Fans were in for quite a surprise when news broke that Ryan Gosling had welcomed his second child [1] with girlfriend Eva Mendes [2] in early May. While the little tot — whom they named Amada Lee Gosling — has yet to make a public appearance, she joined the couple's first daughter, nearly 2-year-old Esmeralda Amada Gosling. Unfortunately for us, Ryan likes to keep his family life private — much like his relationship with Eva [3] — and has only shared a few tidbits about his baby girls, though he did recently tell Good Morning America [4] that living with three beautiful girls feels like "heaven." See what else Ryan had to say about his daughters, then please enjoy this video of him giggling uncontrollably [5].
- On being a dad [6]: "It sounds so clichéd, but I never knew that life could be this fun and this great."
- On his experience with fatherhood [7]: "[It's] not rocket science."
- On what it's like living with his two daughters and girlfriend Eva Mendes [8]: "It's heaven. It's like walking through a field of flowers every day. I live with angels."
- On the birth of Esmeralda [9]: "It's the best thing that's ever happened to me for sure — that's an understatement — but she's an angel."
- On his nickname for Esmeralda [10]: "Es, Essy."
- On how he's been trying to show her a thing or two about respect and honor [11]: "I heard that if you tag over someone else's tag, that's how you start a battle. Now, I take my little girl to the park and we always write her name in chalk . . . and some kid has been erasing her name and writing their name over it, so now I'm in a proper — finally — I'm in a proper tagging battle. You gotta be careful because when you're trying to teach your kid what a reasonable amount of vengeance is."
