Eva Mendes has the support and approval of her two daughters for her forthcoming children’s book, but it didn’t come easily!
The Hitch actress shares two daughters with her partner Ryan Gosling , Emseralda, who just turned ten, and Amada, eight. The couple has been together since they met on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011.
And although they have famously kept their children out of the public eye, the doting mom did recently share an adorable anecdote about her daughters’ support of her first children’s book, Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries.
During an appearance on Good Morning America on Tuesday, September 17, Eva confirmed to host George Stephanopoulos that her girls do in fact “love” her new book, which is out today.
However, she then quipped: “I think they love it…” noting that the two are “very harsh critics,” and definitely weren’t shy to express some doubt during the initial creative process.
Still, the book has clearly already become a favorite in the Gosling-Mendes household. Eva further shared how the other day “I got really excited,” over a moment concerning her daughter that she maintained was “a true story, not a talk show story.”
