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".

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.

Explaining her point, she added: "The summers that I loved as a kid, and what I remember, [were when I] was doing nothing, right?"I grew up in LA, so we'd just be bored, and then the heat," she continued, much to the amusement of the studio audience.

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.

"I was just, you know… I took time off to be with the kids, because they were just so little. Now they’re six and our older one just turned eight. But it’s also because, you know, can I say a bad word? It was some pretty [expletive] roles being offered to me and I was sick of taking them.

"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.
