During an appearance on Today on Tuesday morning, Eva was asked what it was like to go from acting to being a full-time mom, to which she responded, “It was a no-brainer.” I’m very lucky and I thought, if I can spend this time with my children… and I still worked, I just didn’t act because acting takes you places, it takes you away.’
Referring to her partner of 13 years, Eva continued: “It was almost like a non-verbal agreement that said, ‘Okay, he’s going to work and I’m going to work, I’m just going to work here.'”

Eva and Ryan met when they starred together in the 2012 film The Place Beyond the Pines, and she explained that she “pretty much stopped acting after that.”
‘I have never experienced anything like this. The way he works, his commitment to his craft, how he wants to make everything the best it can be, and that means making his co-stars the best they can be. But unfortunately, or fortunately, there’s only one Ryan!’ she said.
Eva went on to share her thoughts on Ryan’s memorable performance of Barbie’s hit song I’m Just Ken at this year’s Academy Awards, in which he took the stage with Mark Ronson and the Guns N’ Roses guitarist, Slash.

“Because that’s what it’s all about,” he said. “You go, you do your job the best you can, and then you come home.”
Ryan recently revealed how Eva and his two daughters gave him helpful ‘tips’ for his performance at the 96th Oscars.

Despite not walking the red carpet with Ryan, Eva was backstage and wrote in an Instagram caption that she’s “always by my man’s side.”
La La Land star Ryan walked the Academy Awards carpet with his sister, Mandi.
“They are such a big part of this for me… it was my daughters’ interest in Barbie and disinterest in Ken that got me into this in the first place. It was lovely to have them there at the end.”
However, Eva was noticeably absent from the Oscars red carpet, and Ryan opted to bring his sister, Mandi, as his date.
Eva previously opened up about why she doesn’t participate in red carpet events with Ryan when she posted images from 2012’s Place Beyond The Pines.
She wrote: ‘The magic is real. We didn’t meet on set. The magic started long before, but here’s some magic captured on camera.’
One fan commented: ‘Eva, I want to be honest (with you), but I hope Barbie makes it through awards season just to see you (with) Ryan. I know I’m selfish and probably a dreamer, but I’ll never stop dreaming about it!! (sic).’
To which she replied: ‘You’re the best! What a great comment; thank you. But we don’t do those things together… Like these photos I’ve been posting, I only feel comfortable posting them because they’re already available.’
He added, “Oh wait, for those who might catch me in a ‘lie,’ we were only on the red carpet together once while promoting this movie.”
