A week ago, Page Six had an interesting story about Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes’ relationship and their behavior towards each other at the post-premiere party for The Place Beyond the Pines. Apparently, an acquaintance of Eva’s yelled out “hey baby!” and Ryan proceeded to freak out and get in the guy’s face. Page Six also claimed that Eva and Ryan barely spoke to each other at the party. At this point, now that they’ve been together for more than a year and a half, I’m just not sure if they’re bringing out the best in each other. I feel like Eva is the one pushing this thing to work and Ryan is probably a moody bastard. I don’t know, it’s just a general sense I get and I could totally be wrong. In last week’s Us Weekly (print edition), there was this bizarre story about Ryan and Eva too:
Eva Mendes recently said Ryan Gosling is “your dream costar… he’s amazing.”
The longtime friends have now been dating for more than a year and are “very much in love,” says an insider.
“They don’t shout from the rooftops, but they cherish what they have.”
The duo also don’t see the need to move in together, adds the insider. “There’s no rush. What’s his is hers already, and likewise.”
Mendes has confided to a friend that her special relationship with Gosling’s mom, Donna, is her secret weapon. “Eva says that’s what sealed the deal with Ryan… they’re going to make it.”
[From Us Weekly, print edition]
Sketchy? Or just typical tabloid nonsense? Eh. I’ve always thought Eva is leaking information to the tabloids, especially when it’s Us Weekly. And I have no doubt that Eva is in good with Ryan’s mother – I think Ryan’s mom adores Eva. I think Eva played that part beautifully, especially for a mama’s boy like Ryan. But the stuff about how they don’t really live together? You know what that reminded me of? Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel! Justin kept his LA “bachelor pad” until they were married (and he still might have it, come to think about it) and yes, he stayed at Jessica Biel’s place a lot, but he still got to do his dude things (like screw around) in his own space. Some guys are like that – they need/want their own cave. And it seems like Eva is making excuses for it.

Eh, something has always seemed off about this relationship anyway. I’d be quite surprised if it went the distance.

mismatch or he’s more artificial than he looks (she’s only famous to be a beautiful actress)
and about the Page Six story,maybe a feud before the premiere “where is your turban,Honey?” “no turban tonight” “but i loved your turban :it was my present” “i was ridiculous….” “… “
Oh, that turban was so…aging on her. They are a mismatch.
I love posts on these two. Gosling’s fans hate this woman!! The comments are always amusing.
+1 oh yes!
exactly, like the beliebers’ insanity towards Selena Gomez.
I feel for her, cause Ryan does not seem like an easy man to date. Strikes me as the sort to get all intense and unpredictable for ‘art’ while expecting people around him to keep things constant. He’s hot though.
He just doesn’t seem like a picnic to be in a relationship with. I know he is supposed to be every woman’s fantasy and he just doesn’t do it for me. I think he is very talented though.
I also think that not every couple has to live together and if they choose not to, no big deal.
I don’t know much about Eva Mendes but she just comes across like she doesn’t put up with a lot of nonsense from the men in her life.
I know who her fashion sense reminds me of…Norma Desmond! She dresses way too old and “aging drag queeny” on the red carpet sometimes.
LOL!
Did she wear a stuffed bra or did she get some new bolt ons?
I never thought much of her, she seems very crazy and dumb to me. Gosling and her may keep this thing going for a while and he may use her to hype up his next movie. The fact that she is heavily involved to promote this movie, although her role is really small, makes me believe they were set out to showmance right from to the beginning.
He’s starting to irritate me. I think Drive did it for me; I just can’t watch him anymore. I get this feeling like he’s trying to hard to look like he’s not trying at all. Makes sense? Anyway, it’s a good thing to keep your own place if you can. It’s a good thing to get away from time to time and be alone, with yourself. Sometimes to keep the relationship healthy you need to have some room. But I doubt that’s what they are about. They are so strange. Who knows.
Makes sense to me! Contrived is a good word for him.
He has always seemed like he tries way too hard to look humble.
He dresses weird imo.
As far as these 2 together. They have never even seemed like they like each other in pics I’ve seen.
I used to like her, but she seems like a massive bitch.
Yap; they are just so weird
I think couples move in together way too soon. I see nothing wrong with forgoing cohabitation.
