On top of parenting the kids and spending quality time with Eva, Ryan is making sure he stays fit. "He gets in a good daily workout, sometimes twice a day," the insider revealed.

A Rare Peek Into Family Life

Though Eva and Ryan generally keep their kids out of the spotlight, Eva recently made an exception when she shared a sweet video of her youngest daughter, Amada, playing the piano. In the clip uploaded on March 24, Amada is seen playing along with a song on the record player, showcasing her budding musical talent. "Trying to keep things light at home with my two little ones," Eva captioned the video. "Nothing like some old Cuban music to do the trick. And yes, that's my 3-year-old on the piano," she proudly added.

While Eva and Ryan may be eager to return to their Hollywood careers, they're cherishing this unexpected break. "They're really enjoying this timeout from the world," the source noted. "They're all about family time and spending it with Esmeralda and Amada." It's clear that this couple values their family life just as much as their professional success.
