Ryan Gosling's sweet nod to partner Eva Mendes during ITV This Morning appearance

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are rarely photographed together and keep their family life extremely low key, but he was keen to show his love and support during an interview on This Morning. During a segment with Alison Hammond to promote his new movie, the Barbie star wore a T-shirt that will have meant a lot to his wife.

The white T-shirt had the title of Eva's debut book emblazoned across the front in black type. Desi, Mami, and the Never-Ending Worries tells the story of a little girl facing the worries of monsters and scary things that come just before bedtime.

The former actress, who has children Esmeralda, nine, and Amada, seven, with Ryan, has described the book, which will be published in both English and Spanish, as "a true labour of love".

The pair have been linked since filming The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011 when they played a couple with an infant son.

Ryan is currently promoting his latest film with Emily Blunt, called The Fall Guy about stuntman Colt Seavers who springs back into action when the star of a big studio movie suddenly disappears.

In the This Morning interview, Alison turned the tables and persuaded Ryan to interview her and Emily.

The pair have history as their last meeting in 2017 went viral worldwide, when Ryan was laughing so much he had to leave the set and abandon the interview alongside his Blade Runner 2049 co-star Harrison Ford. The clip has received over 18 million views online.
