Eve Mendes is showing love for Ryan Gosling after his song, “I’m Just Ken,” won big at the Critics’ Choice Awards.

Gosling went viral on social media Sunday night after he and writers Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt were awarded Best Song — which the “Barbie” actor seemingly did not see coming.

After the hit song was announced as the winner, the camera cut to Gosling who looked particularly shocked by the news.

His reaction quickly made its rounds on social media, with Mendes using the clip in her congratulatory post for Gosling.

“I LOVE HIM!!!!” Mendes, 49, captioned the gif of Gosling, 43.

The couple — who share daughters Esmeralda, 9, and Amada, 7 — rarely post about one another online or share many details about their romance with the public.

While there has been speculation for years that the twosome are married — which was only fueled when Mendes referred to Gosling as her “husband” in 2022 — they have yet to confirm their relationship status.

However, the Oscar-nominated actor honored his longtime partner in his acceptance speech at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on Saturday after winning the Kirk Douglas Award for Excellence in Film.

“Most importantly, I got to meet the girl of my dreams, Eva Mendes, and have two dream children,” Gosling said when looking back at what led him to that moment.

“I dreamed of one day making movies, and now, movies have made my life a dream,” he added.

Although the couple has been together for nearly 13 years, the “Hitch” actress has not accompanied Gosling on a red carpet since the early 2010s.

Mendes explained the reason the pair have decided to keep their relationship so private in April after a fan asked if she would be joining Gosling during awards season.

“We don’t do those things together,” she replied. “Like these photos I’ve been posting, Im only comfortable posting because it’s already out there.”

“By ‘not comfortable,’ I mean exposing our very private life that we value,” she doubled down. “I’m still dying to do another movie with him though…♥️.”

In a follow-up comment on the same post, Mendes added that she and Gosling only did one public event together while promoting “The Place Beyond The Pines,” which she had posted a clip from to spur the conversation.

“Oh wait -for those who may catch me in a ‘lie’ -we only were on the red carpet together once when promoting this film,” she noted.

Despite keeping their relationship to themselves, Mendes often supports Gosling online by posting about his upcoming projects and successes.
