get older,” the mother of two wrote regarding the topic.
“We are in the internet century so eventually everyone will need or want to access the internet sorry,” a commenter claimed. This prompted Mendes to add, “Yes true, but in my house, children do not have access to the internet. It’s too dangerous. Just like drinking or voting or getting a driver’s license (etc..) isn’t allowed for children, the internet falls under that category for me. Especially social media.”

Mendes and Gosling have beenromantically linkedfor over a decade after the pair worked onThe Place Beyond the Pinestogether in 2011. In the film, they played a couple raising a son. Their chemistry carried over to the real world because soon after the production wrapped, the two were photographed holding hands during a trip to Disneyland on Sept. 7, 2011.
They welcomed their first child in September 2014, and after managing to keep Mendes’ second pregnancy a secret, their second daughter was born on April 29, 2016.
“I wasn’t thinking about kids before I met her, but after I met Eva, I realized that I just didn’t want to have kids without her,” Gosling toldGQin an interview earlier this year.The Notebookactor added, “And there were moments onThe Place Beyond the Pineswhere we were pretending to be a family, and Ididn’t really want it to be pretendanymore.”
Eva Mendes shows off tattoo.
Thoughthe lovebirds notoriously live a pretty private life, in November 2022, Mendes posted an Instagram photo of a tattoo on her wrist hinting that the couple could, indeed, be married. The ink, which reads, “de Gosling” sent social media users in a frenzy after people noticed that in Hispanic culture, women use “de” or “of” with their husband’s last name after marriage, indicating the marking could mean “Mrs. Gosling.”
