Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling surprised fans with a rare public appearance together at the Paris Olympics. The couple, who typically keep their personal lives private, were spotted enjoying the equestrian competition, which took place at the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. Their daughters, Esmeralda (9) and Amanda (8), joined them, making this a family outing.
The couple dressed casually and stylishly. Eva looked stunning in a belted navy blue dress, white heels, and oversized cream color sunglasses that matched her hand bag—all retaining her personal vintage chic style. At some points during the event, the stunning Cuban-American actress also wore an FEI straw hat to shield herself from the sun.
Gosling, the star of blockbuster films like Barbie, opted to wear a white tank top with a plaid shirt on top, khaki pants and a Paris 2024 baseball cap. The couple's presence at the Olympics was unique, as they often avoid the public eye due to their busy schedules.
Mendes, who launched a sponge business, Skura Style, in 2022, has been busy managing her venture while sharing glimpses of her life on Instagram. She frequently posts funny videos and celebrates her Cuban heritage, sharing cultural traditions with her family.
The 50-year-old actress has stepped back from acting to focus on raising their children, emphasizing the importance of being present in their lives. When asked about retiring from acting in past interviews, she said, "It was the easiest decision I’ve ever made. I was older, and I knew that my kids were going to be little once, and whatever I do or don’t do right now is going to affect them for the rest of their lives."
