Eva Mendes showed support for her partner Ryan Gosling ahead of his performance at the star-studded 2024 Oscars on Sunday.
The actress, 50, shared a clip on Instagram showing her as she posed outside of Gosling's, 43, dressing room, though she chose to skip the red carpet, which Ryan attended with his sister.
Gosling is set to hit the stage and perform Oscar-nominated Barbie song 'I'm Just Ken' at the 96th Academy Awards. He is also nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and Barbie is up for a Best Picture Oscar. Eva also shared a snap of herself to her Instagram Stories, writing in Spanish, 'Siempre con mi hombre' which means 'Always by my man.'The actor walked the red carpet with his sister Mandi Gosling. Mandi wowed in a houndstooth pattern black and gold gown.
Ryan expressed his fury that the Academy had overlooked his female colleagues in a statement, but fell short of giving up his nomination in protest.In the video Eva sported a denim look, including a distressed jacket and jean button-up skirt.
'Against all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad, and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture and they made history,' he added.'Having said that, I am so happy for America Ferrera and the other incredible artists who contributed their talents to making this such a groundbreaking film,' Ryan said.
In January Mendes defended Gosling as she gushed she was 'so proud of my man' and recalled the 'Not My Ken' mockery he endured in the lead-up to the release of Barbie
