Ryan Gosling's wife, Eva Mendes, recently shared a video on Instagram wherein her husband endorsed her product during an interview where he promoted his latest movie, "Barbie," alongside his co-star Margot Robbie.

In the short clip, Ryan referred to his wife by name while discussing her business. The video sparked different reactions from fans, with some questioning why he referred to Eva by her name and not as his wife.

"Why doesn't he say, 'my wife'?" one fan wrote. Another stated that she found their relationship weird, noting that the actor spoke about his significant other like they were just friends.

Despite the criticism, other fans came to his defense. One person wrote, "Love that he called her by her full name. Respect, love, marketing, and identity." The fan's comment caught Eva's attention, who responded, "@romancing_the_soul thank you! It was such a beautiful surprise to me. Heart-melting for sure. ♥️"

Gosling and Mendes prefer keeping their relationship private. The pair met on set in 2011 while playing each other's love interest in the 2012 drama film, "The Place Beyond the Pines." They began dating and welcomed their first daughter, Esmeralda Amada Gosling, in September 2014 and their second daughter Amada Lee Gosling in April 2016.

Though Ryan Gosling and Mendes didn't publicly announce a wedding, on November 21, 2022, Eva appeared to confirm that they had gotten married. During a guest appearance on Channel 9's Today in Australia, she casually referred to Ryan as her "husband," leaving little doubt about their marital status.

In a separate interview, when questioned about the marriage rumors, she disclosed they had secretly tied the knot. Though Gosling and Mendes are private about their relationship, a close source disclosed that the couple shares a strong bond of love and mutual respect and values each other's individual pursuits.

Additionally, another insider revealed that Gosling and Mendes prioritize spending quality time with their daughters. They relish being hands-on parents and try to be present in their children's lives whenever possible, cherishing the joys of parenthood.

In 2017, during the Golden Globes Awards ceremony, Ryan Gosling won the prestigious Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical award for his outstanding performance in "La La Land."

In his heartfelt acceptance speech, he took a moment to give a special shoutout to Eva Mendes and dedicated the award to her late brother, Juan Carlos Mendes, who lost his life to throat cancer in April 2016.
