Eva Mendes continues to display her affection for Ryan Gosling, literally, with her tattoo dedicated to him. Four years after first unveiling the ink, the Ghost Rider actress recently shared a heartfelt detail about her only tattoo—a tribute that features the words “de Gosling” on the inside of her wrist.
Lovingly Inspired Ink
Mendes, who has been in a relationship with Gosling since their meeting during the filming of 2011’s The Place Beyond the Pines, gave a glimpse of her tattoo in a series of black-and-white photos posted on Instagram on August 28. One eagle-eyed fan couldn’t help but comment, “The tattoo, I can’t!”
A Meaningful Tribute
In response, Mendes wrote, “It’s the only one I have, the only one I’ve ever wanted,” adding a heart-eyed emoji to emphasize her sentiment. The tattoo translates to “of Gosling” in several languages, symbolizing her deep love and commitment.
Timing of the Tattoo Reveal
This isn’t the first time Mendes has shared glimpses of her tattoo. She first publicly showed it off in 2022, with various appearances in her Instagram posts throughout that summer and fall. However, Mendes hinted that she might have gotten the tattoo even earlier than most fans realize.
Family Matters
At 52 years old, Mendes is not just known for her acting but also for being a dedicated mom to her two daughters, Esmeralda, 11, and Amada, 10, whom she shares with Gosling. Through her tattoo, Mendes reinforces the loving bond they share, both as partners and parents.
