Amada Lee Gosling: All We Know About Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling’s Young Daughter
Amada Lee Gosling, Ryan Gosling's daughter, is hardly known. However, Ryan Gosling's fans are still curious about the actor's daughter.
Ryan Gosling's discretion in his relationship with longtime girlfriend Eva Mendes has been lauded. They have been together since 2011, and all this time, they have managed to keep their relationship under wraps.
While enjoying a quiet life, Ryan recently revealed that he closely checks his rarely seen two daughters, Amada Lee and Esmeralda Gosling, who are now showing their vibrant personalities. Amada Lee, the family's youngest child, has captured the attention of her dad and Eva's fans.
ALL WE KNOW ABOUT AMADA LEE GOSLING, RYAN GOSLING, AND EVA MENDES' YOUNGER DAUGHTER
A few years ago, few people knew Ryan and Eva were expecting a child. The longtime pair stunned the world when they welcomed their daughter Amada Lee born on April 29, 2016, at the Providence St. John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California.
Eva and Ryan chose the name "Amada" to honor Eva's late grandmother. The "Ghost Rider" actress explained that "Amada" means "beloved" in Spanish.
A source close to the couple revealed that Eva, 48, had kept her pregnancy secret for several months. The actress reportedly did not want anybody to know about the pregnancy except her closest friends and family.
According to the source, Ryan has always been a private person; therefore, he had no problem with Eva's decision since he knows how important privacy is to them.
Besides growing up as a cheerful girl, Amada Lee exhibited exceptional talent at an early age. Eva previously shared on social media how proud she was of her darling daughter for playing the piano at three years old.

Eva said she is less worried about her daughter following in her footsteps by working in the entertainment industry. She just let the little girl forge her path. Eva remarked:
"I try not to give my opinion too much on what they like."
In addition, the "Hitch" actress said that one of her responsibilities as a mother was to get out of her daughter's way and provide her full support in whatever she decided to do in the future.
AMADA LEE HAS AN OLDER SISTER: ESMERALDA AMADA
Amada Lee has an older sister named Esmeralda Amada, whom Eva and Ryan welcomed on September 12, 2014. Like Amada, Eva gives Esmeralda the freedom to follow her interests independently.
Ryan has been thinking a lot about the value of time and how he wants to watch his children grow up before his eyes.
Esmeralda's mother expressed her admiration for her eldest daughter's creativity. Eva said her eldest daughter once cut one of her socks and fashioned an arm sleeve out of the piece taken off of the sliced sock.
Even though she is still very young, Esmeralda has already been given a chance to witness what work looks like on a major film production set. Ryan accompanied her on the set of the 2017 film "Blade Runner 2049."
Ryan recalled Esmeralda, with whom he was "madly in love" from the minute she was born, yelling at him during a scene with Harrison Ford that her father was "winning." Ford thought the girl's reaction was adorable.
Ryan also took Esmeralda and Amada Lee to the set of the 2018 film "First Man," in which he portrayed Neil Armstrong, the famous astronaut who stepped on the moon for the first time.
Although it was only a set built to seem like outer space, both of the tiny girls showed excitement at their father's work on the moon. Ryan truly admired his daughters' sense of wonderment.
Esmeralda is now seven, while Amada is six years old. Ryan has been thinking a lot about the value of time and how he wants to watch his children grow up before his eyes. "My kids are growing up so fast I need to keep an eye on the clock in a way I never used to," he said.
