The first pictures of Eva Mendes have emerged since news broke that the actress could be seven months pregnant with Ryan Gosling’s baby.
The shots see the 40-year-old actress covering up her rumoured bump with an orange Birkin bag, a big purple and black scarf and what appears to be a jacket as she makes her way to a car in Los Angeles.
Hiding behind sunglasses and dressed in a blue and white loose-fitting striped dress and wedges, the star looks her usual effortlessly stylish self.
On Thursday Ellen DeGeneres appeared to confirm the pair’s happy news with a congratulatory tweet.
The chat show host, who quizzed the actress about the pregnancy rumours all the way back in February, tweeted to her 29.6million followers: “Congrats to @RyanGosling and @EvaMendes!
“That’s going to be the most beautiful, bilingual, part-superhero, well-dressed, romantic baby ever.”
The post quickly clocked up thousands and thousands of retweets and favourites.
When Eva appeared on the show earlier this year, she denied the rumours saying: “It all started because I didn’t want to go through the scanners at the airport.
Congrats to @RyanGosling and @EvaMendes! That’s going to be the most beautiful, bilingual, part-superhero, well-dressed, romantic baby ever.

“They basically see you naked, right. And not only that, but there’s a radiation aspect to it, so I always opt out. I always ask for a personal pat down.”
In short, Eva managed to deny everything without actually denying anything.
And earlier this week US OK! magazine claimed the 40-year-old brunette star was seven months gone – and that the beautiful pair were over the moon.
“She’s been ready for motherhood for a while now,” an insider spilled.
Eva and the Notebook hunk started dating in 2011 and their first public date as a pair was a trip to Disneyland in Anaheim California.
They starred alongside each other in The Place Beyond The Pines about a motorbike racer (Gosling) committing a series of bank robberies and trying to reconnect with a former lover (Mendes).
