Eva Mendes 'Leaning On Ex George Augusto As Ryan Gosling Relationship Suffers'

Eva Mendes is reportedly relying on ex-boyfriend George Augusto as a shoulder to cry on while she endures a rough patch in her relationship with Ryan Gosling.

She started dating the hunk when they met on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines but they are said to be going through a spot of trouble.

Eva dated George from 2002 until 2010 but they could rekindle things as he has apparently been a great source of support recently.

"Augusto seems to think Eva's done with Ryan - he claims it's just a matter of time before she dumps him officially,” a source told Heat magazine.

“She's been crying on his shoulder about her problems with Ryan wanting to settle down - and as a result Eva and George have become close again."

Ryan allegedly wants to start a family but Eva isn’t ready to become a mother yet.

It wouldn’t be the first time the star’s partner has pushed parenthood as the same purportedly happened with George before they eventually parted ways.

"History is repeating itself with Ryan. He'd love kids and marriage but she's not ready," the insider shared.

Eva has previously spoken about her attitude to settling down and reproducing.

The slender screen beauty has never been keen on parenting.

"I don't wanna have kids... I love the little suckers; they're so cute. But I love sleep so much, and I worry about everything," she said in 2007.

"I feel like the institution of marriage is a very archaic kinda thing. I don't think it fits in my world today.”
