Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling’s daughters may get access One of the hottest couples of HollywoodBut they are not getting time to social media or use smartphones.
In a new interview with The Sunday TimesMendes explained why daughters Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, 8, both home-schooled, are growing up a little differently than many kids their age.
“Putting my kid on the Internet and being like, ‘Oh, find something,’ is the equivalent of me telling him, ‘Oh, just go down the street at midnight. You’ll be fine,'” Mendes said.
“I know it sounds hyperbolic, but that’s how I feel.”
Mendes says her approach to parenting her children is based on “conscious parenting”, which prioritizes the relationship between parent and child rather than following rules.
“I still have all this anxiety and I see it passed on to my kids,” Mendes admitted. “Subconsciously I can’t imagine what they have inherited from me that I don’t want them to inherit from me.”
That said, Mendes is determined not to discuss physical insecurities or aging around her children, and insists that her sisters follow that rule as well.
“I will not be able to control this narrative much longer. They are reaching that age.”
Mendes and Gosling have also made a conscious effort to protect their daughters from the extremes of Hollywood, reportedly moving their family away from there so that their children would not grow up among the children of other celebrities.
“For them, the most important thing is their girls. Everything else comes second,” claimed a source. people magazine in March. “And their girls are thriving. He left LA to live a little further north, away from Hollywood. They did not want the girls to grow up around other celebrity children.
While Gosling is still a working actor, Mendes took a step back from acting 10 years ago to prioritize raising his children.
“I never loved acting. “I don’t mean this in a self-deprecating way, but I wasn’t a great actress,” Mendes told The Sunday Times.
“I’ve had moments where I’ve worked with really great people,” he said, adding that his best work has been with Gosling. “He gets something from me that he never got before.”
Mendes shared similar sentiments in an interview with “Good Morning America” last month, revealing that she would probably never return to acting.
“I don’t know. If there are interesting roles… I felt like I did it, you know? I was like, ‘I just worked with Ryan Gosling. He’s the best,'” he said, referencing his 2012 film, “The Place Beyond the Pines.”
“It was too high [in] My career working with him and what we built together, I was like, ‘This is a good time to be like ‘Seinfeld’ and just get out.” So, who knows?”
