Eva Mendes Posts Backstage From the Oscars Ahead of Ryan Gosling's Performance: 'Always With My Man'

The actress shared her pride in Gosling in a sweet Instagram Story on Sunday.

Eva Mendes is standing by Ryan Gosling ahead of his performance at the 96th Academy Awards -- and she wants the world to know it. 

On Sunday, the 50-year-old actress took to Instagram to tease her attendance at the Oscars and show her support for her husband, 43, who is slated to sing his Oscar-nominated song, "I'm Just Ken," during the broadcast.

In an Instagram Story, Mendes showed off her dressed-down look ahead of the all-out glamorous event, wearing high-waisted jeans, a casual button-down top and a jean jacket while posing in front of a dressing room adorned with Gosling's name on it. 

"Siempre con mi hombre," the Hitch actress wrote over the photo. She later shared a live photo of the moment, which was posted to her Instagram grid, translating the message into English for her 6 million followers, writing, "always with my man."

At the end of the night, the devoted wife, mom and actress congratulated her man on his show-stopping performance and shared a hilarious photo in his awards-day outfit, wearing his pink bedazzled blazer, black cowboy hat and sunglasses. 

"You took Ken all the way to the Oscar’s, RG," she wrote. "Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed. 💋."

Mendes, who shares two children with the La La Land actor, has been Gosling's No. 1 supporter throughout awards season and after the release of Barbie. After he was announced as a nominee in the Best Supporting Actor category, she used her social media to shut down criticism over the nod.

"So proud of my man," Mendes wrote in January. "So much hate when he took on this role. So many people trying to shame him for doing it. Despite all the #Notmyken ridicule and articles written about him, he created this completely original, hilarious, heartbreaking, now iconic character and took it all the way to Oscars."

She added: "So beyond proud to be this Ken’s Barbie."

On Friday, Gosling hit the stage inside the Dolby Theatre to practice ahead of his performance on Sunday. For the early run through, Gosling sported a ballcap, sunglasses and a Grave Diggers T-shirt, still giving off the hard rock and too-cool-for-school Kenergy of his character.
