Eva Mendes on Why She Took a Break From Acting to Be a Full-Time Mom While Ryan Gosling Works


Eva Mendes opened up about taking a break from acting to be a full-time mom to her children. She shares kids Esmeralda and Amada with partner Ryan Gosling.

Though she hasn’t been acting recently, Eva is gearing up for the release of an exciting project — her debut children’s book, Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries, in September. “Inspired by our own nightly events with my daughters, Desi and Mami learn from each other on facing our monsters — whether under our bed or in our head,” she told People in February.
