Let’s talk about Ryan Gosling. You know him as the charming leading man in Hollywood blockbusters, but there’s another side to this guy—one that’s all about family. Since welcoming his daughters Esmeralda and Amada with partner Eva Mendes in 2014 and 2016, Ryan has made it clear where his priorities lie. Career? Important, sure. But being a dad? That's the real star role now.
According to a source speaking to Life & Style—in the latest issue, currently on newsstands—this Oscar-nominated actor, now 38, has completely shifted gears. "His priorities have definitely flipped," the insider reveals. "Family is first now, career second. Ryan loves being a dad to his daughters more than anyone knows. He’s always been great with kids, but having Esmeralda and Amada has completely transformed his perspective on life. They’ve changed everything for him."
Life Beyond the Spotlight: A Dad's Priorities
Ryan and Eva, 44, aren’t just partners in love—they’re partners in parenting. They make a point of giving each other space when they need it. "He and Eva are all about making sure the other gets some alone time, away from the kids," the source explains. "Ryan is hands-on. He’ll take one of the girls—or both—out for the day and create real quality moments with them. He truly is an amazing dad." It’s not just talk; Ryan was recently spotted out with Esmeralda, 4, at a bookstore in Los Angeles. Actions speak louder than words, and this guy’s actions scream "dedicated father."

Even though Ryan’s doing all he can to keep family front and center, Eva once admitted that her daughters see her in a totally different light compared to their dad—even though they’re both actors. "I’m just Mom to them, and they never see me get ready for anything," Eva told Entertainment Weekly. "It’s very important for me that they see me as just Mom, and I’m just, you know, a messy mom. When I go out with them, I really don’t put much emphasis on how I look—not yet." It’s clear that this couple is focused on raising their kids with authenticity and love.
And here’s the cutest part: Eva’s daughters think their dad works in space because of his role in First Man. "They loved it! And they now think Poppy’s an astronaut," she said with a laugh. "We haven’t corrected them yet." Who wouldn’t want to hold onto that kind of innocence for as long as possible?