Same here. I’ve been with my boyfriend for 2 1/2 years and we still do not live together and have no plans to (in the forseeable future.) He stays with me a good bit, about 50% of the time, and I enjoy having him there, but I also enjoy my space when he leaves.
Cohabitation isn’t for everyone. People are quick to assume something must be amiss if couples have been together for a while but still live separately. Sometimes, a girl just needs her space AMIRITE??
YOU ARE RIGHT! I am not a Eva fan by any means but I see nothing wrong with not living with a guy you have been dating for the period they have been together, which to me hasn’t even been that long!
I live alone and love it. I need my space to do my thing. My guy has a key and comes and goes but it’s very fluid. I wish more women would pace themselves and date, instead of immediately moving in together so quickly. Just because 2 people who are dating don’t live together doesn’t mean they aren’t in a healthy, stable relationship.
But it depends on age, doesn’t it? If you’re 20-30 years old it’s fine to wait, but it’s different with 30-40 years.
I’m surprised they don’t live together. I probably assumed they would because she’s so famewhorey.
Absolutely right! I loved my personal space before I was married.
My cousin has a stupid pattern. She falls in “love” quickly, so she moves in w/ her boyfriends very early in the relationship. The relationships don’t last long; she’s got a new man about every 2 yrs. It’s hard on her two boys now that they’re in school, they’re always moving to another town & starting in another new school.
@liv – my fiance and I are both 42 and we don’t live together. He stays here a lot, but we don’t live together.
here here! People need to do things when it’s right for the couple, not when it’s right for the tabs.
This! What happened to waiting to move until there’s a bigger commitment involved? I know for sure I wouldn’t want to sacrifice my space unless it was worth it.
They get along so well because Eva is just like his mom. She does everything for him. She’s constantly running errands for him. She’s not an equal to him, she caters to what he wants and needs. In return she gets exposure and possibly more movie roles while he gets someone that he doesn’t have to compromoise with and can go about doing his own thing. Hello, his mother dressed in Eva’s clothes for a premiere, if that doesn’t say Oedipus Rex syndrome to anyone, I don’t know what does.
Maybe she’s a bitch too and that’s why they get along so well 😉 Seriously, his mother didn’t like Rachel, did she? And we all agree that Rachel’s a really great woman.
His mom didn’t like Rachel? Interesting. I think Eva and Ryan are a very strange couple… neither seems like the others type, at all. If his mom likes Eva and didn’t like Rachel, I wonder if it is because Eva seems to cater to whatever it is she thinks Ryan wants… including sucking up to his mother? Rachel seems to be a genuinely nice person, but more spirited, and I don’t see her sucking up much to win the approval of someone who doesn’t appreciate her.
Weren’t there some blind items a while back about an actor whose mom kept meddling in his personal life? So much that an engagement was called off? I always thought of Ryan and Rachel for this. I agree, Rachel seems like a nice person, but secure enough in herself not to be bossed around by anybody. However, Eva strikes me as very insecure. She probably did everything she could to impress Ryan’s mom, because this relationship is her only hope at staying relevant in Hollywood.
Rachel seems to be nice but we don’t know her personally.
We don’t know anybody personally, or do you? 😉
That’s what I think too. From what I have observed, this seems like a very unequal relationship. We always see her walking his dog, running his errands, getting his coffee, and yet we never see him doing any of these things for her. He wants a woman to cater to him and not question him. That doesn’t sound like a relationship I would want to be in. I’m not a fan of Eva, but it isn’t really fair to her. But I’m guessing she really needs the career boost he’s giving her by doing this. It’s kind of degrading, when you think about it. And she seems like someone who would do it. After seeing videos and reading interviews, she comes off quite desperate, insecure and not very bright, to be honest.
Idk. I’ve been married for close to 20 years and I just keep thinking if we were to do it again we’d get along much better if we lived next door to each other.
I love my husband but I want him out of my kitchen.
living together with all the laundry, the mess, with the dishes and the trash really put a damper on the romantic side of things!
