Ryan Gosling<\/a> made a very rare public appearance with Eva Mendes<\/a> as the private couple celebrated her 52nd birthday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 45-year-old actor, who is preparing for the release of his upcoming film Project Hail Mary<\/a>,\u00a0was joined by the actress during Thursday’s episode of The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The lovebirds first crossed paths back in 2011 while on set of the movie The Place Beyond The Pines, and have mainly kept their romance out of the spotlight.<\/p>\n

Both Gosling and Mendes held big smiles on their faces while cozying up together as they received a warm welcome from Fallon and the live audience.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pair were later seen standing next to a large sign that read ‘Happy Birthday Eva!’ which was held by a marching band.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Colorful confetti could be seen falling down onto the ground inside the studio where the taping of the late night talk show took place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mendes was stylish in a pair of loose-fitting jeans as well as a printed black shirt and blue-striped cardigan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her brunette locks were parted to the side and cascaded down past her shoulders in light waves.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Notebook actor also dressed for the occasion wearing a black shirt as well as black trousers and a dark gray blazer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two stars had a sweet backstage moment which showed the pair talking to Fallon. Mendes could be seen linking arms with Gosling as she also rested her hand on his arm.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

After Mendes and Gosling first sparked up a romance on the crime thriller over a decade earlier<\/a>, they also welcomed two daughters: Esmeralda, 11, and Amada, nine.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He recently revealed how their two children were involved in his new sci-fi adventure film Project Hail Mary – which hits theaters on March 20.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The premise is: ‘Science teacher Ryland Grace (Gosling) wakes up alone on a spaceship light-years from Earth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I made this for them essentially,’ Gosling expressed during an interview with Access<\/a>\u00a0last month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘As a family, I’d like a movie like this that I’d like to see. I just feel really honored that I got to make one.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The actor added that his children’s opinions on the film were important to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘My kids have seen multiple cuts. They give me multiple notes. They’re basically the only critics I care about, and they are very critical and very honest,’ the star shared.<\/p>\n

Mendes has also been supportive of the actor and his forthcoming lead role in the film – which is based on the 2021 science fiction novel of the same name.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month on Valentine’s Day, the Ghost Rider actress\u00a0jumped to her main Instagram page to share a series of snaps\u00a0as she modeled a shirt to promote Project Hail Mary.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The short-sleeved shirt had the words ‘Believe in the Hail Mary’ printed towards the top.<\/p>\n

In the caption of the carousel of pictures, the mom-of-two penned: ‘For my Valentine \u2665\ufe0f.’<\/p>\n

Back in 2022, Mendes seemingly revealed that both she and the actor had tied the knot when she referred to Gosling as her ‘husband.’<\/p>\n

During a past interview with GQ,<\/a> the actor revealed that he did plan on having a family until he met Mendes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘I wasn’t thinking about kids before I met her, but after I met Eva, I realized that I just didn’t want to have kids without her,’ he told the outlet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The star explained that filming scenes as a family with Mendes prompted his outlook to change. ‘I didn’t really want it to be pretend anymore. I realized that this would be a life I would be really lucky to have.’<\/p>\n

Gosling further commented on fatherhood and stated that, ‘I would never want to go back, you know?<\/p>\n

‘I’m glad I didn’t have control over my destiny in that way, because it was so much better than I ever had dreamed for myself.’<\/p>\n

And while previously talking to\u00a0People<\/a>, Mendes also discussed having children later in life. ‘When I was 40, it was a big deal for people when I was pregnant, and it wasn’t for me.’<\/p>\n

Gosling will also host Saturday Night Live for the fourth time later this week on March 7\u00a0<\/p>\n

She added, ‘And then I was 42 and I was pregnant with my second one and people were like, “Oh my God, you’re going to be so tired. That’s why people have kids in their 20s.” I was like, that’s the most sorry, asinine thing I’ve ever heard.<\/p>\n

‘It takes more patience. In my 20s, I shouldn’t have even been around a child. I was just foul-mouthed and smoking. I could not have raised kids in any other era of my life but now, for sure.’<\/p>\n

Gosling will also host Saturday Night Live later this week on March 7.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He notably took part in a humorous promo where he thought he was joining the five-timers club only to discover it was his fourth time hosting the sketch comedy series.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ryan Gosling made a very rare public appearance with Eva Mendes as the private couple celebrated her 52nd…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":460398,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,97,125,96,50560,26404,478,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-460397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-dailymail","tag-earth","tag-entertainment","tag-eva-mendes","tag-ryan-gosling","tag-tvshowbiz","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460397","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=460397"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460397\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/460398"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460397"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460397"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460397"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
