Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes's Baby's Name Leaked
The couple welcomed a daughter on Sept. 12.
-- Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes's daughter's name has been released.
The couple, who welcomed the baby on Sept. 12, have named her Esmerelda Amada Gosling, according to a birth certificate obtained by TMZ.
She was born at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif. at 10:22 a.m.
Perhaps not coincidentally, both are names of characters that Mendes has played in the past. The actress played a woman named Esmerelda in the TV series, "V.I.P." and Amada was the name of the woman she played in the 2007 film, "We Own the Night."
This is the first child for both actors, who were first linked in Sept. 2011, when they were shooting the movie, "The Place Beyond the Pines." This past July, reports began circulating that Mendes, 40, was expecting though neither she nor Gosling, 33, ever commented on the pregnancy or the baby's birth. However, this past February, she shot down rumors that a baby was on the way during an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
"It’s so ridiculous," she said at the time. "It all started because I didn’t want to go through those X-ray scanners at the airport, which are really creepy. They basically see you naked, right. And not only that, but there’s a radiation aspect to it. So I always opt out. I always ask for a personal pat down."
