Ryan Gosling Gushes Over Family's ‘Exciting’ Christmas!

Christmas is always a time to bring families together and Ryan Gosling can’t wait to share this special holiday with his long-time girlfriend Eva Mendes and their 15-month old daughter, Esmeralda.

“This will be our first Christmas where Esmeralda is sort of taking it all in, so that’s exciting,” the 35-year-old actor told Hello magazine.

The two love birds welcomed their bundle of joy into the world in September 2014.

Fatherhood has come easy for the The Notebook star, who said it's "not rocket science.”

This can also be linked to the love he has for his partner, Eva.“I know that I’m with the person I’m supposed to be with,” he said, adding that the only quality he looks for in a woman is “that she’s Eva Mendes. There’s nothing else I’m looking for.”
