Ryan Gosling & Eva Mendes Make Their First Television Appearance In 10 Years Together

There are a few celebrity couples more mysterious yet still trendy than that of Ryan and Eva, who have been together since they met on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011.

 

Despite the Notebook actor continuing to get work, the pair have kept their relationship and family life as private as possible, hardly stepping out on the red carpet together or starring in any more movies or shows together. These days, as Ryan takes on new films, Eva has been writing children's books, modeling, and taking care of their two daughters.

 

However, things took a turn this week when they made a surprise appearance together during the Oscar nominees' episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. At one point during his interview, Ryan acknowledged that it was his wife's birthday, when he and the show host decided to surprise her by bringing her out on stage and presenting a "Happy Birthday Eva" banner.

Fans React To Ryan & Eva's Appearance And Speculate They've Used Botox

After the famous couple was on television together for the first time in over ten years, the internet, especially their fans, went wild and were very happy to see them together on their screens.

 

However, there were also numerous fans and internet users who felt that they looked extremely different, and it wasn't just that they had aged. Therefore, there was a lot of speculation that the two of them had been receiving Botox injections and filler. While they've both faced these accusations in the past, they only increased after seeing them on The Tonight Show.

 

"I mourn for his original face," wrote an Instagram user, as another added that it "does not look natural."

 

"They both look like they've gotten work done on their faces," commented a user.

 

"The Botox is strong in this house," added a fan.

 

Another fan called them "filler blind" and asked them to "please stop." We'll be curious to see if the couple looks any more different in the next couple of years, and if they decide to actually 'stop' their alleged cosmetic treatments.
