Eva Mendes Talks Heritage, Ryan Gosling Changing Diapers | TODAY

[@majordavis4688.]

she is not only a great actress,but a great person outside acting.

[@skexisas]

Loved her answer to the "diapers question"

[@ladykarma8163]

she really doesn't seem to age, so hard to believe that she's turning 42 this year. ryan is a lucky man, happy for them both.

[@lexilibra2088]

She's so unique and gorgeous!

[@elliewatson-eichorn1616]

She's amazing! I always thought she was stuck up. Never judge someone 👩‍⚖️ she's beautiful. Great mom

[@rosekeyes3189]

My boyfriend works with a lot of Latin-Americans. Their wives get up at 5am just to cook their husbands 3 course meals for breakfast. When they come to work parties, they wear perfect make-up and handle their children like supermoms. I hope my own boyfriend does not start comparing me to them! I don't know how they do it. If they have any human flaws, I certainly don't see them (and believe me, I look.) I think its part of the Latin-American culture.

[@e.rebeca4879]

This is not a general culture, just for you know

[@Busybeeee]

She is such a beautiful grounded person!

[@dena92]

What dumb questions! "How much are you loving life now"

[@michelbouesso7809]

y

[@magda1enaclark]

Eva is so pure what the heck.

[@dmd2803]

Awww she is so smart and confident

[@rosi77191]

Ryan and Eva cute couple hope they stay together for ever 😘🌸🌺🌼🌻

[@rosaarodriguez9968]

GOD bless her. And her family!

[@hessjackie]

Eva is very exotic. She reminds me a bit of Raquel Welch!

[@KristenLB]

Ironic! Because Ryan said Raquel was his celebrity crush when he was younger on Ellen

[@stateofconsciousness9174]

That’s why Ryan was drawn to her. He said his crush growing up was Raquel Welch 😘

[@VILJL]

Eva Mendes was born on March 5, 1974, in Miami, Florida, to Cuban parents Eva Pérez Suárez and Juan Carlos Méndez, and was raised by her mother in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Silver Lake, after her parents' divorce. She celebrated her 50th birthday on March 5, 2024

[@fabuloso7176]

hope it works out for them

[@cosettelaplante699]

She reminds me of the Italian actress, Sophia Loren, in this video...

[@TheSuperNats]

She's beyond gorgeous and first gen like me!

[@EliteDarkMage]

She NEVER talks about Ryan.

[@lexi219]

It's quite refreshing how private they are with their private lives. It's so ridiculous how often celebrities complain about invasions of privacy yet spill all of their private business to the public themselves.

[@Kareragirl]

+lexi219 That's not contradictory at all. YOU should be able to decide what you share with people. If someone takes that right away from you, there should be consequences and you should complain. Just because you don't hide everything, doesn't mean people should invade your privacy or that it's somehow "deserved".

[@Bay6768]

why should she?

[@CIM84]

EliteDarkMage she was referencing him when she said their daughter was with "papa" and the family...

[@snowdjagha]

Do you talk about you're boyfriend/girlfriend when you're talking with someone else. Because I don't and many of my friends also don't. That's just being normal.

[@Bill.w.1934]

Eva i love you. Latín woman beatiful

[@julienicholson8428]

Aww what s lovely sweet girl xxx

[@ДанилБатищев]

2016 two daughters now...yeah a little break

[@ChavelyMartínez]

👏👏👏Eva 🌷 Mendes👏👏👏

[@jennbrooms8058]

Very pretty and classy

[@aldavis9136]

Love eva....would like to meet her in person.

[@TheNumizmatika]

Omg, why does american "journalist" don't know how to speak with their guests?? It' s like that "famous people" are talking with their neighbours! How is your child is she pretty is Ryan changing a diapers??? What really ??really??! They are artist they produce art, have creative ideas, why that stupid questions??! I would like to see some normal disent articular interview some interview that they can open their mind talk about their plans imaginations ideas...God...

[@ccastro19741]

what is latino culture?? every country is different, they just share the same language.

[@snowdjagha]

It's just americans talking. They're oblivious by nature.

[@samairashaw1952]

She and PC so similar and same voice!!

[@Miss_christie1217]

PC?

[@ananyarangra2972]

exactly lol

[@anujoseph_10]

[@ginachan4521]

Eva Mendes is beautiful. Her and Ryan Gosling are beautiful together. I'm glad they don't share or sell pictures of their daughter's.

[@mindfreak001009]

....who told you she's a superstar? wtf! she's a megastar!

[@jona457]

Love Eva

[@sq21s97]

So pretty !!😍❤️❤️

[@samirfkr2886]

[@splendorinthegrass4557]

children of the corn lmao

[@MisterPotter]

My wife someday like her :3

[@EvieErcolin]

FYI Not only matins have diverse body types!! LOL That's not a special thing. Love the clothes and actress.

