Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes Welcome Adorable New Family Member

But Charlie’s adoption isn’t the only exciting news Mendes has celebrated as of late. In fact, she had the best reaction after Gosling was announced to star in Marvel’s Ghost Rider, sharing a nod to the pair’s 2012 film The Place Beyond the Pines, where she and the 45-year-old first met.

In a July 26 Instagram post, Mendes reshared a fan-edited clip of the opening scene from the crime drama, which features a shirtless Gosling as motorcycle stunt driver Luke Glanton dressing himself as he walks through a carnival crowd before mounting his motorcycle.

The editor added the newly released Ghost Rider logo on top of the footage, writing, “from this intro only i thought ryan gosling can be a perfect casting for ghost rider role.”

And Mendes agreed, captioning the clip in reference to her character Roxanne Simpson in the 2007 film Ghost Rider, “Love, Roxy.”

But Mendes and Gosling are no strangers when it comes to being each other’s biggest cheerleaders. In fact, one of the ways they keep their bond so strong is through prioritizing quality time.

“Yeah, we do have date nights regularly,” Eva told People in an interview published April 17, noting that the pair’s “together-time” consists of “all the unmentionables.”

“I don’t know what else to say,” she added. “We like movies and we like going to the movies so we try to keep that alive.”

And their star power has yet to get in the way of their humble date night plans.

“People are usually cool,” she explained. “If you want attention, you go to certain places, and if you don’t, you know where to go. We do the latter.”
