“It truly seems they are surviving Hollywood as a couple, because of the way they‘ve handled being famous. They try their best to stay out of the spotlight," a source tells PEOPLE of Gosling and Mendes, 50.
“For them, themost important job is their girls. Everything else comes second,” the source of the pair, who share daughters Esmeralda, 9, and Amada, 7. “Of course Eva is proud and excited for Ryan. She still sees it as a job though.”
“It seems like a healthy way of living. They’re amazing as a couple and very happy together,” the source adds. “There’s so much love.”

Another source close to Mendes adds that the actress is “not into” all that red carpets entail after years in the spotlight. “She’s moved past that part of her life for now — the glam and the red carpet and the photographers,” says the source. “It’s just not important to her. She knows that it’s part of Ryan’s job but it’s not part of hers at the moment. She’s content doing her thing with her family.”
“You took Ken all the way to the Oscars, RG. Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed. 💋,” she wrote in a caption to a post showing herself in a pink blazer and a black cowboy hat.
