Eva Mendes' plans for a "boring" summer break have not gone to plan! The actress shares Esmeralda Amada, 8, and Amada Lee, 7, with her partner, Ryan Gosling, and she's been vocal about her refusal to keep them entertained at every turn.
However, it looks like the little girls have twisted their famous mom's arm, as Eva's confessed she's become their "chauffeur".
In a video posted to Threads, the mom-of-two opened up about their summer and said: "This summer was supposed to be an easy - I was like bring boredom back.
But you know things happen and the kids want to do certain classes and things, so now I am just a chauffeur, like a water girl."
Eva, 49, looked exasperated in the clip as she continued: "It's hot, so you know, I just bring them water.

This morning was surf camp. I’m spending my long-awaited summer as a chauffeur."
Others added: "You're a great mom," and, "beautiful".
