Eva Mendes Says She Felt “Lost” After Having Her Two Kids

Buy Me A Coffee

Eva Mendes, aka the effortlessly cool 50-year-old Hitch star and half of the Ryan Gosling Dream Team, took a break from being fabulous to chat with Drew Barrymore on The Drew Barrymore Show this past Thursday (Sept. 19). And spoiler alert: they got real about the chaotic magic of mom life.

First of all, Evaโ€™s got two little humans โ€” Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, 8 โ€” with her equally famous and genetically blessed partner, Ryan โ€œHey Girlโ€ Gosling. Drew, whoโ€™s mom to daughters Olive (11) and Frankie (10), kicked off the convo by admitting that when she became a mom, she felt, well, kind of like a lost sock in the laundry. (You know, that one sock thatโ€™s somewhere in the universe but definitely not in your drawer.)

“I felt a little lost when I had kids,โ€ Drew said. โ€œI was like, um, how do I raise these mini people and also be a functioning human myself? What about you, Eva? Was your brain also trying to reboot like a 90s computer?”

Eva, in true cool-mom fashion, responded like a zen master. “Honestly, I didnโ€™t feel lost. I was like, โ€˜I got this.โ€™ Then, BAM! Plot twist! I did feel lost. Itโ€™s like, who am I now that my kids are kinda independent mini adults? But you know, theyโ€™re 8 and 10, so obviously theyโ€™re not making dinner or filing taxes yet, but theyโ€™re doing their own thing.”

Eva continued, โ€œThey donโ€™t need me for every little thing anymore, so now itโ€™s like, what do I do with my hands? But I love talking to them about literally everything, so Iโ€™m basically living the dream.โ€

Also, important fashion note for the day: Eva Mendes was slaying in Stella McCartney. As if there was any doubt.
