Ryan Gosling Says the Sweetest Things About His Little Girls and It's Beyond Precious

Updated on 6/5/2016 at 8:00 PM

Fans were in for quite a surprise when news broke that Ryan Gosling had welcomed his second child with girlfriend Eva Mendes 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 — and has only shared a few tidbits about his baby girls, though he did recently tell Good Morning America 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.

On being a dad: "It sounds so clichéd, but I never knew that life could be this fun and this great."
On his experience with fatherhood: "[It's] not rocket science."
On what it's like living with his two daughters and girlfriend Eva Mendes: "It's heaven. It's like walking through a field of flowers every day. I live with angels."

On the birth of Esmeralda: "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: "Es, Essy."
On how he's been trying to show her a thing or two about respect and honor: "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."
