OK Magazine says Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are pretty much over. I know what you’re thinking: “OK Magazine? RLY?” But hear me out! OK Magazine was actually the first weekly to confirm Eva’s pregnancy over the summer. Star, Us Weekly and People Magazine actually raced to get to second place on that particular piece of reporting. Which says to me that OK Magazine might actually have a source close to Eva or Ryan. I know that makes no sense, but weirder things have happened. Anyway, OK Mag’s sources say that three months after giving birth to Esmeralda, Eva doesn’t even want to be around Ryan anymore.
They welcomed their daughter Esmeralda Amada three months ago but it seems the pressure of being new parents may be too much for Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes. OK! Magazine reported Monday the couple have been living separate lives recently. The 40-year-old actress has been struggling at home in Los Angeles with the baby while her 34-year-old actor boyfriend has been filming The Nice Guys for extended periods in Georgia, it was claimed.
The publication was first to report that the brunette was expecting a child with her Beyond The Pines co-star. Neither of their reps had any comment when contacted by MailOnline.
A source told the publication: ‘It’s more than just run-of-the-mill stress that comes with having a newborn. They’re barely talking.’ The source added, ‘Eva has pushed him away.’
Eva reportedly refused to fly to Atlanta with their young daughter to spend time with Ryan. An insider told OK!, ‘So instead of coming home every night to them, he’s jetting back and forth just so he can see his daughter.’
The couple, who started dating in 2011 after filming A Place Beyond The Pines together, welcomed baby Esmeralda on September 12. And the actress has made no secret of how fatigued she has been with her newborn, revealing to Ellen DeGeneres, ‘I’m so incredibly tired.’
The couple kept a very low profile during the pregnancy and haven’t been pictured out together in public for over a year. Eva has only been seen out and about once since the birth – in November – and there are claims that Ryan is worried she is becoming a recluse.
An insider told OK!: ‘The last time Ryan was in LA, he told her that she and Esmeralda needed to get outside for some fresh air, but she just wouldn’t listen.’
And if the couple do decide to part ways, it’s claimed that Eva would fight for full custody, with an insider saying, ‘Eva has been the primary, hands-on parent with Ryan away working so much, so she believes full custody is warranted.’
I remember this Radar story from when Eva was still pregnant – a source insisted that the pregnancy was unplanned, and that Ryan and Eva had actually been going through a breakup and makeup cycle when she got pregnant and Ryan was “surprised.” The source also insisted that Eva desperately wanted to marry Ryan and he wasn’t into it. I don’t really know what to believe, but I’ve always thought they were a weird, mismatched couple and it wouldn’t surprise me if the pregnancy was a “surprise” during a breakup, and it also wouldn’t surprise me if SURPRISE, a baby isn’t enough to hold Ryan and Eva together forever. Or even one more year.

I don’t get why people are so incredulous that he could truly be into her. It’s always poor Ryan being trapped in this relationship by this evil seductress. Do not get it at all.
Anyway with a small baby, truly hope they are not having problems.
Don’t you know that is the way with most male stars. The woman forces him to be with her. Forces him to get her pregnant. Traps him. That he wants to leave but can’t.
funny how these women are able to do that. They should write books to teach the “regular” woman how to do this. Because the world I live in men make their own choices. They don’t get trapped. They stay because they want to and leave for the same reasons. Children or no children.
People who post that stuff. “She trapped him with her swollen womb”, “she manipulated him into x or y” seriously make me worry. If thats where your brain goes when you look at a couple, I wonder if its not because that is something you have either done or have considered doing.
Right? That’s not the world I live in, if men got trapped by children there would be no single mothers. These women really ought to write a book because they clearly know something us mere mortal women don’t.
Seriously I’m so sick of that BS.
There is obviously no insider info on this couple because no one knew about the baby until she was almost ready to pop.
Ok may have broken the story but it’s not like they broke it when she was a couple months along.

Some men won’t stay around for a child. And some women really believe a child can make them stay. Regarding Ryan… He would stay. He’s got that wrtten all over him and I think this was known.