[@MichelleRedSoul]

True, and nobody said that.

[@kyraleigh9816]

Who said latinas are the only ones with diverse body types or that it was "a special thing?" Lol

[@crocsarecool6353]

Evie Ercolin what's a matin.

[@MichelleRedSoul]

I think she meant latins. Clearly this person isn't well educated. XD

[@youneskhabouz1215]

ademo is in love with you

[@sheisalicee6134]

All sizes.... we have zero to 18.... wth!!?? Ookaaay👌👌

[@onelovev7]

new york and company is not affordable..

[@PhaseSkater]

Valeria Luis I just looked up the prices. It's very cheap. Cheaper than most places at the mall. Wow

[@ifyourespondyourmad.2409]

I like her to represent Latinos. Not like those "Mexican girls" in Telenovelas that are straight up white with blue eyes and blonde hair. Eva is more relatable.

[@GoodandDelicious]

Some of Latinas ARE white. WTF?! You may not relate, but I do.

[@FREDDYCOOL009]

Wow this journalist is terrible. I saw her interviewing someone else a while back and remember her from it, because she was that bad. When she started asking about eva's daughter i just cringed.

[@lidiethrodriguez4477]

Hola

[@ericstewart1770]

[@rocker4577]

How much are you loving life right now? Jeezus.

[@roger8654]

she wears the pants in that relationship

[@suzannetadin9328]

Pretty Women!!!

[@indigoldd]

She is so fine

[@valentinaliendo1852]

I don't find her pretty but I love her clothing style.

[@lauriebatyah7329]

I couldn't agree with you more 100%. I'm not gonna say she's ugly but the hyperbole that everyone raves about her is over the top! They hype her and other "celebrities"

[@mia.2857]

AS MUCH I LOVE RYAN I DONT LOVE EVA. I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WILL END WITH RACHEL MC ADAMS BUT I WAS WRONG SO NOTHING LEFT BUT TO WISH THEM THE BEST AFTER ALL THEY HAVE 2 KIDS.

[@lauriebatyah7329]

Yep agree totally! Rachel McAdams or Emma Stone or even Michelle Williams. But A.B.E. (anybody but Eva) Geez Ryan could have anybody and beauty is definitely in the eyes of the beholder. Nevertheless these two don't conflate as a couple. I just don't and never did see it. 🤷

[@ajitanup921]

007

[@fembot521]

She is beautiful but a terrible actress. She clearly is famous because of her beauty.

[@Bay6768]

like all the other 90% of Hollywood actors&actresses.

[@aniagomez1873]

De veras?,a mi no me parece ,fíjate,porque ella interpreta cualquier cosa y se pone a la altura de cualquier papel por muy simple que sea,ella no tiene preferencias ,ni miedo,porque es muy segura de ella misma,no anda esperando tampoco que le den el papel del año para destacar ,pues se nota que es una mujer fuerte que le gusta enfrentar retos sin miedo a los riesgos,quizás el ser menos selectiva y ser más abierta y humilde en lo que hace ,favorece a los malintencionados comentarios de personas celosa como tú (sin ofensas),es lo que pienso.Pienso que es una gran actriz y que aunque hasta ahora lo ha llevado bien y ha jugado un excelente roll histrionic merece todavía interpretar un papel más relevante que los que ha hecho hasta ahora ,dejar de acompañar a otras estrellas y preocuparse también por brillar todavía más ella,y si se roba el show,pues tanto mejor para su crecimiento,so,que sea de vez en cuando menos humilde también hace falta a veces,creo yo.

[@brutuspendleton8543]

She's not a true beauty like other Latino ladies. She's out of her league with Gosling. Emma stone is more his type.

[@Caraf]

Lol Emma Stone is obviously not his type if he didn't have kids with her, he had them with Eva.

[@DevynLogan1]

Brutus Pendleton emma stone is cute but eva is stunning!

[@writtenIntheskys]

Rachel is prettier

[@mikefarrell9401]

she looks so young! she's gonna be 42 in three months! ...very hard to believe!

[@sparkle4051]

She's beautiful.

[@bklyn2014]

She does not look like she's in her 40s at all.

[@patriciamurphy3404]

YES SHE DOES.... I ALWAYS THOUGHT SHE LOOKS WAY OLDER THAN RYAN

[@willingtonannor4459]

She's so beautiful❤

[@megleaulpindo8961]

Shes preety

[@brandi5730]

She’s gorgeous

[@RosaMartinez-be1qq]

She is one person in this whole world I would love to sit and chat with!!
