Eva Mendes | 40 & 42

Eva Mendes is one of those actresses that you can’t look away from when she is on screen, thanks to her dominating presence and her stunning physique. Thanks to her breakthrough performance in Training Day, Mendes’ career in Hollywood exploded landing her roles in several films like Hitch, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Though many were expecting her to grace more films, her absence was genuinely felt.

However, there is a good reason for her break from acting and that is because she has become a full-time mom to her daughters Amada and Esmeralda with fellow actor and Hollywood hunk, Ryan Gosling. Mendes admitted that she didn’t want to have any children at first, but after meeting the actor, she had certainly changed her tune. The couple are doting parents to their adorable daughters and it is understandable why the actress would go on a break. Fortunately, they know how to handle their investments for their growing family even when she did get pregnant in her 40s.
