Move over Ken Doll, Ryan Gosling is stepping away from the spotlight! Fresh off his incredible “I’m Just Ken” performance at the Oscars and a whirlwind year that included the SAG-AFTRA strikes, Barbie movie mania, and an Oscar nomination, it seems Ryan is ready to prioritize another role – being an awesome dad.
Family First: According to insiders, Ryan’s putting Hollywood on hold to dedicate more time to his daughters with longtime partner Eva Mendes. This move echoes Eva’s own decision to step back from acting a few years ago to focus on motherhood. An inside source told Life & Style, “Ryan’s in high demand, but he wants to make sure he has all the time in the world for his girls. He’s looking to take at least two years off and really focus on them.”
Walking the Walk: Actions speak louder than words, and Ryan’s project choices seem to confirm this shift. Right now, his IMDb page only shows one upcoming project – a sci-fi film titled “Project Hail Mary” with directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. With no other actors attached and limited details available, it seems like we might have to wait a while to see Ryan back on screen.
Following Eva’s Lead: Eva’s decision to prioritize her family clearly resonated with Ryan. In 2020, she opened up about her break from acting, stating, “As a mother now, there are many roles I won’t do. There are many subject matters that I don’t want to be involved with, so it limits my choices and I’m fine with that. I have to set an example for my girls now.”
A Love Story That Began On-Set: For those unfamiliar with their story, Ryan and Eva’s love blossomed on the set of “The Place Beyond the Pines” after years of friendship. They are now proud parents to two daughters, Esmeralda (9) and Amada (7).
The Joys of Fatherhood: While both Ryan and Eva are notoriously private about their personal lives, Ryan did gush about the joys of fatherhood a few years back. He told People, “It sounds so clichéd, but I never knew that life could be this fun and this great.”
Ryan Gosling’s decision to prioritize his family is a heartwarming reminder that even the biggest stars value the simple joys of fatherhood. We can’t wait to see him back on screen someday, but for now, we fully support his daddy duties!
