Eva Mendes's Instagram Gives You a Glimpse Into Her Personal Life

Eva Mendes is no doubt reserved, keeping her 2-year-old daughter Esmeralda, 10-month-old daughter Amada, and her relationship with Ryan Gosling away from the cameras and limelight. But lucky for us, there is one way Eva has chosen to give us a peek into her everyday life: her Instagram, @evamendes.

Though the star was late to join social media, only starting her account in the Summer of 2015, she's shared enough adorable TBTs, relatable moments, and behind-the-scenes snaps to make us keep asking for more. Read on to find out all the reasons you should be keeping tabs on her feed, too.
