Eva Mendes recently shared her humorous experience of traveling with her daughters, Esmeralda and Amada, and their numerous stuffed animals. In a series of Instagram Stories, Mendes joked about how these toys have become a significant part of her carry-on luggage, quipping, 'Is this the new norm?' She noted that she had managed to convince her daughters to bring only six stuffed animals instead of twelve. Mendes and her partner, Ryan Gosling, who typically maintain a low profile, were spotted together at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, where they attended various gymnastics events with their children. Despite their celebrity status, Mendes revealed that their daughters are largely unimpressed by their parents' fame. This candid moment showcases the relatable challenges of parenting while also highlighting Mendes' commitment to family life.
