Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes recently delighted fans with a rare public appearance at the Summer Olympics, held on Sunday, August 4. The couple was seen enjoying a day of Olympic events, showcasing a side of their lives that is usually kept private.
The day began with Gosling, 43, and Mendes, 50, attending the dressage individual Grand Prix freestyle at the historic Chateau de Versailles. Both stars shielded themselves from the sun with stylish accessories—Gosling sported a white Paris 2024 baseball cap and transparent sunglasses, while Mendes opted for a Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) sun hat and large white sunglasses. Despite their star power, the couple kept a low profile, sitting behind other spectators as they watched Germany’s Jessica von Bredow-Werndl secure gold and Isabell Werth take silver, with Charlotte Fry of Great Britain winning bronze.
Later in the day, Gosling and Mendes moved on to Bercy Stadium for the women’s uneven bars final at the gymnastics event. For this leg of their Olympic adventure, Gosling switched his white hat for a green one. The couple was accompanied by their daughters, Esmeralda, 9, and Amada, 8, making it a true family outing.
This outing marked a notable public appearance for the pair, who have been relatively private in recent years. Gosling and Mendes, who first met while filming The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011, have maintained a low-key public presence while continuing to support each other in their careers. Their visit to Paris provided a rare and joyful glimpse into their family life and their shared excitement for the Olympic Games.
