Eva Mendes, 50, brands her mom 'incredible' for retaining her sense of humor during cancer battle... after the star's brother died 8 years ago

Eva Mendes has branded her mom 'incredible' for retaining her sense of humour during her battle with cancer. Her brother Carlos died eight years ago.

Earlier this year, the 'Last Night' star shared her mother's cancer battle with her followers on Instagram but explained her mum didn't want the details of her health crisis to be made public. The actress has daughters Esmeralda, nine, and seven-year-old Amada with 'Barbie' actor Ryan, 43, who she's been with since 2011, and added they had an unspoken deal where they knew her work was going to be taking care of their children while he went out and earned money in Hollywood. Eva stressed she felt it was a 'no-brainer' to put her successful Hollywood career on hold to spend time nurturing their kids, adding: 'I'm so lucky.'
