Eleven years into her relationship with Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes is still finding ways to keep the romance alive.
The Hitch star – who was raised by Cuban parents in Miami – shared a photo of herself on Instagram showing off her new inner-wrist tattoo. The design spells "de Gosling" and is evidently a sweet ode to the actress's longtime love.
In Hispanic culture, when a woman gets married to a man, the husband's last name is often added onto the woman's original name using "de" or "of." So Mendes's name could be Eva Mendes de Gosling.
Though it is not clear whether Mendes and Gosling are married, the actress's tattoo is still a romantic gesture symbolising their commitment to one another – or a clue that they are, in fact, hitched.
Mendes could also be saying that she is "of" Gosling or belongs to Gosling, because they are soulmates.
The Girl in Progress star – looks lovely in a lemon yellow strapless top, blue headscarf with a geometric print, and gold hoops.
