Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes celebrate daughter’s birthday with rare outing
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes made a rare public outing on Wednesday, taking their daughter Amada to Disneyland to celebrate her ninth birthday, at the very theme park where they were first spotted together as a couple more than a decade ago.
Gosling, 45, was every inch the devoted dad as he held Amada’s hand while strolling through the park in Anaheim, California, with Mendes, 52, walking closely behind them.
Their eldest daughter Esmeralda, 11, did not appear to be part of the trip.
The outing carries a certain symmetry.
Gosling and Mendes first met on the set of their 2012 thriller The Place Beyond the Pines, with filming beginning in August 2011.
Just a month later, the pair were spotted at Disneyland together, prompting romance rumours.
An onlooker described them at the time as looking “like a dating couple, they always walked very closely, holding hands and their arms touching side by side,” according to PEOPLE.
Wednesday’s visit, then, brought things full circle.
The intensely private couple have kept their family life largely out of the spotlight over the years, with rumours of a marriage occasionally surfacing, particularly after Mendes referred to Gosling as her “husband” in 2022.
They have never publicly confirmed or denied whether they are married.
Gosling has previously spoken about how meeting Mendes changed his outlook on family entirely.
“I wasn’t thinking about kids before I met her, but after I met Eva, I realized that I just didn’t want to have kids without her,” he told GQ in 2023.
He also said that before they met, “I was looking for her, you know? It all makes sense now.”
The birthday outing comes as Gosling continues to promote Project Hail Mary, his latest film, for which he has said his daughters serve as his most trusted critics.
“My kids have seen multiple cuts. They give me multiple notes. They’re basically the only critics I care about, and they are very critical and very honest,” he told Access in February.

Are Bella Hadid and ex Adan Banuelos getting back together?
Bella Hadid and her former flame Adan Banuelos have sparked rumours that they might be getting back together after being spotted looking very close in Texas.
The 29-year-old supermodel and the 37-year-old professional equestrian were seen together about two weeks ago at a celebrity cutting event held at Taylor Sheridan’s ranch.
Photos from the day show the pair wearing cowboy hats and chatting intimately, with both appearing relaxed and happy to be in each other’s company.
While representatives for the two have stayed quiet on the matter, the sighting has fans wondering if they have managed to move past their previously “tumultuous” relationship.
This unexpected reunion comes just a few months after it was reported that the couple had gone their separate ways due to their vastly different lifestyles.
Insiders previously suggested that Hadid’s high-profile upbringing as the daughter of Mohamed and Yolanda Hadid clashed with Banuelos’ more unassuming life in the world of rodeos.
Although she reportedly tried to integrate him into her world, sources claimed the transition was simply too much for him.
The split was reportedly complicated further by the fact that they had invested in million-dollar horses together during their time as a couple.
The history between the two has certainly had its dramatic moments, particularly around the time of their alleged breakup in late January.
Hadid and Banuelos first went public with their romance back in October 2023 when they were seen kissing in Fort Worth, and the supermodel later “hard-launched” the relationship with a series of sweet Valentine’s Day photos in 2024.
Despite the reported friction and his recent legal run-in, this latest appearance at Taylor Sheridan’s ranch suggests that the bond between the model and the rider might be stronger than people thought.
Whether they are officially back on or just friendly exes remains to be seen, but they certainly looked like a couple again under the Texas sun.

Jon Cryer breaks silence over relationship with Charlie Sheen
Jon Cryer has opened up about his complicated relationship with Charlie Sheen, revealing that participating in the Netflix documentary about his former co-star helped him process feelings he had been carrying for years, including frustration not just with Sheen, but with the public that enjoyed his downfall.
Speaking on The View on Friday, Cryer reflected on his decision to take part in aka Charlie Sheen, which covered the actor’s career, relationships and addiction struggles.
“I had a lot of mixed feelings about being a part of that because obviously he’s a very complicated guy and we had a complicated relationship. But mostly I realized that I wasn’t mad at him anymore: I was still kind of mad at America.”
The reason for that frustration, Cryer explained, was the glee with which some people responded to Sheen’s public unravelling.
“I knew him as a friend, as a coworker, so it was really painful to see all that and see that craziness and see a lot of people enjoying it. So that’s part of why I kind of wanted to, obviously, say my side of the story.”
The two actors starred together on Two and a Half Men for eight seasons from 2003 to 2011, before Sheen was fired following public meltdowns, clashes with creator Chuck Lorre and severe addiction struggles.
Sheen had accused Cryer of being a “turncoat, a traitor, a troll” for not reaching out during that period.
Ashton Kutcher replaced Sheen for the show’s final four seasons until it ended in 2015.
In the documentary, Cryer also spoke honestly about the pay disparity between them.
Sheen was earning close to $2 million per episode in his final year, while Cryer was on around $550,000.
He compared Sheen’s escalating contract demands to a geopolitical strategy.
“The dictator of North Korea was a guy named Kim Jong-Il. He acted crazy all the time and thus got enormous amounts of aid from countries who were so scared of him that they would shovel money at him. Well, that’s what happened here. His negotiations went off the charts because his life was falling apart. Me, whose life was pretty good at that time, I got a third of that.”
The documentary appears to have had a quietly reconciling effect.
Sheen texted Cryer afterwards to thank him for taking part, and Cryer said he would be open to continuing to rebuild the relationship.
“Yeah, I would. It’s funny because every now and then an article comes out that we’re arguing, and it’s just not the case.”
Sheen, for his part, said last month: “Jon’s a lovely man and a very talented guy.”

‘I was looking for it’
Valerie Bertinelli is back on screen after nearly five years away from acting, and she chose a role that required her to strip away every defence she had.
The actress, 65, spoke to PEOPLE at Lifetime’s screening and panel for Love, Again at the Television Academy in North Hollywood on Thursday, 30 April, opening up about what drew her to the project and what it took to deliver it.
It started with the script.
“Nancy Silvers wrote a ridiculously beautiful, human, humorous, heartbreaking script. And it was something that I’ve been looking for but I didn’t realize I was looking for it,” she said.
In the film, Bertinelli plays Caroline, a woman navigating the devastating reality of her husband Henry’s early-onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis, and eventually facing the possibility of love again after loss.
It is a role that demanded a great deal.
“I could really be that vulnerable and really let down every single guard that I have as an actor, as a human being, and just be there and just do it,” she said.
“It was scary because I hadn’t done any acting within four, almost five years… I just really wanted to do the role justice.”
Her preparation was less about technique and more about honesty.
“I just worked really hard at taking down my walls and all the barriers that I have developed over the many decades… and all of the grief and all of the life experiences that I’ve had. I just wanted to have them all right there on the surface and just be raw.”
The story also resonated personally.
Bertinelli, who has been open about her own journey of self-discovery in recent years, saw something of herself in Caroline, and found an unexpected connection between the role and the book she was writing at the same time.
“I don’t know that I would ever want to go through what Caroline went through… but I think because I was writing my book during the middle of this, it really helped me open up and be a little bit more brave.”
Her costar Eric McCormack, who plays Leo, a figure of connection and comfort for Caroline, praised Bertinelli’s presence on set without hesitation.
“She’s a leader. We talk in the business about number one on the call sheet, and being a good one… someone that sets the tone and sets the standard. And that’s what she does. She’s a pro.”
Love, Again premieres on Lifetime on Saturday, 9 May at 8pm ET.
