Eva Mendes, the renowned actress, is celebrating her 50th birthday and embracing a new chapter in her life. While she hasn't been actively involved in movie roles for some time, Mendes is keeping busy with various projects.

One of her recent endeavors includes the creation of a children's book titled Desi, Mami & the Never-Ending Worries, set to release on September 17. The book, available in both English and Spanish, is a heartfelt project inspired by Mendes' role as a mother to her two daughters.

In addition to her literary pursuits, Mendes has also ventured back into the fashion world. She made a stylish return to the fashion scene by attending Dolce & Gabbana's Milan show, marking her first fashion week appearance in over a decade.

While Mendes has not appeared in a movie since 2014, she clarified that she has not retired from acting. Her decision to step back from the spotlight was driven by a desire to prioritize her family and explore other business opportunities.

Despite her own career choices, Mendes remains a steadfast supporter of her partner, Ryan Gosling. She expressed immense pride in Gosling's performance in the film Barbie, which garnered him an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

Mendes and Gosling, who first met on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines in 2012, share a private yet loving relationship. Gosling publicly acknowledged Mendes during an event, highlighting her significance in his life and their shared joy of raising their children.

As Mendes embarks on this new decade, she continues to captivate audiences with her creativity, dedication to motherhood, and unwavering support for her partner's endeavors.
