Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have officially welcomed a new member to their household — and she's an adorable one who goes by the name of Magic!
Eva, 50, shared on social media that the family had welcomed a new Goldendoodle named Magic, adopted from California Doodle Rescue, a shelter primarily based in Southern California, although the family did move to the United Kingdom not long ago.
She introduced her with a special social media montage from a shoot with Magic, dressed in a gray sweatsuit to match, set to the 1974 Pilot hit "Magic."
"Meet the newest member of our family… Magic!!!" the actress excitedly gushed. "We adopted her from this amazing organization @californiadoodlerescues."
"More to come…I'm crazy about her and excited to share life with Magic with you," and her fans quickly took to fawning over Magic as well.
Eva and Ryan, 44, keep their family life out of the spotlight as much as possible, in an effort to raise their daughters away from the public eye and also because of their own aversions to the spotlight. The pair are parents to daughters Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, eight.

Eva has, however, been honest several times about her relationship with motherhood, having stepped away from her acting career to devote time to her family and her other wellness pursuits, such as her company Skura Style.

"Then when it was like the cliche of, ok well, who am I now after the kids can survive on their own?" she continued. "I mean, they're only 8 and 10, but you know what I mean? They don't need me every second, it's a little different. But I love talking to my girls about anything so I feel very fulfilled."
