Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have always managed to keep their relationship on the DL, and because we don't see much of them together with their children, some people think it's fair to assume that Ryan "doesn't help" raise their kids.
But Eva recently clapped back and set the record straight!
She seems to limit how much access her followers have to her personal life, which is a totally fair thing to do.
For those of you who are foggy on the details of Eva and Ryan's relationship, here's some background info.
From there, their professional relationship quickly turned into a romantic one.
Obviously, fans freaked out and were super happy for them.
We love a love story!
A source revealed in a statement to People that Eva "just hasn't ever wanted anyone beyond her close friends and family knowing more than they had to, and Ryan is certainly private and always has been."
In March, Eva replied to a fan's comment asking why there's no sign of Ryan anywhere on her social media, revealing she plans to keep it that way!
"My man and kids are private."
Unfortunately, to some people, this gives off the impression that Ryan "doesn't help" raise their children.
"Tired Mama. Stayed up laaate trying to make my baby’s 4th birthday extra special since she won’t see the family," she captioned the photo.
"Thanks for your honest comment," Eva replied, "So here’s my very honest answer."
"I love women. I’m a girl's girl. I love connecting to women. That’s mainly why I have this page," she wrote.
Nor was she trying to exclude any other fathers that may follow her on social media.
Things just got taken out of context.
"It’s just me connecting to other women but in no way does it de-value what papas do."
Which is totally in her right!
"I don’t want to involve him or how he parents because I don’t feel comfortable crossing that boundary that I have set for myself."
"I feel it’s best that I continue to disclose what I’m comfortable with but not involve him or my kids too much."
"It’s not about being cagey or weird, it’s just about staying private in a public space."
Since she's a celebrity, she is always in the limelight.
Her Instagram is the one thing that she can completely control.
She knows what she's doing.
