Eva Mendes set hearts racing when she posted a series of intimate black-and-white photos dedicated to her partner, Ryan Gosling.
The Hitch star took to Instagram with the simple caption: “For my Valentines” alongside a sultry set of shots.
In the photos, Eva lounges on a bed in an oversized graphic T-shirt, its shadowy print and relaxed fit giving the images an effortlessly sultry vibe.
In one striking image, she stares off into the distance with her tousled hair falling around her face, the soft lighting and black-and-white tones perfectly framing her face.
Another frame sees her mid-movement atop the rumpled sheets, her carefree energy and playful spirit radiating through the lens.
The choice of wardrobe, a statement tee with a bold graphic, paired with minimal background and styling, gives the series a personal, almost candid feel.

The former actress has long been famously private about her family life, rarely making public appearances with Ryan, and keeping their two daughters completely out of the public eye.
The doting mom has been in a relationship with the Barbie actor since 2012, after meeting on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines, and they share two daughters, Esmeralda, 11, and Amada, nine.

“When my 11 year old asks me if she can have a phone,” she then wrote in her caption, prompting fans to take to the comments section under the post and relate to her.
“You go girl!! I would wait until she’s older too! So much time for cell phones, only so much time for being a kid!” one wrote, as others followed suit with: “Exactly my reaction!” and: “Delay for as long as possible! Kids just need to be kids,” as well as: “Show the little one the LANDLINE!”

In a similar 2023 Instagram post also sharing a GIF of herself gesturing “no,” she wrote: “When my kids ask me if they’re old enough to go on the internet, social media or anything requiring wifi.”
The post raised both questions and praise, and she further gave insight into her fans responding to fans’ comments. One fan commented: “When I have kids, I intend to do the same. At what age do you think you’ll allow them to use the internet/social media?” to which Eva replied with: “Honestly I don’t know.”
