American actress Eva Mendes was born in Miami, Florida, on March 5, 1974, to Cuban parents Eva Pérez Suárez and Juan Carlos Méndez. Even though she was born in Miami, Florida, she considers herself a Cuban.
As a matter of fact, in 2019, Mendes told CBS’s talk show ”The Talk,”
“I’m Cuban, and we’re trying to teach the kids Spanish, and it’s harder than I thought,“ the 48-year-old actress explained. “I speak Spanglish, and that’s what they’re picking up. So it’s adorable, but it’s technically not a language. It’s Spanglish.”
Eva de la Caridad Méndez is Eva’s birthname. After her parents’ separation, her mother, Eva Pérez Suárez, raised her in the Los Angeles Silver Lake neighborhood.

Eva’s mother, Eva Pérez Suárez, worked at Mann’s Chinese Theatre and an aerospace company. Her father, Juan Carlos Méndezran, ran a meat distribution business.
Mendes grew up a Roman Catholic, and she even contemplated becoming a Catholic nun at one point.
Mendes had one older brother, Juan Carlos Méndez Jr. (1963–2016), who passed away from throat cancer. She has an older sister, Janet Levy, and a younger paternal half-brother, Carlos Alberto “Carlo” Méndez.
Eva’s Spouse, Ryan, Adores Spanish Food & Language
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are one of the most private couples in Hollywood.
However, in an acceptance speech after winning a Golden Globe for Ryan’s performance in ”La La Land (2016)“, he said,
”I just would like to try and thank one person properly and say that, while I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second, and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer,” he said. “If she hadn’t taken all that on so I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me. So sweetheart, thank you.”
Eva has two daughters, Esmeralda Amada Gosling (the older daughter, born in September 2014) and Amada Lee Gosling (the youngest daughter, born in April 2016), with Canadian actor Ryan Gosling.
Eva is a highly private person. She doesn’t share personal photos with her partner or kids online.
Ryan has been picking up Spanish lately, as his wife Eva is fluent in it. Gosling once admitted that the only thing he would eat for the rest of his life is Eva’s mom’s “Arroz con Leche (Rice Pudding).”
