Eva Mendes Opens Up About Her Brother's Heartbreaking Death
Eva Mendes might be the most private celebrity in Hollywood, rarely giving interviews and keeping her pregnancies top secret. But in a recent interview with Latina for the magazine's August 2016 issue, the actress and fashion designer opens up not only about her home life, but also about the devastating death of her brother Carlos, the birth of her second daughter with Ryan Gosling, and why she's taking a break from acting. Scroll ahead for some of the revealing quotes and to see her stunning cover (read the rest when the issue hits stands on Aug. 9), then check out the Disney story behind her first daughter's name, Esmeralda.
- On the loss of her brother, Carlos: "Losing my brother brought our family closer, and we were already close to begin with. So to just see everybody be there for one another and show up, I feel so lucky to have them. And then they were there for me when Amada was born. We had a funeral service for him and that same week I had the baby. So it was really, really intense and obviously beyond heartbreaking, but also kind of beautiful."
- On motherhood: "Well, I have two girls. That's a lot. It's early for me to make any big statement about having children. My older little girl is not yet 2 years old. My little one is still an infant, and right now it's really about surviving those nights and trying to enjoy this time as much as possible with them, and start the bond between Esmeralda and Amada. It's a really, really special time. I'm loving it."
- On the story behind the name Amada: "My grandmother's name is Amada, and Esmeralda Amada is the name of our oldest. We had a few names picked out for our new baby, and when she was born, we didn't feel like those names were her. We came up with a few more, even that morning, and tried them out. We were like, 'What about Viviana?' But we just kept going back to Amada. In true Latin fashion, we reuse names all the time. I used to know five sisters that were all Maria del Carmen, Maria Elena, Maria Liliana . . ."
