Ryan Gosling & Eva Mendes Make Rare Public Appearance as a Couple at the 2024 Paris Olympics
Give Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling the gold medal for cuteness.
On Aug. 4, the couple enjoyed a family day out at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, marking the first time the two have been photographed together at a public event in almost a decade.
Along with their daughters Esmeralda, 9, and Amada, 8, Eva and Ryan attended the women's gymnastics uneven bars final at Bercy Arena, where Team USA's Suni Lee won the bronze medal, while China's Qiu Qiyuan, earned silver and Algeria's Kaylia Nemour walked away with the gold.
Eva, 50, and Ryan, 43, were also photographed at the Equestrian Dressage Individual Grand Prix Freestyle event at Chateau de Versailles, where Germany's Jessica von Bredow-Werndl took the top prize, with her teammate Isabell Werth coming in second and Britain's Charlotte Fry getting bronze.
The couple, who have been a couple for at least 12 years, have largely kept their relationship and family out of the spotlight.

Eva, who had stepped away from acting to focus on being a mom, and Ryan have rarely been seen out together over the past few years. They were last photographed at a public event in 2015, when they appeared onstage together at a group Q&A event for the movie Lost River, the actor's directorial debut, at the 2015 SXSW festival in Austin, Tex.

Three years prior, Eva and Ryan attended the premiere of The Place Beyond The Pines, marking the costars' first and most recent joint red carpet appearance. The two had met and fallen in love on the set of the film, and also decided at the time that they wanted to start a family together.
"I wasn't thinking about kids before I met her, but after I met Eva, I realized that I just didn't want to have kids without her," the Barbie actor told GQ in a 2023 interview. "And there were moments on The Place Beyond the Pines where we were pretending to be a family, and I didn't really want it to be pretend anymore. I realized that this would be a life I would be really lucky to have."
Eva also never thought about becoming a parent until she met Ryan. "Then it made sense for me to have…not kids, but his kids," the Hitch actress told Women's Health in 2019. "It was very specific to him."
