Eva Mendes Mom Gives Ryan Gosling a BIG Thumbs Up

Looking for a mid-afternoon boost, Eva Mendes was seen hitting up her local Starbucks coffee house in West Hollywood yesterday (May 17).

The “We Own the Night” actress was joined by a male friend and looked absolutely gorgeous in a printed white and rose sun dress.

And it sounds like Eva’s mother is a big fan of her famous “Lars and the Real Girl” boyfriend Ryan Gosling. An insider told press that Ryan came to dinner one night earlier this month, and it was all good from there.

"Eva's mum was gushing over Ryan. As she was leaving, Eva's mum was hugging and kissing Ryan. She loves him!"
