Eva Mendes, Ryan Gosling welcome second daughter
Hollywood stars Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have welcomed a second daughter, after once again keeping the pregnancy under wraps, TMZ reported.
Mendes, 42, who began dating the Canadian actor in 2011, gave birth to Amada on April 29 in Santa Monica, near Los Angeles, the entertainment news site said.
Representatives for the American actress and Canadian star, 35, did not immediately confirm the report.
The stars already have a daughter Esmeralda, born in 2014.
For both pregnancies, Mendes, a Cuban-American born in Miami but raised in California, chose to rarely, if ever, appear in public, or appeared artfully wrapped in scarves and shawls.
