In a surprising revelation, a source exclusively tells In Touch that Eva Mendes once had a secret fling with none other than rock legend Mick Jagger. The whirlwind romance reportedly took place in 2010, during a brief period when both stars found themselves newly single.
A Brief but Intense Affair
According to the insider, the romance was short-lived but intense. “Eva and Mick’s crazy schedules only allowed them to be together for two or three days,” says the source. “But they definitely made the most of their time together and never left Mick’s NYC hotel suite.” At the time, Eva Mendes, now 50, had just split from her longtime boyfriend, producer George Augusto, while Mick Jagger, now 80, was on a break from designer L’Wren Scott, who sadly passed away in 2014.
Eva Mendes’ Wild Phase
“It was a crazy period for Eva,” the insider admits. “She was on a tear, going to lots of events and meeting tons of people.” This brief fling with the Rolling Stones frontman was just a chapter in what seemed to be a tumultuous time for the actress.
From Fling to Family
In 2011, Eva’s life took a significant turn when she began dating her The Place Beyond the Pines co-star, Ryan Gosling. The couple’s on-screen chemistry quickly turned into a real-life romance. “Eva’s real goal was always to settle down and become a mom,” notes the insider. “It wasn’t until she met Ryan that she was able to finally make that happen.”
A Private Family Life
Eva and Ryan’s relationship has always been notably private. The couple, who now share two daughters, Esmeralda Amada (born September 12, 2014) and Amada Lee (born April 29, 2016), have prioritized keeping their family life out of the public eye.

In a rare comment about their family dynamic, Eva explained the couple’s “nonverbal agreement” regarding their roles. During an appearance on the Today show, she shared, “It was, like, a no-brainer. I’m so lucky. And I was like, ‘If I can have this time with my children …’ And I still worked, I just didn’t act because acting takes you on locations, it takes you away.” She continued, “It was almost just like a nonverbal agreement that it was like, ‘OK he’s going to work and I’m going to work, I’m just going to work here.’”
Reflecting on Their Relationship
Eva and Ryan have maintained a strong partnership since the beginning. Reflecting on the 2012 Toronto Film Festival, where their relationship had to be kept professional, Eva admitted on The Kelly Clarkson Show how they tried to keep their romance under wraps. “Oh my God, that’s so old. That’s literally me going, ‘I’m not in love with him. What? I’m not in love.’ ‘Cause we were trying to be very professional,” Mendes reminisced. She then gushed, “Look at him though.”
