Eva Mendes took a break from social media and it was all because of her and Ryan Gosling’s daughter, Esmeralda.
The actress took to Instagram to share a post from @LatinxParenting Twitter account which encourages parents to let their children to call them out because “kids can be so fiercely aligned with their value that they will take nothing less than the respect they deserve.”
The post went on stating, “They will take no BS. Not even from you. Congratulations, you raised an empowered child.”
Eva related to the tweet and captioned it, “Thank you to @latinxparenting for this important reminder. I haven’t posted lately because my little one told me I was on the phone too much.”
The actress added, “I could tell she was taking it personally. And she’s a kid, of course she’d take it personally. They take things personally unless we go out of our way to make it clear to them it’s not personal.”
She also explained that the two of them had a good talk and that she also apologized to her daughter and promised that she would be more mindful.
She concluded, “I realized that just because I’m always home with them doesn’t mean I’m always present.
Posting on social media is challenging for Eva who chose to not focus the content of her accounts on her family life. Last year, she also took to Instagram to share a photo of a painting with the caption, “During these times, I’m so confused about what to post so I’m going to post things that move me in hopes that they move you as well. Since I don’t post my about immediate family, and it feels so wrong to post about work, here you go…”
Her followers took notice and she explained to one of them that she didn’t want to post about Ryan or their children. She replied, “I have always had a clear boundary when it comes to my man and my kids. I’ll talk about them of course, with limits, but I won’t post pictures of our daily life. And since my children are still so little and don’t understand what posting their image really means, I don’t have their consent. And I won’t post their image until they’re old enough to give me consent.”
As reported earlier, Keira Knightley explained her reason behind adding a no nudity clause to all her contracts after becoming a mother.
