In another recent interview on the 'Kyle and Jackie O Show', the 'Ghost Rider' actress was asked about her "de Gosling" tattoo that she showed off on social media. According to Harper’s Bazaar, in Hispanic culture, women get their husband's last name with their original name along with "de" or "of." Thus, her name could possibly translate to Eva Mendes de Gosling.
Mendes was then asked about her marital status by Britanny Hockley. "There’s a rumor that you guys might have secretly tied the knot. Is that true?" she asked. To which Mendes replied, "But who says we weren’t already? I like to keep it all mysterious. I’m a very mysterious woman." Addressing the tattoo, she said, "I do have a tattoo. It’s just a press-on…no, it’s not a press-on. But I got it years ago. I posted a picture and I’ve gotten a lot of funny questions."
The 'Hitch' star also revealed to the DailyMail Australia on Friday, November 18, how she and Gosling parent their two daughters, eight year-old Esmeralda and six-year-old Amada, together. "I’m sure just because we have our own, like we’re our own person and then we come with our own strengths and stuff, but we’re pretty much on the same terms, on like how we parent," Mendes reportedly said, adding, "So it’s pretty cool. I know someone earlier said, ‘Who’s good cop? Who’s bad cop?’ I’m like, there is none. I have never thought of it that way. But like, we’re talkers. We like to talk it all out with the kids. We like to make them feel like they have a voice and that they’re heard, you know?"
