Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes fulfill birthday dream for their daughter Amada

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes chose the ultimate celebration spot for their daughter Amada’s ninth birthday. The parents of two took their children to Disneyland to enjoy a fun-filled day.

The famously private couple tried to keep things low-key but couldn’t completely escape attention as they enjoyed the rides and walked through 

Magical Family Day

Ryan and Eva tried to blend in with the crowd. Both wore sunglasses and casual hats, aiming for an incognito vibe. But eagle-eyed fans still recognized them as they moved through the park. 

Despite the attention, Ryan Gosling was fully in dad mode throughout the day, rarely letting go of Amada’s hand as they navigated the park.

To keep things smooth and manageable, the family was also accompanied by two bodyguards and a VIP tour guide, which helped them to move efficiently between rides.

Back in 2022, he shared his favorite Spanish word. He revealed it was “Coño,” explaining, “You can’t use it incorrectly. It’s everything, it’s Coño … Coño is always there for you.” 

Gosling also said he could happily eat Eva’s mom’s arroz con leche for the rest of his life.

Speaking of Eva’s Mom…

The star took to social media to share a childhood memory involving her mom and Venezuelan singer José Luis Rodríguez. “Mi Mami y el puma! My first concert was not New Kids on the Block… it was Latin American pop sensation EL PUMA! I was mortified… and now it’s one of my favorite memories with my Mami,” Eva wrote.

Known for his hit songs “Dueño de nada” and “Agárrense de las Manos,” José Luis Rodríguez, nicknamed El Puma, is a Latino music icon whose influence shaped Eva’s early upbringing.
