We’ve all been obsessed with Ryan Gosling as Ken in the new Barbie movie, but what does longtime partner Eva Mendes think?

Well, Ryan has spilled the tea, and we reckon Eva will be one of the first in line to grab a ticket for the film.

In Barbie – slated for release in 2023 – Ryan stars opposite Margot Robbie, who takes on the role of the titular character.

Photos from the set have got fans rather excited thanks to the costumes, with one look, in particular, going viral after Ryan was seen rollerblading, wearing a pair of florescent skates.

During an appearance on The One Show, the 41-year-old Canadian star poked fun at the garish ensemble, with Roman Kemp asking if he ever thought those images would become ‘the biggest pictures on the planet’.

‘No, I didn’t’, Ryan responded with a laugh, before Alex Scott quizzed him on what Eva’s verdict was on the outfit.

‘Not many people can pull that off. What did your wife Eva make of it, what did she think of the look?’, she asked.

‘She’s been very supportive,’ Ryan said.

‘She’s supporting my Kenergy. She started a hashtag, That’s My Ken, which meant a lot to me’, and ‘Kenery’ is now our new favourite word, thank you.

Capital FM presenter Roman continued to grill him on whether there was ‘anything’ else he could share about the film, but The Notebook star remained tight lipped, likely only adding to the excitement surrounding the project.

‘You know I could tell you that The Grey Man would be Ken’s favourite movie,’ the actor joked, in reference to his latest release.

Ryan and Eva are famously private and like to keep themselves to themselves, so it’s always nice when we get a glimpse inside their relationship.

The pair aren’t technically married, but they have been together since 2011.

They met on the set of their film The Place Beyond the Pines over a decade ago and have been strong and stable ever since, now sharing two daughters – Esmeralda, seven, and Amada, six.

While the Hollywood stars are known for keeping their family out of the spotlight, they have shared some details over recent months.

Actress Eva, 48 – who has a cleaning brand called Skura – revealed to People how life at home works for their family, sharing: ‘Ryan’s the cook. He’s an incredible cook.’

She added: ‘I think that there’s a really nice balance to, “You cook, I clean.” And it just works for us.’

Eva confessed to being a ‘control freak’ herself when it comes to cleaning, but she finds it therapeutic.

Catch Ryan – alongside the likes of Ncuti Gatwa and Emma Mackey – in Barbie next year.
