Some of you accuse of me of putting too much stock in tabloid reporting. I am gullible about gossip sometimes, in that I usually believe the worst about people and, obviously, I am the target market for tabloids. So it’s a rarity for me to say that I really think all of the tabloids are full of it about Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes at this point. Eva was pregnant for MONTHS without anyone revealing the secret. We know that Eva and Ryan welcomed a daughter, I guess, but no one has come forward and revealed the name. How is it possible that a “source” is close enough to Ryan and Eva to describe how they cried when their daughter was born, and yet that source won’t tell us the baby’s name?

It’s official: the world just became a little more beautiful…because Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have welcomed a baby girl! The 40-year-old actress gave birth to the couple’s first child together on Friday in Los Angeles, E! News has confirmed. The notoriously private pair, who never officially confirmed that they were expecting, have yet to publicly share the baby news and it’s unlikely that they will formally announce the birth.

But that doesn’t mean that the lovebirds, who first began dating back in September 2011, haven’t been enjoying their baby bliss in private!

“Eva is so happy she’s a mom, their baby girl is perfect!” a source tells E! News of the proud parents’ bundle of joy. “They are at home now with the baby and Eva is feeling great she says. She’s so good with kids and has been wanting this a really long time. When she found out she was having a girl, she was freaking out. She kind of wanted a girl deep down, but of course just wants a happy and healthy baby! Ryan is saying he is going to be overpowered with girls in the house and is gonna have to be extra manly around the house!”

While the pair has yet to reveal the name of their little one, Mendes continues to tell family and friends “how in love she is” with her darling daughter. “Everyone is saying the baby looks like Eva and has her features,” the source said of the wee one, who we can only presume is one gorgeous little girl.

The pair is clearly over the moon when it comes to the newest edition to their family and the duo even shed a few tears of joy upon first setting sights on their bundle of joy.

“It was very emotional for Eva and Ryan,” the insider said of their daughter’s birth. “They were both in tears when they saw their daughter for the first time!”

Sure, I’ll believe that Ryan cried when he held his daughter. Because that’s an educated guess – most men and women are extremely emotional when they hold their babies for the first time. That would be like a “source” saying, “Ryan touched his daughter’s little fingers.” OF COURSE HE DID. Tell us the name, “sources”!!! Oh, and do you think she got Eva’s coloring? Probably.

Ryan’s mom and sister were also spotted at Ryan and Eva’s home this week – go here to see photos.
