Eva Mendes is the doting mother of two young daughters, but the actress has admitted she never wanted to have children.

However, her feelings on the matter changed after she fell in love with her longtime partner Ryan Gosling.

The Hitch star, 46, opened up about when she first began to consider starting a family during a chat on Australian radio show Fitzy & Wippa.

She explained: ‘I never wanted babies before until I fell in love with Ryan, and it kind of worked out to where I was 40 and having my first baby.

‘I think I was 42 for the second one, so it worked out in that way that I had a career and then I changed my focus to my family.’

The actress – who shares daughters Esmeralda Amada, six, and Amada Lee, four – also insisted that she would ‘never want to send the wrong message to young women’ about putting one’s career on hold, adding that it’s ‘not an either-or situation.’

And now that her daughters are a bit older, the actress admitted she is open to the idea of getting back into acting.

She added: ‘I feel like it’s time…The list is getting shorter and shorter of stuff that I’d do. I don’t want to do anything violent. I don’t want to do something risqué.

‘I think the only thing that’s left is Disney. You don’t want to perpetuate certain stereotypes.’

Eva then quipped: ‘I just need Ryan Gosling to direct another film, and then hire me.’

Ryan and Eva met on the set of their 2012 flick The Place Beyond the Pines, and have been joined at the hip ever since.

The actress recently admitted there’s no place she’d rather be than locked up at home with her man and their children.
