Eva Mendes applauds Ryan Gosling’s ‘SNL’ sketch featuring a Cuban wife

Eva Mendes had nothing but praise for Ryan Gosling’s recent “Saturday Night Live” hosting gig, where he did a sketch about having a Cuban wife, seemingly nodding to Mendes, who is of Cuban descent. The sketch involved Gosling developing a Latino accent after marrying a Cuban woman, with references to Mendes and other celebrities.

In the sketch, Gosling joked about how “a Cuban wife can change you,” calling himself a “Cuban papi.” The skit received positive feedback from both the audience and Mendes, who later shared the clip on her Instagram, expressing how happy it made her and joking about her Cuban heritage.

Mendes also thanked the “SNL” cast member Marcello Hernández for conceptualizing the skit and giving her a shoutout. The actress and Gosling, who started dating in 2011, have always kept their romance out of the public eye, and their marital status has never been confirmed.

While Mendes was supportive of Gosling’s hosting gig, Taylor Swift also gave him a shoutout for his performance, especially for his “Barbie”-inspired spin on her song “All Too Well” during the opening monologue. Gosling’s rendition of the song, with altered lyrics to reflect his experience filming, received praise from Swift on social media.

Gosling’s hosting gig on “SNL” was well-received, with his performances garnering positive feedback from both fans and fellow celebrities. Mendes and Gosling’s low-profile relationship continues to intrigue the public, with their privacy and commitment to each other adding to the mystery surrounding their partnership.
