Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling’s love story began in 2011 on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines, and it has quietly grown into one of Hollywood’s most private partnerships. They rarely appear on red carpets together and almost never discuss their relationship publicly. Years ago, Ryan summed up his feelings in an interview, saying the only thing he looks for in a woman is “that she’s Eva Mendes.” It was simple, and it said everything.
Their bond has remained strong away from the spotlight. Eva has openly shared that she never imagined herself becoming a mother until she met Ryan. That shift in her life became even more meaningful in 2016, when she managed to keep her second pregnancy completely hidden, a rare feat for a major Hollywood figure.
Nearly a decade later, she is finally sharing what that experience was like.
Eva Opens Up About Her Secret Pregnancy
On January 15, 2026, Eva joined the “2016 photo trend” on social media and posted previously unseen images from that year. One black and white photo shows her curled up with blankets covering her lap. She captioned it, “2016 I was pregnant. This is me hiding my belly.”
Eva and Ryan welcomed their second daughter, Amada Lee, in April 2016. At the time, no one outside their closest circle even knew she was expecting. The couple chose to keep the pregnancy and birth private, prioritizing their family over public attention.
In her post, Eva reflected on the emotional whirlwind of that year. She celebrated the arrival of a new baby, took major steps in her career, and endured the heartbreaking loss of her brother. It was a year filled with joy, grief and profound change, all happening behind closed doors.
