Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are in ‘bitter disagreement’ as insiders claim they are fighting over expanding family and leaving Los Angeles, Radar reports.
According to the report, Mendes was notably absent from her husband’s side at the Oscars.
“People were surprised Eva wasn’t by Ryan’s side,” a source said, according to Star magazine. “It was a huge evening for him and she was nowhere to be found.”
While the actress was spotted backstage earlier and later paid tribute to Gosling, 43, on Instagram, Mendes’ glaring absence suggested trouble in paradise for the married couple.
One source said Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes who are parents to Esmeralda, 9, and Amada, 7, are hanging on by a thread, as they struggle with with jealously and fights over expanding their family.
“Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes” don’t like to go to events together, but the Oscars were different,” the tipster said.
“It just goes to show how separate their lives are.”
Sources claim Mendes doesn’t want another child while Gosling is pushing for baby No.3.
Behind the scenes, the 50-year-old actress is feeling resentful of her husband, the source alleged. In 2012, she put acting on the back burner to focus on being a mother and a wife.
“Eva has given up a lot to support Ryan and be a hands-on mother to their two daughters,” the insider explained.
Now, as Gosling’s career skyrockets, his wife is allegedly feeling insecure and having trust issues.
The couple have been married for 13-years.
“Ryan goes to set and enjoys his work and interacts with his colleagues, while she’s sitting home caring for their kids with no other social life,” the source said.
The couple recently spent six months in Australia while Gosling filmed his upcoming film, The Fall Guy, with Emily Blunt.
“Eva was cut off from her family and friends,” the insider noted. “It created a lot of jealousy.”
While the actress loves being so involved at home, it can be overwhelming. The source explained, “It hasn’t been easy for her to be the primary parent as Ryan pursues so many acting roles.”
“She adores being a mother and supporting Ryan, but that doesn’t mean it’s not difficult at times,” the mole added.
The tipster also noted Mendes’ strange choice of words in her post-Oscars Instagram post, in which she wrote, “You took Ken all the way to the Oscars, RG. Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed.”
Insiders claimed it ‘hasn’t been easy’ for Mendes to be the ‘primary parent’ while Gosling pursues his career.
“It almost felt like she was nagging him. Couldn’t she have just let him enjoy the rest of the evening? It was a big night for him — and she’s pressuring him — on Instagram, for everyone to see — to come home as soon as possible,” the insider said. “It was a little bizarre.”
The source claimed that a power struggle within the relationship has caused problems, as Mendes wants to move away from Hollywood and the Notebook star wants to stay put for his career.
“Ryan doesn’t want to move because of his career, but Eva is virtually non-existent, so she’s declared they should leave L.A.”
Moreover, Mendes allegedly doesn’t want any more kids while her husband does.
“Ryan has brought up having another child, but that led to another fight between them, because Eva doesn’t want one,” the insider revealed, noting that the pair are in bitter disagreement over nearly everything these days.
“Eva’s decision on baby No.3 might be the final straw,” the mole added. “They could break up over it.”