So true! I wish they would realize that getting off their asses and proactively doing some chores and/or just keeping stuff clean is a turn on for some women. When I see my boyfriend’s dirty socks on the living room floor, toe nail clippers left on the coffee table, or see that he still hasn’t cleaned the George Foreman grill after 4 days…I get turned off by him romantically. Weird but never said I wasn’t. LOL
I am sooo with you on this. I like to keep the apartement clean, and nice, he is a mess, and doesn’t get why I don’t like dust. For example. I like to read before sleeping and he turns the light off, of course.
You know what’s funny: when I was a kid I used to see my Grandma and my Grandpa sleeping in two different rooms, and it was strange, I didn’t understand. Now I wish I could do the same 😀
LOL! You all are confirming what I’ve heard from quite a few marrieds! Usually the those who have been married awhile, and usually the women. I’m taking notes lol…every house we look at, I will pay close attention to the other housing options available nearby. 😉
Oi if you manage to find two small houses connected perhaps by a tunnel buy that!
or send me the listing.
When I was young my parents had many married friends who lived apart. At the time I thought how weird. Now, I think, how brilliant!
Ftr, it is not entirely about what slobs they are. I don’t really want him around when I do say, a full body mask. The smooth sexy isn’t sexy when you come home to find me naked covered in avocado, honey and sugar (he says it is_ I say get out!) or when my period has me in tears over spilt milk and hemorrhaging like a stuck pig or when I have been sick as a dog (please leave so I can hurl in peace) .
I want my space as much as I’m sure he does. The longer you are married, the less space you seem to have and the more space I seem to crave! Being girly, sexy and in the mood takes more effort on my part as I age. Tripping over his laundry sitting next to (seriously?) the laundry shute doesn’t help.
@Lem: Your comment is all kinds of awesome!
LOL, I am choking on PB & honey sammich!
🙂
LOL. I used to laugh at the old Bette Davis suggestion of how to make a marriage work- “seperate bedrooms and seperate bathrooms”
I get it now. HA!
The two-houses-side-by-side is apparently the set-up Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton have.
For those with smaller budgets, each spouse should have a room of their own.
If it works for them, more power to them. I’ve know married couples who have said their ideal living situation would be to have houses next door to each other lol. Familiarity breeds… boredom?
mismatch
How long have they been together again? 9 months? A year? I my experience this isnt weird at all most people i know dont move in together that quickly
I don’t think it’s weird either. Plus, as actors, they travel & are away from home for many months at a time. I would guess that it would take them longer to reach the “Ready to move in together? stage” than people with normal jobs.
A year and a half officially, maybe two.
I read this interview with Eva the other day. She seems alright. She is very connected to her family and her mother. I dont know why people hate her so much?
http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2013/apr/04/eva-mendes-place-beyond-the-pines
Search for her name on this website. Tata! Plenty of reasons to hate her.
From a mans point of view Eva is breathtakingly beautiful, bet she is all latino passion and he is a whiny little mommmys boy. Mismatch but not for the reasons his female fans thin. Lol!
i enjoy both of them as actors/personalities.
eva is incredibly beautiful and i see why men find her sexy.
ryan is sweet, brooding and more wholesome…like a boy next door sexy.
that’s why i say mismatch.
given this…i feel that ryan and rachel mcadams were better suited…because she is more of a wholesome beauty as opposed to hot latina sexy…
i saw an older movie yesterday with ryan and sandra bullock…didn’t they used to date? while she is older than him i think…they are better suited than ryan and eva.
You’re essentially saying they’re not a good match because she’s an exotic beauty. While I don’t find her too beautiful, all of the guys I’ve dated find her gorgeous. I think men have a different conception of beauty than some women do. Also, your comment that Ryan is more ‘wholesome’ is something he’s addressed. He has said that although some of his fans want to mold him into a wholesome, Notebook type, it is far from the truth. He is not wholesome. He is complex, and he prefers exotic beauties. If he wanted to remain with Rachel, he would have. Maybe she wasn’t his type.
LOL… if she is all latino passion then what is she doing with a whiny little mommy’s boy? Worse, what is she doing sucking up to the boy’s mom? Maybe your idea of Eva doesn’t really match the reality? 😉
Because he is a hot A list actor perhaps?
+1
Agree that she is probably with him because he is a hot A list actor, but my point was directed toward Eva being ‘all latino passion’, or… not. Most people who are very passionate in some way have a hard time hiding it. So, I would suggest that the male fantasy of Eva might not be a reality, that’s all.
