Eva Mendes never thought about becoming a parent until she met her now-husband, actor Ryan Gosling.

“Ryan Gosling happened,” Mendes said. “I mean, falling in love with him. Then it made sense for me to have … not kids, but his kids. It was very specific to him.”
The couple now shares two daughters together, Esmeralda, 4, and Amanda, 2.

Mendes added her family has been a huge help when it comes to raising the two young girls — especially when they were even younger than they are now.
“We have an amazing support group: Ryan’s mom, my mom, Ryan’s and my sisters. It’s a village that helped us. My heart goes out to women who do this alone. I basically come from a single-parent household; although I love my dad, my mom mostly raised four of us on her own.”
