Eva Mendes opened up about leaving her acting career behind after having kids with the Barbie actor Ryan Gosling. Mendes and Gosling have been married for 12 years and have two kids. While Gosling has made a successful career in acting, the actress decided to quit after her kids were born, as she revealed that she had no problem with The Notebook star "bringing home the bacon." 

Sharing about her transition to being a full-time mother, Mendes revealed on NBC's Today Show, "It was like a no-brainer. I'm so lucky. And I was like if I can have this time with my children—and I still work—I just didn't act because acting takes you on locations; it takes you away."