I like me a moody man.
I have no opinion on Eva and Ryan’s relationship. What I don’t get is how either one of them is considered hot. Not ugly by any means but I don’t see anything special about their looks either. It would be interesting to see what their offspring would look like though.
Maybe its her who doesn’t want to move together?
The only thing I have to say about her is that she always wears the best lip color.
Why does everybody always assume that it’s the woman pushing for more commitment? Why, no matter how successful professionally, do we still judge women by their ability to grab a husband?
Maybe Eva is perfectly happy with the situation, maybe she isn’t desperate to get a ring. Maybe Eva likes a little freedom and doesn’t want to give it all up.
+1
People seem to hate her so much on this website, without any real (really!) apparent reason that it only makes me like her more…maybe it helps that i don’t like him that much.
I don’t like the fact that she shocks her dog. That says a lot about one’s character. She seems very impressed with herself as well. But that’s how must celebrities are, they crave the spotlight for a reason.
She’s one of those people that I just don’t like for no explicable reason. I’ve never liked her. And the funny thing is that Ryan Gosling is another person I inexplicably do not like.
Same here. I don’t know them personally, but I don’t get the best vibes from them. They both seem to try so hard and attempt to make it look like they aren’t trying at all. I see right through them.
Thank you for this!!
Time to realize it’s not the 1950s anymore…
Also a year and a half is not a long time, and also: each couple is different. Not everybody has to follow the same path.
I couldn’t agree more. In my experience it’s usually men who want to move in together so that they can have a maid/cook at their disposal. My ideal situation would be that of Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton, two separate houses right next to each other.
Amen, RobN!
She’s ok, he’s ok…I lose sleep over neither of them.
Ryan seems to be displaying all the things I dislike in men. Moodiness, possessiveness, and wanting to be the catered to. I know millions of women are gaga over him, but I honestly think a relationship with him might be quite unpleasant. Maybe not the physical stuff, but emotionally he must be exhausting. Of course I don’t know him, so I can’t say for sure.
She is a good businesswoman. She knows exactly what she is doing.
If you look closely in Ryans eyes, you can see the twinkle of Rachels face LOL Just Saying.
Delusional comment.
haha +1
she needs to control that right eyebrow that is arched in a frightening way. she looks like a vegas show girl (trannie ).
Why would they need to be living together? He’s away on location and so is she. Time off they spend together. When did you need to move in with someone by a year, year and a half? It’s not a commitment. You’re not engaged. She has her own home, her own furnishings, her own money. Moving in sometimes is the kiss of death when you do it during the initial hot stages of the romance and all of a sudden it’s just everyday routine. She seems independent and probably what he likes about her.
Independent? Is this a joke?
I’m surprised their relationship is getting that much interest. They are not seen together that much, and when they are it is always very casual and nondescript.
Ryan is a mama’s boy and his mom will never allow him to marry Eva. Eva needs to find someone new because his Mama probably wants Rachel for him or no one.
Ryan and Eva are more alike then Ryan and Rachel. People need to let go of that dream. Rachel deserves better than Ryan. Fact.
Yeah. To me Rachel McAdams seems like a real sweetheart. She was better matched to Michael Sheen than Ryan Gosling ever was. Eva and Ryan both seem like a couple of poseurs, they are very well matched indeed.
She’s a beauty and it’s great that she’s anti-fur 🙂
Ryan actually lived with Rachel and others so it really isn’t a great sign that he isn’t living with Eva. Isn’t she supposed to still be sharing the same house as her ex? These two just don’t suit each other and Ryan’s mom can like her as much as she wants I don’t think Ryan wants to marry Eva anytime soon. We always see Eva out doing errands but she and Ryan never actually seem to be together. Something is very off about this whole relationship.
others ?
According to twitter, Eva is with Ryan in Detroit right now. She seems to follow him everywhere. She also followed him to Thailand and stayed there the WHOLE time. Lainey said it’s because she’s terrified he’ll stray.
That doesn’t sound like a very healthy relationship.
ryan and rachel smell like unfinished business to me
They seem about as real as robsten. Notice how many stories there’s been now their movie is about to be released…
Oh she wish to be loved like Gosling LOVES McAadams..
