Eva Mendes Speaks Out About Her Hollywood Future
Let’s be honest—Eva Mendes is a powerhouse. But don’t try to persuade her to jump back into the Hollywood grind anytime soon, because this mom of two has her priorities straight. While promoting her fragrance line with Avon on Instagram, a fan couldn’t help but ask the 45-year-old star when she plans on making some new movies. And let me tell you, Eva didn’t hold back with her response.
On January 7, Eva took to her Instagram to share her thoughts. "Hi! When there’s something worthwhile to be a part of," she wrote. And here’s the kicker: "As a mother now, there are many roles I won’t do. There are many subject matters that I don’t want to be involved with, so it limits my choices—and I’m totally okay with that. I have to set an example for my girls now. But don’t worry, I’ve got some side hustles. Ha! Thanks for asking. All the best for 2020." Eva’s words were clear: family comes first, and she’s not shy about it.
What Are Eva’s "Side Hustles" Anyway?
Now, you might be wondering what exactly Eva means by "side hustles." Well, it’s no secret that the former Hollywood star has been putting her energy into other ventures. These include her chic collection with New York & Co. and her fruitful partnership with Avon. It’s been a while since Eva graced the silver screen—her last movie role was in 2014’s Lost River, where she played Cat, directed by none other than her husband, Ryan Gosling.

But Eva’s focus is elsewhere these days. She’s all about her family and her business ventures, and who can blame her? After all, there’s more to life than the bright lights of Tinseltown. And speaking of family...

Family Life with Ryan Gosling
Parenting isn’t easy, as Eva openly admits. Juggling her career and raising two kids—Esmeralda, 5, and Amada, 3—has its challenges. But Eva and Ryan, the 39-year-old hunk, face it all together. "It’s so hard, of course," Eva told Access Daily. "But it’s like that feeling of...you end your day, you put them to bed and Ryan and I kind of look at each other like, 'We did it, we did it. We came out relatively unscathed.’"
And hey, it’s not all about the struggle. Eva’s got a solid support system. She joked about the extended family that helps keep things running smoothly: "Luckily we have a lot of family support. A lot of family. My family lives here. His family comes in. They live in Canada, but they come in all the time and stay for a very long time, and it’s very welcomed." It sounds like Eva’s got her hands full, but she’s handling it with grace and humor.

Ryan Gosling Keeps the Spotlight Alive
While Eva has stepped back from the limelight, Ryan hasn’t missed a beat. The La La Land star has continued to dazzle audiences with his performances in blockbusters like 2017’s Blade Runner 2049 and 2018’s First Man. It’s clear that both Eva and Ryan are carving their own paths
