Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are one of Hollywood's most private couples, but the Hitch actress has been busy offering fans sweet insights into their family life in recent weeks.
The 49-year-old actress shared yet another candid look at her home life this weekend, revealing that she intended to enjoy some quality time with the Barbie star and their two daughters Anmada, seven, and Esmeralda, eight, in the privacy of their home. Despite the Hollywood couple's A-list status, it seems the pair don't employ a cleaner as Eva revealed she would be prioritizing cleaning up after the kids and organizing "my house/my mind".
The Place Beyond The Pines star wrote: "Cleaning, clearing my space makes me feel good inside. Simple. Not easy. Especially with kids. But simple. "This weekend I’m grateful to have the time to clean and organize my house/my mind. Y tu ? Whatcha guys up to?"
Eva's social media followers were in agreement, admitting that as busy working mothers, it's vital to make time to ensure the family home is in order.

Why did Eva Mendes stop acting?
Eva stepped away from the limelight and from acting in 2014 and explained her decision in the podcast 'Fitzy and Wippa' last year.
She revealed that a major factor in her decision to turn down roles was her focus on raising her daughters.

"It's not worth it," she said of being away from her family. "If I’m going to go away for a few months and be you know, it better be something that’s damn good."
Meanwhile, husband Ryan has maintained a steady stream of high-profile roles.
