Actress Eva Mendes appears on the April 2017 cover of Shape magazine. In the magazine interview, Mendes addresses her absence during award season and why she didn't accompany her longtime partner Ryan Gosling. She says, "What people don't know about me is that I love being home." Mendes and Gosling are the parents to two daughters, 2-year-old Esmeralda and 11-year-old Amada. "Mendes and Gosling are notoriously private and have never brought their kids to public events."
