Eva Mendes is showing her love and admiration for Ryan Gosling in a rare public display of affection, celebrating his recent advocacy for stunt performers. The actress, who typically keeps her relationship with Gosling private, took to Instagram on Friday to share her pride over his efforts during his “Fall Guy” press tour. In her heartfelt post, Mendes praised Gosling for using the publicity surrounding his role in the 2024 film to push for stunt work to be officially recognized by the Academy, marking a significant milestone in the industry.
Her Instagram slideshow featured photos of Gosling with the stunt team from Fall Guy, as well as articles about his campaign. Mendes, 51, expressed her admiration, writing, “My man is the F best!” She highlighted the importance of the cause, noting that stunt work will finally be included as an official Oscars category starting in 2027. Mendes also took a moment to congratulate the stunt community on this historic achievement and, in a playful tone, jokingly shared a photo of Gosling with his co-star, Emily Blunt, calling her a “total babe” and playfully adding, “No más!”
The actress also applauded Gosling for turning his entire press tour into a campaign for this cause, emphasizing that success in Hollywood is often measured by box office numbers. “I’m extra proud of my man,” she said. Fans flooded the post with admiration for the couple, praising them for their mutual support and love for one another.
Gosling, who portrayed a stuntman in Fall Guy, worked closely with real-life stunt performers Logan Holladay and Ben Jenkin to ensure authenticity in his role. The couple, who began dating in 2011 after meeting on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines, share two daughters, Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, 8. Although marriage rumors often swirl around them, they have maintained a private relationship, keeping their family life largely out of the public eye.
While Mendes has stepped back from acting to focus on raising their daughters, she has occasionally shared insights into their personal life. In a 2024 interview with The Times of London, Mendes revealed that much of her confidence comes from Gosling, saying that she feels “really f–king sexy” due to “the way he looks at” her. With posts like this, it’s clear that their love and admiration for each other are as strong as ever.
