Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling began dating in 2011 when filming the movie "The Place Beyond the Pines."
They've maintained an extremely private relationship since and rarely make public appearances together.
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have been together for over a decade, but they've gone out of their way to keep their relationship far from the public eye.
The couple has only appeared on the red carpet together while promoting their movie "The Place Beyond the Pines" in 2012, and Instagram users still won't find a recent photo of the duo on Mendes' social media (Gosling doesn't have a public account).
Although the pair's romance has primarily flourished behind closed doors, they've proven that their relationship remains strong by issuing rare comments about their love for each other and their family.
Here's everything we know about Gosling and Mendes' romance — from being on-screen costars to becoming "helicopter parents" to two daughters.
