Eva Mendes will be sharing more updates of her new dog, Magic

In a video shared on Instagram, Mendes is seen welcoming an adorable and fluffy Doodle dog, revealing that she and her family had adopted her. Her name is Magic and the clip shows her having lots of fun with Mendes, running towards her, and participating in a photoshoot. 

In one moment, Magic adorably lays down underneath Mendes, placing her little head atop a rolled-up yoga mat. 

"Meet the newest member of our family …Magic!!!" she captioned the post. Mendes also highlighted the rescue organization that connected her with Magic, California Doodle Rescues. 

"We adopted her from this amazing organization @californiadoodlerescues More to come…I’m crazy about her and excited to share life with Magic with you."

Eva Mendes opens up about her family dynamics

Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are very private about their relationship and their family, which includes their daughters Esmeralda and Amada. Even though the girls are rarely featured in photos and the couple doesn't like to walk red carpets together, over the past year, Mendes has shared plenty of stories about her family. 

In a couple of Instagram stories shared this summer, Mendes revealed that their kids love to travel with stuffed animals, with the parents forced to carry them once the girls get bored of holding them. The photo shows her looking exhaustedly at the camera as she holds onto her daughters' stuffed animals. 

"Sooo I guess they're a significant part of my carry-on now? Is this the new norm?" she wrote over the image. "Btw, these are only three of the six that traveled with us. But at least I talked them down from twelve," she concluded, adding various laughing emojis.
