Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes have been together for nearly 12 years but have generally kept their relationship out of the spotlight.

While the pair haven't walked a red carpet together in almost a decade, they demonstrated their love with their latest appearance at the Barbie premiere. 

How did Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes meet?

While the duo was first rumored to have met on the set of their 2011 movie, The Place Beyond the Pines, Mendes admitted to Oprah Mag that they had known each other before filming.

However, The Place Beyond the Pines marked the first time Gosling and Mendes shared the screen. On-screen, the two portrayed love interests, which soon became a reality. After filming concluded, the stars instantly ignited dating suspicions, and they were seen out together on many occasions. 

According to reports, Gosling and Mendes have been dating since 2011. While the pair is extremely quiet, they have left little evidence that they are still as in love as ever over the years. 

The pair has been together for six years and has a six-year age difference too. Mendes, born in 1980, turned 49 on November 12 of last year. She is six years older than Gosling, who was born in 1974 and is now 42.
