Fans were recently treated to a rare sighting of Eva Mendes on the “Today” show as she celebrated her 50th birthday on March 5th. During the interview, she discussed her family life and her decision to focus on motherhood over her acting career.
While fans appreciated hearing about Eva’s personal life, many were taken aback by her noticeably different appearance. Online speculation quickly followed, with some suggesting that she may have undergone cosmetic procedures, including a facelift.
Viewers observed changes like raised eyebrows, a smoother forehead, and fuller cheeks, likely due to fillers. Additionally, some noticed a shift in her eye shape, giving her a more “foxy” appearance.
The interview also took fans on a nostalgic journey, recalling Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes’ first date at Disneyland in 2011, their romantic trips to Paris and New York, and their mutual desire to have children.
Their wish came true in 2014 with the birth of their daughter Esmeralda, followed by their second daughter Amada in 2016. After welcoming their second child, Eva chose to step away from acting, feeling that raising her children was a responsibility best handled by parents.
