Eva Mendes told Shape magazine, which features her on its April 2017 cover, that she has two reasons for her red carpet disappearance.
The 43-year-old actress says she'd rather be at home:
"What people don't know about me is that I love being home,"
"Instead of hitting the red carpet, I'd rather be with our girls."
Eva and her longtime partner Ryan Gosling are parents of two girls Esmeralda, 2, and Amada, 11 months. Eva is also a busy business woman who runs her own fashion line "Eva Mendes Collection at New York & Company" and beauty brand, "Circa".
In her interview with Shape, she talked about her fitness and how motherhood has affected her regimen:
"I have two babies now, two girls, and before I had them, I actually ran a lot more, I used to really love to run."
"But I've always been into light weights," she added. "I really respond to weights and I feel like if I just do cardio, I don't get the results that I want. So it's very, very important for me to add weights into my workout. So I do a lot of jumps, squats—a lot of squats—lunges, and then intervals of like, sprinting within that. I have a really amazing person I work with, a trainer."
