Ryan Gosling and longtime partner Eva Mendes enjoy rare date night at Paris Olympics
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes stole the show at the 2024 Paris Olympics as they stepped out to watch the Grand Prix event on Sunday.
The notoriously private couple turned heads as they enjoyed a rare outing at the Chateau de Versailles before heading to Bercy Stadium for the women’s gymnastics uneven bars finals.
They blended into the crowd while hiding behind sunglasses, as the “La La Land” star wrapped his arm around his longtime partner.
Gosling, 43, kept it casual while switching between a green and white Olympics-themed baseball cap, a red flannel and white T-shirt.
As for Mendes, 50, she wore a black T-shirt, a sun hat and white sunglasses.
They were joined by their 9-year-old daughter, Esmeralda, and 8-year-old, Amanda, for the events. While walking through the crowd of spectators, the actors held their daughters’ hands tight.
The A-list couple, who met on the set of “The Place Beyond the Pines” in 2011, haven’t been publicly photographed together in years.
Mendes and Gosling often opt out of attending red carpet events and award shows together because the mom of two said they “value” their “private life.”
However, the “Hitch” actress hasn’t shied away from praising her beau on social media. In May 2023, Mendes sported a “Barbie” shirt featuring Gosling in his role as Ken.
She’s also gushed over the “Notebook” star being “the greatest actor [she’s] ever worked with” and slammed haters who criticized Gosling’s performance in the Greta Gerwig-directed film.
As for Gosling, he was photographed wearing an “E” initial necklace in honor of Mendes while attending the Los Angeles premiere of “Barbie” last summer.
While accepting an award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in January, the father of two admitted he was grateful for his life as an actor, especially since it led him to the girl of his dreams.
“I got to meet the girl of my dreams, Eva Mendes, and have two dream children,” he said at the time.
While the two keep the details of their romance under wraps, Mendes previously referred to Gosling as her “husband” while spending time with Ronald McDonald House charity in November 2022.
“I’m loving it here,” the “Other Guys” star said. “Everybody is amazing, everybody is welcoming us, it’s been so beautiful. My husband, Ryan, is here … and our children are here, we’re having the best time.”
