Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are parents to two beautiful daughters, Esmeralda Amada and Amada Lee. Mendes first became a mother when she was 40 and had her second child at 42. Mendes once wanted to adopt children as she believed that she did not have the“maternal bone”in her body. It turned out that falling in love with Gosling changed that notion.

Eva Mendes had a demand once she fell in love with Ryan Gosling

Because I’m already 32 and I don’t have a maternal bone in my body and I figure the clock is going to runout at some point so what if I’m 45 and I can’t physically have a child then I’d adopt one.
When she metRyan Goslingand theirrelationship became more serious, the actor was able to convince her that she could have their children. She once toldTodaythat she demanded to have babies when she fell in love with Gosling. She shared,“I met Ryan Gosling, I fell in love with Ryan Gosling, and then I was like ‘Oh right. I want your babies.”

I just didn’t feel — really it wasn’t until I met Ryan and fell in love. But also as a woman, I just wasn’t ready. It’s such a personal choice for a woman, obviously. Then you run the risk of… you’re always running a risk. When I was pregnant there was always something to worry about. But thankfully I had really healthy pregnancies and I was happy I waited.
