Ryan Gosling joins Eva Mendes as she celebrates birthday with family in Los Angeles

So no wonder Ryan Gosling looked so excited to be celebrating partner Eva Mendes birthday in Los Angeles on Monday, Joinfo.com reports with reference to Mail Online.

The couple were joined by family members as they prepared to enjoy an intimate bash surrounded by their loved ones.

Back in 2007 she said: ‘I don’t wanna have kids… I love the little suckers. They’re so cute. But I love sleep so much, and I worry about everything.

‘I feel like the institution of marriage is a very archaic kinda thing. I don’t think it fits in my world today.’

Thankfully it seems Ryan shares her view, as he previously said how much he values his status as a poster boy for the modern feminist man.

The Crazy, Stupid, Love star said: ‘I do have a little girl now and (feminism is) important to me. These things are becoming… not more important to me, but more important in general, I think.’
