Eva Mendes has addressed growing speculation about her relationship status and dropped her biggest hint yet that she has secretly tied the knot with long-term partner Ryan Gosling.
The Ghost Rider star, 48, is currently in Australia as 42-year-old Ryan films his new movie, The Fall Guy, down under. Eva seemed to spill the beans on their relationship during an interview with Channel Nine's Today Show.
The actress talked about her charity work before casually referred to Ryan as her "husband" and continued the interview without hesitating.
"Everyone is so welcoming here and my husband Ryan is here and we are having the best time," she told hosts Karl Stefanovic and Allison Langdon.
Eva recently caused a stir among fans after posting a snap showing off a tattoo on her inner wrist which reads "de Gosling", with some people suggesting she has taken Ryan's last name.
She also made remarks during an episode of the Kyle and Jackie O show, during which co-host Brittany Hockley asked: "There’s a rumour that you guys might have secretly tied the knot. Is that true?"
Eva replied: "But who says we weren’t already? I like to keep it all mysterious. I’m a very mysterious woman."
Speaking about the tattoo, she added: "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."
Ryan and Eva started dating in 2011 after working together on the film The Place Beyond the Pines. They share two daughters together — Esmerelda, eight, and Amada, six.
Ryan had previously dated his Murder by Numbers co-star Sandra Bullock and his The Notebook co-star Rachel McAdams.
Eva was in a relationship with filmmaker George Augusto prior to her romance with Ryan.
She previously admitted that she wasn't into the idea of motherhood until she met Ryan.
"I never wanted babies before until I fell in love with Ryan, and it kind of worked out to where I was 40 and having my first baby," she said in an interview with People.
