"We need to put the kids to bed": Eva Mendes calls Ryan Gosling home post Oscars as she poses in pink jacket

Actress Eva Mendes took to Instagram to call her longtime partner Ryan Gosling home following the Oscars 2024. Gosling was attending the 96th Academy Awards ceremony on March 10 as he was nominated for his superhit film Barbie. Mendes, who was absent from the ceremony, was seemingly at home with their kids as per her social media post.

Posing in a pink bedazzled jacket that Gosling wore during his performance at the show, Eva Mendes uploaded the photo with an accompanying caption:

"You took Ken all the way to the Oscar’s, RG. Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed."

Ryan Gosling was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role as Ken in Greta Gerwig's 2023 blockbuster, Barbie. His song from the same movie I'm Just Ken was also nominated for Best Original Song. Neither won the Oscar in their respective fields.
