Congratulations to the incredible stunt community!”

In a lighthearted manner, Mendes also added, “BTW, this is the last time I’m posting a picture of my man with the supremely talented Emily Blunt. Enough already!”

Privacy in the Public Eye
In 2020, Mendes addressed their choice to keep their relationship private. This came after online comments questioned Gosling’s involvement as a father. Mendes clarified on social media in April 2020, “I refrain from discussing Ryan and his admirable qualities as a father to protect our privacy. I prefer to share what I am comfortable with but avoid involving him or our children excessively. It’s not about secrecy or being peculiar; it’s simply about maintaining privacy in a public world. I hope that clarifies my perspective.”
Balancing Hollywood and Family Life
Sources indicated in January 2022 that Mendes and Gosling find their relationship thrives when the Barbie star dedicates significant time to being a stay-at-home parent. According to a source, “They feel more connected when they are away from Hollywood, potentially in Canada or further from Los Angeles, perhaps in areas like Santa Barbara or further up the coast.” The source added, “Ironically, their love story began while filming Place Beyond the Pines in upstate New York, which embodies the kind of environment where they would love to relax and raise their children.”
