Lucho’s camera hate vs. Magic’s model pose

Eva Mendes might keep her kids out of the spotlight, but she’s never shy about showing off her dogs!

The star took to Instagram this week to share some new photos of her furry friends, praising both of her pets for just how photogenic they are—even though not both of them are fans of the camera. “My Lucho can’t get out of the camera frame fast enough, and Magic can’t stop serving anytime, anywhere,” she wrote in the caption.

In the first photos, Lucho can be seen posing with his mom, but as the slides go on, he’s getting further and further out of frame. On the contrary, Magic is joining Mendes for what seems to be a professional photoshoot, proving she likes being in front of the camera a lot more than his brother.

Her relaxed demeanor struck fans as irresistibly charming.

Eva chose the song “Magic” by Pilot as a lighthearted touch to accompany the reel—matching the pup’s name and missing no opportunity for sweetness. Her caption reflects pure affection and excitement: “I’m crazy about her and excited to share life with Magic with you.”
