Eva Mendes Gets Emotional While Opening Up About Parenting Struggles: “I Yell Too Much

Eva Mendes, the beloved Hollywood actress and mother of two, recently got candid about a parenting habit she’s trying hard to break — yelling. In an honest and heartfelt confession, the 49-year-old star admitted that despite her best efforts, she often finds herself raising her voice when things get overwhelming at home.

During a recent interview, Mendes, who shares two daughters, Esmeralda (9) and Amanda (7), with her longtime partner Ryan Gosling, revealed that yelling has become a habit she’s determined to change. The actress said she felt guilty for how often she resorts to shouting, especially in stressful moments when juggling the demands of motherhood.

“I Yell. It’s Something I’m Working On”

In the emotional conversation, Eva shared how difficult it can be to stay calm when the pressure of parenting kicks in. “I yell,” she admitted. “It’s something I’m working on. I’m really trying to stop, but when things get chaotic, it’s hard.”

The “Hitch” star also talked about the shame and regret that often follow after she raises her voice at her daughters. “You feel terrible after yelling. You wonder, ‘Why did I let myself get to that point?’” she said, choking up as she reflected on the challenges of staying patient in the heat of the moment.

A Relatable Struggle for Parents Everywhere

Eva’s vulnerability struck a chord with many parents who understand the challenges of maintaining peace in a busy household. Parenting is no easy task, and like many moms and dads, Mendes is trying her best to handle the ups and downs with grace.

“I think every parent can relate to losing their cool now and then. We want to be patient, but sometimes we’re human and we just snap. That doesn’t make it okay, though,” she said, adding that she’s committed to finding healthier ways to communicate with her kids.

On Parenting With Ryan Gosling

Eva also opened up about how Ryan Gosling, her partner of over a decade, has been her rock through the ups and downs of parenting. “Ryan is amazing with the girls. He’s patient and calm, and it inspires me to be the same way,” she shared. The actress joked that while Gosling is the calm one, she’s often the more “fiery” parent.

Mendes and Gosling have made a conscious effort to keep their family life private, but Eva’s recent comments offer a rare glimpse into the day-to-day challenges of raising children — even when you’re one of Hollywood’s most famous couples.

Eva’s Message to Other Parents: “We’re All Doing Our Best”

Despite her struggles, Eva wants to remind other parents that they’re not alone. “We’re all doing our best, and that’s what matters. It’s okay to mess up sometimes, but it’s important to try to improve and be more mindful. That’s what I’m focusing on.”

As she continues to work on her patience, Eva hopes to inspire other parents to be gentle with themselves and understand that parenting is a journey filled with learning moments. “We’re all in this together,” she added with a smile.

With her open and honest admission, Eva Mendes has once again proven that being a celebrity doesn’t make parenting any easier. But it’s her commitment to growth and improvement that truly resonates with fans, proving that even the stars are human after all.
