Eva Mendes says she has ‘clear boundaries’ when it comes to posting about Ryan Gosling and their kids

She’s always been very private when it comes to speaking about her family life with Ryan Gosling and their two children. 

And Eva Mendes elaborated on why via an Instagram post on Saturday evening. 

Replying to a comment, the 46-year-old said she’s always had a ‘clear boundary’ about what’s off limits and what she will share. 

Boundaries: Eva Mendes opened up about keeping ‘clear boundaries’ when it comes to talking about her partner Ryan Gosling and their kids on social media, on Saturday

‘I have always had a clear boundary when it comes to my man and my kids,’ she began. 

‘I’ll talk about them, of course, with limits, but I won’t post pictures of our daily life.’ 

‘And since my children are little and don’t understand what posting their image really means, I don’t have their consent. And I won’t post their image until they’re old enough to give consent.’  

Eva shares daughters, Esmeralda Amada, five, and Amada Lee, three, with Ryan.

Eva and Ryan began dating after they met on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines back in 2011.    

They went on to welcome Esmeralda in 2014 and Amada in 2016.
