As I keep saying, there is something “literally” fishy about Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes and their undercover pregnancy. I just keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, for one piece of information to be released which will be just the gossip I need to make sense out of all of this. Thus far, the tabloids have claimed that Ryan and Eva are both thrilled, that Eva is the one who wants an undercover pregnancy and Ryan is the one ensuring her privacy. So what am I missing? Well, this Radar report might have some interesting details (if you believe Radar).
Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling‘s baby news stunned the world — and the couple themselves! RadarOnline.com has learned that Mendes’ pregnancy was totally unplanned, and blindsided Gosling because their relationship had hit a rough patch just before Mendes shared the news.
When Mendes, 40, discovered she was pregnant, “It was completely unplanned,” an insider told Radar. “Ryan was surprised, especially because they had broken up early last year, only to get back together.”
The stars first hooked up filming The Place Beyond the Pines three years ago, and have been through their shares of highs and lows since. Said the source of their rocky relationship, “Their disagreements always come back to a central issue: Eva wants to marry Ryan, but so far, he has resisted.”
Now, however, pregnant Mendes has moved in with Gosling at his bachelor pad, according to the source. “The house is quite small, and only has two bedrooms,” the source revealed. “Eva has been looking for a bigger house to live in with Ryan once the baby is born.”
As for Ryan, the insider told Radar that despite the element of surprise, “Ryan is excited to be a father, and will be very protective.”
That doesn’t mean it’s been smooth sailing lately, however.
In recent days, the source said, “Eva has been upset with Ryan over his reaction to comments Nick [Cassavetes, director of The Notebook], publicly made about Ryan feuding on set with Rachel McAdams.”
After the comments, the source said, “Ryan called Nick and voiced his displeasure about him talking about his ex-girlfriend. Ryan is very protective of his privacy, and of the people around him. Rachel shouldn’t have to be asked about it as she is out promoting a new movie.”
The source claimed, “Rachel is definitely a source of ongoing tension between Ryan and Eva.”
I’ll buy that the pregnancy was unplanned. But I don’t buy that Eva dreams of being a bride and Ryan was the dude who didn’t want to put a ring on it. I just don’t think that’s their dynamic. If anything, Ryan seems more old-fashioned about marriage and babies, and my guess is that he’d like to marry Eva, maybe even before she gives birth. But why would she? She got what she wanted – Ryan attached to her forever (even though they’d already broken up at least once).