It’s not fullproof, but lets not pretend it doesn’t hapen and work because sadly it does.
Yes of course, she “trapped” him the evil wench! It couldn’t possibly be that he actually loves her or anything, nooo
and some women alienate the father of their child. It happened to my husband’s father. His mom made a big deal about finding a new man who would help create a nurturing family structure, blah blah blah. He stepped back because he thought he was doing the right thing. It was hard on his father, and 35 years later they are trying to define their relationship after a rocky chunk of time in my husband’s 20’s. But his mom totally interfered and manipulated.
I’m just surprised we still believe this was a suprise. A woman 40 years old, no kids, then oops I forgot to take my pill?
That is believable as all the boy/girl twin sets born in Hollywood. Hello, gender selection IVF, I have no problem with it, just don’t act surprised.
Also, she has been papped once in a year? Wow those paparazzi are sure an issue. I guess goes to prove that you can go without being papped.
This has always been my thought (and I always seem to get crap for it?) but I genuinely never understood how a mature, responsible, woman in her late 20’s early 30s+ just forgets to take birth control she’s been on for years?
This, both my sisters had ‘accidents’ and its not an accident if you don’t use a form of birth control. That’s like ‘accidently’ getting drunk as you’re shot-gunning beer!
sometimes people do get pregnant while on birth control. I did, while I was on the pill. Luckily, we are thrilled to death with our surprise!
Erm, not everyone uses birth control pills. Also they are not always 100% effective. So there’s that.
Well, when used correctly every time, most birth control has an average of 99% success rate. So that’s one romp out of a hundred being the one to make a baby despite perfect usage. Most people probably use it MOSTLY right, taking the pill a couple hours late one day. Maybe the condom isn’t on perfect, whatever. Even if it’s 99.9, isn’t that still 1/1000 romps causing a baby? totally plausible.
I remember reading in an article years ago in the DC City Paper in which a woman described how her cold medication messed up her pill’s effectiveness and she wound up pregnant. it can happen.
Not saying that’s what happened in this relationship…
I did not want children, ever. I was on the pill and he used condoms consistently. I got pregnant twice. They are not foolproof.
He was surprised? Maybe she was too. Tired of the trap stories.
I think they strike many people as a mismatched couple to begin with and then the way they were so aggressive about courting media attention in their early days felt . . . strange. weirdly manipulative.
I don’t think she trapped him.
I think they were close to over when she got pregnant, though, and they are now handling a slow rollout of a breakup story.
I know. She’s much hotter than he is, if anything, he’s punching above his weight.
I’m glad you said it Ann! I find Gosling hot but not necessarily good-looking, yet Eva both! But I guess because he’s such a sex symbol, fans think no one is good enough especially a woman of color who is older with equal or less star power!
It’s the guilt of naming their daughter “Esmerelda” that’s tearing them apart. Nothing can overcome that name.
Perhaps, her ex George Augusto who she is around often, he could be a problem of all problems. They are business partners and good friends.
Here, have a gold star, CTgirl!
Lol CTGirl – that name is god awful.
I believe that she seems a bit off the rails with the whole hiding thing — at this point, she has to keep it up, in her mind, because she’s managed to keep her daughter so secret. That’s her prerogative, but I’m sure it’s a bit stifling.
As a mom of 3 boys, it sounds like Eva might be going thru some postpartum depression. If she, according to the “source” won’t even get out for some fresh air with the baby and is pushing the father away…that might indicate some postpartum issues. Ryan is asking her to bring the baby to his movie location, probably by private jet and a sweet rented home, but she won’t leave the house? As a sufferer of postpartum depression after all of my pregnancies…well, that’s my 2 cents. I hope she talks with her doctor about it.
that’s kind of what I thought too – I’ve never had kids, but from what I understand it can be terrible to go through. If that’s the case, like you said, hope she gets help!
