Eva Mendes’ brother’s battle with cancer
Eva Mendes and her family have dealt with a similar situation in the past as well. Her brother Carlos had his own battle with throat cancer which he unfortunately couldn’t live through. He died in April 2016, in the same week Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling welcomed their second daughter, Amada.
“You don’t get to be up here without standing on the shoulders of a mountain of people,” Ryan Gosling had said in his Golden Globes speech after winning the award for La La Land, “and there’s just no time to thank everyone I just would like to try and thank one person properly and say that while I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer. If she hadn't taken all that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today. So, sweetheart, thank you. To my daughters, Amada and Esmeralda, I love you and if I may I’d like to dedicate this to the memory of her brother, Juan Carlos Mendez.”
Ryan and Eva bravely moved forward after this tragedy and made sure to bring their family closer together.
