Eva Mendes has recently shared insights into her life in the U.K. Following her relocation from the United States, she is adjusting to her new surroundings alongside partner Ryan Gosling. The couple moved across the pond earlier this year for Gosling’s role in the upcoming Star Wars film, Starfighter, set to release in 2027.
Life in the U.K.
On December 31, Mendes posted a cheerful video on Instagram, showcasing a tranquil afternoon with her dogs in their fenced yard. Dressed in a stylish blue sweater and skirt ensemble, she expressed the importance of appreciating life’s simple moments.

In addition to her outdoor video, Mendes also provided a glimpse into their cozy home. On December 27, she filmed herself deliberating between a colorful coat dress and Gosling’s green jacket. Ultimately, she decided to don her partner’s jacket and a baseball cap, highlighting a more casual, homey vibe.
Relationship Background
Mendes and Gosling, who began dating in 2011 during the making of The Place Beyond the Pines, have kept their family life relatively private. Their first daughter, Esmeralda, was born in 2014, followed by their second daughter, Amada, in 2016. Mendes has often emphasized the importance of privacy regarding their family matters.
In a 2020 social media post, she explained, “It’s about staying private in a public space.” This sentiment reflects their desire to maintain a balance between public life and family privacy.
Support and Teamwork
In 2022, there were rumors surrounding their possible marriage after Mendes was seen with a tattoo featuring Gosling’s last name. During a 2024 interview, Gosling praised Mendes for her support, stating, “She is with the girls and when she works, I stay home with the girls too. I couldn’t be here without her.”
Gosling also credited Mendes as a valuable asset in his professional life, calling her “the best acting coach I have ever had.” He acknowledged her role in helping him prepare for various projects, further reinforcing their partnership both at home and in their careers.
As Mendes continues to navigate her life in the U.K. with Gosling and their daughters, she remains focused on enjoying family time while balancing her professional commitments. Their journey reflects a strong partnership built on mutual support and love.