And Luv2be, I’m sorry you went through that … hopefully you had a good network around you and that you’re better now 🙂
Thanks, Snazzy. That’s very sweet of you. 🙂
I was getting the same vibes. Even if it’s not full-blown PPD, she sounds like she needs a lot more mental/emotional support than she is getting and Gosling may be able to provide. I hope she finds a great therapist or counselor.
also thought this. and I’m so sorry you had to deal with that but it sounds like you came through it OK, thank goodness.
Yes, thats what I thought – sounds like she needs a bit of support, hope she can get the help she may need.
Luv2be, I was thinking the same too. I went through severe PPD and I was both crying daily and fighting with my husband over every little thing constantly during the first six months. It’s a miracle we made it through, the stress of being a first time mom, almost losing the baby at birth(long story of stupid hospital error) and PPD com I ed, it was nuclear.
Really hope they figure it out. While it happens it feels like hell but for the sake of their daughter I do hope they look for help. Him working away is certainly no bonus but if he signed up for it before knowing the timing of the pregnancy and so on, what can he do other than flying back and forth? Part of me doesn’t blame her for not wanting to move temporarily, even with their money and comfort, I would not have wanted to leave home either. But her not taking the baby out….that is definitely not good!
None of this would surprise me. I don’t think Ryan feels “trapped” anymore now that he has a baby with her than he would with no baby. It’s not like Eva is at home trying to run the house why daddy works. Whatever issues she has could be postpartum related, or maybe she just wants to spend some time with her new baby! She’s waited long enough for one. But, she has admitted to psychological issues in the past, so who knows. It’s probably been long over between them for awhile now…the relationship most likely ran it’s course. I can’t see either of them being devastated.
Why is it so hard to believe that he may actually like her? Is it because she’s ‘not his type’ since she’s not a Caucasian blonde (or just that she’s not Rachel McAdams)? As for pushing him away, could be Postpartum Depression.
Guess she is not manic pixie dream girl enough.
It could be depression, and it could also be that now she’s got the baby she wanted she doesn’t need/want him. I guess the reason I wonder that is because of the “I’m providing all the care, I should get full custody” thinking. That doesn’t sound like depressed to me, but I could be wrong.
NO ONE IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR “OUR” GOSLING!!!!ELEVENTYHUNDRED!11!!!!!! Agree with you on the fact that some people may be put off by the fact that she’s not white and/or Rachel McAdams.
If it’s post-partum depression, I hope she gets help and is better soon.
No one is good enough for Ryan’s “Hey Girl”s, they would hate on any girl that isn’t Rachel McAdams. Oh and for added shame, Eva is OLDER than him! How disgusting of her to grab a younger hearthrob. /sarcasm
I think you’re RIGHT ON about – SOME of – the negative reaction to Eva being because she is not white, but I think that’s more youthful egocentricity than racism (does that make sense). This guy is a fantasy boyfriend for a lot of young and young-ish girls. Rachel McAdams was a (white) “everygirl” – that many of the young girls who crushed on Ryan could relate to and imagine themselves to be. Eva – to them – is exotic. They can’t see themselves in her and it crushes the dream.
that’s my guess. i think it may be true for some, not for others.
Because she looks like a dude
Well, then, he likes dudes because he’s been with her for close to 3 years and had a baby with her.
Now what?
Had an oops baby and now they are done.
Wow thats really rude.
LOL!
As a fan of neither of them, I’m pretty sure this is a lie.
I’m with you on this one.
She’s 40 years old and recently gave birth. This woman is tired.
Rest up, Eva. We love you. We’ll be here when you’re ready for us.
I would bet they are both exhausted. I’m in Atlanta and they are filming his movie all over the place, all times of day. They are probably fine. But even if they aren’t, it is a tough transition to go from a couple dating to parents.
They have no chemistry and Ryan has chemistry with everyone
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBw8Jz7IwUY
Well, he sure had chemistry off camera, because he started dating her and had a relationship after doing a movie together. I don’t believe this story. But I do agree, just out and about, he and Rachel were always so affectionate, and he would look at her adoringly on the red carpet also, which threw me, he is usually so serious. I think he and Rachel are over meaning he’s not pining for her and he moved on, but I think at the time he was crazy in love, very affectionate, which you don’t see that kind of carefree photos with he and Eva. Although, a few photos don’t mean anything. I’m sure he’s crazy about Eva or he wouldn’t have been with her as long as he was before she got pregnant..
