Eva Mendes is setting the record straight about why she doesn’t post images of the children she shares with Ryan Gosling.
The actress explained her reasoning on Saturday after sharing an Instagram post about how in “these times” she simply doesn’t know what to project on social media given the fact that she is already so private.
"During these times, I'm so confused about what to post so I'm going to post things that move me in hopes that they move you as well. Since I don't post my about immediate family, and it feels so wrong to post about work, here you go...," Mendes wrote alongside a photo of a painting.

"Hi! I have always had a clear boundary when it comes to my man and my kids," Mendes responded. "I'll talk about them of course, with limits, but I won't post pictures of our daily life. And since my children are still so little and don't understand what posting their image really means, I don't have their consent. And I won't post their image until they're old enough to give me consent.
"As far as Ryan and I, it just works for us this way, To stay private," she continued. "Sending loads of love to you at this time."

In October 2019, Mendes appeared on the "Kelly Clarkson Show" and told the former “American Idol” standout that she and Gosling, 39, have similar parenting styles, which can be too much for everyone to handle.
“We’re very controlling,” she said. “I think what the term is — we’re always laughing at these terms — I think we would be ‘bulldozing parents.’”
Mendes also told Clarkson that she has no problem being a “helicopter parent” simply due to her children’s ages.
