While some celebrity kids are already stepping into the spotlight—whether through music careers, runway appearances, or major red carpets—Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes appear committed to giving their two daughters, Esmeralda and Amada, a much more low-key upbringing.
Last weekend, the famously private family of four was spotted during a rare public outing at Disneyland Park as they celebrated their daughter Amada’s 10th birthday.

Eva Mendes And Ryan Gosling Take Daughters To Disneyland
In one viral fan photo, the Barbie actor was seen wearing a plaid shirt with jeans, tan shoes, a cap, and sunglasses while holding hands with one of his daughters. Mendes walked nearby with their other daughter, dressed casually in a white button-up shirt paired with a denim midi skirt, tan knee-high boots, and a blue plaid shirt tied around her waist. She also wore a cap and sunglasses to keep the outing understated.
One of their little girls wore a long-sleeved Disneyland sweatshirt with baggy dark jeans and sneakers, while the other sported a Mickey Mouse sweatshirt with a denim skirt and sneakers—both dressed comfortably and age-appropriately for a day at the park.
Although the family tried to stay low-profile, fans still quickly recognized the Hollywood couple.
During another Disneyland appearance that same week, Amada was photographed wearing denim overalls paired with the same sneakers and a simple white T-shirt underneath.
Online, many fans expressed appreciation not only for the fact that their daughters’ identities were protected through blurred photos shared by users online, but also for how they were allowed to dress and enjoy a normal, grounded childhood despite having famous parents.
Fans React
Fans on Instagram praised the family’s down-to-earth appearance and parenting style. “Just being a normal family like us,” one person wrote. “Love that the girls are not dressed in designer clothes like some celebrity kids.”
Another commenter added, “I loved that they were wearing Disneyland clothes,” while a third wrote, “As a mother who keeps my kids’ faces off the internet, I applaud you for honoring their privacy as well.”
Gosling, 45, and Mendes, 52, share two daughters together: Esmeralda Amada, born in September 2014, and Amada Lee, born in April 2016. The couple, who have been together since 2011, are famously private about their family life and rarely speak publicly about their children or share photos of them online.
The Ghost Rider actress has previously explained on Instagram that she chooses not to post images of their daughters because they are too young to consent to having their lives shared publicly.
While Gosling continues starring in major film projects, Mendes has also spoken openly about stepping back from acting in order to focus on raising their children.
