Eva Mendes Reveals Daughters’ Reaction to Her ‘Nighttime Mama’ Role at Bedtime

Actress Eva Mendes recently shared insights into her bedtime routine with her daughters, 9-year-old Esmeralda Amada and 7-year-old Amada Lee, whom she shares with partner Ryan Gosling.

During an interview with Hoda Kotb for Today.com, Mendes revealed that her daughters have coined a term for her role during bedtime preparations: “Nighttime Mama.”

Mendes recounted her daughter’s explanation of the term, revealing that her child described “Nighttime Mama” as someone who needs to “chill [her] life down at night.” Despite initially finding the description amusing, Mendes acknowledged the importance of winding down in the evening to ensure her daughters get adequate sleep.

Acknowledging the challenge of balancing tasks and ensuring her daughters’ bedtime routine, Mendes emphasized the necessity of completing chores promptly to facilitate relaxation before bedtime. She shared that her daughters’ nighttime routine often spans two hours.

In March, sources revealed that Mendes and Gosling relocated their family outside of Los Angeles to provide their children with a quieter upbringing away from the spotlight. Prioritizing their daughters’ well-being, the couple opted for a lifestyle focused on family and away from the Hollywood scene.

Describing Mendes and Gosling as “hands-on parents,” sources highlighted the couple’s dedication to their daughters and their enjoyment of family activities. Despite their busy schedules, Mendes and Gosling prioritize quality time with their children, engaging in various outings and adventures as a family.

Mendes and Gosling’s commitment to parenthood and their family-centric lifestyle reflect their values and dedication to providing a nurturing environment for their daughters.
