Eva Mendes Praises Ryan Gosling’s Cooking: It’s Showing My Daughters ‘There Are No Gender-Specific Roles’

usmagazine.com:

Sharing the load! Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling make sure they split all parenting responsibilities — especially if it helps teach their daughters how to break down stereotypes. “I’m not an amazing cook — I leave that to Ryan,” Mendes, 46, told Forbes in an interview published June 2, 2022. “Hopefully it’s showing my girls that there are no gender-specific roles that one must take on and that we are partners in this.

That we’re all partners in this, not just Ryan and I, but our children as well. It’s a team effort every day.”The Training Day star added that when daughters Esmerelda, 7, and Amada, 5, see her and the Barbie actor, 41, “switching off doing certain things that aren’t specific to stereotypical gender things,”  it “creates balance and harmony” within the household.

This isn’t the first time Mendes has gushed over her beau’s culinary skills. The Hitch actress took to social media in 2020 to pen a sweet tribute to the LaLa Land star’s talent. “Ryan is an amazing chef AND baker.

For reals. Incredible. No joke. I’m not sure that what I do is cooking. It’s more like steaming veggies and juicing and making rice.
