Eva Mendes Reacts to Ryan Gosling’s Hilarious Award Show Moment

Actress Eva Mendes had a delightful response to her partner Ryan Gosling‘s viral moment at the Critics Choice Awards in Los Angeles. Gosling, known for his deadpan ways, had a priceless reaction after winning the award for Best Song for his performance of the hilarious track “I'm Just Ken” from Greta Gerwig‘s Barbie movie. Mendes took to Instagram to share a GIF of the moment, expressing her love for her partner and finding it brilliantly funny.

The song “I’m Just Ken” beat out other contenders from the Barbie soundtrack, including songs by Jennifer Lopez and Cardi B. As the winners, songwriters Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt took the stage to accept the award, giving credit to Gosling for making the audience fall in love with the song through his unmatched performance.

Gosling’s confused and perhaps slightly annoyed expression upon hearing the news of the award has since become fodder for memes and gifs on social media. Nevertheless, Mendes adores her partner and shared her affectionate support in the form of a humorous Instagram post.

Aside from their moment at the Critics Choice Awards, Gosling was also honored at the festival with the Kirk Douglas Award for Excellence in Film. During his acceptance speech, he expressed gratitude for meeting Mendes, the woman of his dreams, and raising their two children together. Mendes, who is known for keeping her private life out of the spotlight, rarely comments on Gosling’s career, making her Instagram post even more special.

Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have been together for several years and have managed to keep their relationship relatively private. They have two daughters, whose names have not been publicly disclosed. Both Mendes and Gosling have successful careers in the entertainment industry, with Mendes previously working as a journalist for outlets such as Harper's Bazaar, ABC News, and Rolling Stone.