But when he was with Rachel, they were adorable together. He smiled so much with her.

Blind Gossip had a story that she wanted him to marry her after she had the baby but he wouldn’t and she was embarrassed about it in front of her catholic family. I think they’ve been donzo for a long time.
If she doesn’t get papped, then how the hell does anyone know where she is at the moment?
I don’t know: it’s easy to confirm a pregnancy – one either is or isn’t expecting. But relationships are never 100% “on” or “off”, they are fluid and change. These two have a child together so it doesn’t matter whether or not they are in love or not anymore, they ARE in a relationship.
Yep, totally agree. Biggest reason why you should be careful who you bind yourself to for the next 18 to 30 years considering today’s economy 😉
The world is full of surprise baby’s.
Ahahahahahahahaha!! Love that comment!!
Well, this is what he said three years ago or so. He had babies on the mind. So maybe it wasn’t a surprise baby.
“I’m in a committed relationship with film. I’m giving as much to it as a marriage. I had two of the greatest girlfriends of all time (Sandra and Rachel). I haven’t met anyone who could top them. I’d like to be making babies, but I’m not, so I’m making movies. When someone comes along I don’t think I’ll be able to do both and I’m fine with that. I’ll make movies until I make babies. I have no idea when the handover will happen.”
what a weird quote. that either/or mindset.
Yup, my 19 year old suprise baby just ate all the chicken nuggets.
The same OK magazine that said they were having a boy on their cover after their daughter had been born. They don’t know anything. It’s just convenient to make up a story now, because Ryan was away filming for awhile.
Also can anyone explane to me how they are mismatched as a couple?
Part of her tiredness could be disappointment because he didn’t instantly want to marry her when she had their child.
why don’t people use multiple forms of birth control? I just don’t get it.
It’s inconvenient, and when one is married or seriously committed, one tends to buy into the statistics. (Both my boys are “pill babies” so I believe they are just destined to be. My daughter is another form of BC failure, so she is destined to be as well. Babies happen.)
I thought the same way when my BC failed.
I was told i was infertile when i was 22, from a dropped uterus and excessive training for track-irregular periods.
I went on the Pill anyway as a precaution.
Got pregnant the 2nd time i had sex – age 22.
Was almost 3 months along when i discovered i was pregnant. Was running 5 to 12 miles per day during 1st trimester -did not miscarry.
Later, the gynocologist advised me that i got pregnant because of the numerous vitamins i was consuming.
I had a healthy baby boy and 5 years later a beautiful girl. My children are not accidents-they are miracles.
1) Running while pregnant doesn’t cause a miscarriage, especially if your body is used to running. Look at Paula Radcliffe who not just ran during her first pregnancy, but trained so aggressively that she won the NY Marathon when her daughter was 9 months old
2) I’m surprised your doctor told you were infertile due to amenohrea (missing your menstrual cycle during training). While it’s a serious issue because it means that you’re not consuming enough calories so your body robs from other functions (and because of this it drastically affects your bone density) once you start consuming more calories and/or cut down on the intensity of training your menstrual cycle should come back.
well, if you REALLY don’t want to have a child, you will and you can. that’s the good news.
I DO NOT want to get pregnant. I think I would be driven to suicide. I do in fact use multiple forms.
To me she is signaling, marry me or hit the door. She thinks the baby gives her power. Not a good way to nail a man down.
Maybe she has postpartum.Maybe she wants the comforts of home as she adjusts to motherhood, rather than living temporarily in Georgia.
I suspect she’s pushing him away because she wants him to stay for her, not just the baby. And/or fears he will leave her later. She’s probably, perhaps subconsciously, setting up a tough test — perhaps too hard of one — if he leaves she’s relieved of the stress and worry of him leaving, and if he stays despite her creating a terrible situation it proves he will stick it out through thick and thin. Including the age difference.
