Ryan Gosling revealed that parenting with Eva Mendes during the pandemic was “a tough time.”
In a new interview with GQ magazine, explains that it was hard on his young kids.
“Our kids are young, so it was a tough time for them to be separated from other kids, and not being able to see family and whatnot,” said Gosling, who shares two kids – daughters Esmeralda, 7, and Amada, 5 – with Mendes.
As Page Six explained, having to constantly come up with stuff to do to entertain the little ones sometimes meant utilizing their acting chops. “I think Eva and I did more acting in quarantine than we have in our whole careers,” the star joked.

Gosling spoke with the outlet last Friday at an event in Beverly Hills promoting Tag Heuer, the Swedish watch company.
Tying it all together like a real pro, the “La La land” actor said that time has been on his mind a lot lately. “I have two kids and they’re growing up fast. So I keep my eye on the clock more than I used to.”
“For my first Father’s Day, Eva gave me a watch,” he explained. “The brand doesn’t matter. The symbol was what mattered. It meant, ‘You’re on the clock now.’”

For her part, Mendes has seemed to take the claustrophobic effects of quarantining as a learning tool. She recalled how one of her daughters got mad at her for being on the phone too much, which prompted her to apologize.
“And I promised her I’d be mindful,” she continued. “I realized that just because I’m always home with them doesn’t mean I’m always present.”
At least we know she'll always be on time.
