Fans of Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling, who have become over the last decade well-accustomed to their penchant for privacy, were left shocked when on Thursday, March 5, both of them appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
The surprise appearance was only about their fifth public appearance together ever; they were first photographed together at the premiere of their film The Place Beyond the Pines in 2012, and later only at another related event, exiting a Saturday Night Live after party in 2017, and at the 2024 Paris Olympics with their daughters, Esmeralda and Amada.
However, much as they have both emphasized their rebuff of public appearances together, they have over the years not shied away from making public yet subtle displays of their support for each other, particularly via clothing. See some of the moments below.
