Eva Mendes Reveals She Forbids Smartphones & Social Media For Her and Ryan Gosling’s Daughters

Eva Mendes is getting candid about setting boundaries for her daughters. The author spoke with the U.K.’s “The Sunday Times” in an interview published Oct. 17, in which she discussed many personal topics, including her motherhood do’s-and-don’ts. The former actress revealed that her and longtime partner Ryan Gosling’s two girls, Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, 8, are home schooled, with social media and smartphones being forbidden. “Putting my kid on the internet and being like, ‘Oh, search something,’ that to me is equivalent to telling her, ‘Oh, just go down the street in the middle of the night. You’ll be fine.’ I know that sounds extreme, but that’s what I feel,” she told the outlet. Plus, the 50-year-old shared that the one thing that could convince her to return to an acting project would be to star alongside Ryan again. “That’s the one thing I would love to do.”
