Time flies when you’re having fun, and time zooms when you’re a parent. One minute, you’re bringing your little one home from the hospital, and the next? You’re dropping them off at college.
Ryan Gosling knows this all too well. During a recent interview with Variety, the 43-year-old ‘Barbie‘ actor talked about the four year break he took from acting.
Just to be with my family. I didn’t want to miss anything. My priorities changed, and I wanted to be with my kids. It’s going super fast. I hear the clock ticking. I don’t know how much time I’m going to get and I don’t want to spend it in the wrong place. I know I’m not spending it in the wrong place if I’m with family.
That’s a really sweet way of putting it. The man has a way with words!
For those who don’t know, Gosling shares 9-year-old Esmeralda and 7-year-old Amada with his partner, Eva Mendes.

A source spoke with PEOPLE last year, revealing how much Eva and Ryan value family time.
When they are not working, they are all about their girls. Ryan is such a fun dad. He is goofy and his girls love it. He takes them out by himself for various activities. As a family, they enjoy visiting the desert and the beach. They are a very active family. Eva and Ryan seem happy. They tend to be flirty and hold hands. It’s cute.
We know they probably have their arguments just like every other family, but geez, they really do seem like the perfect family!
