WEDDING bells are finally set to ring for EVA MENDES after RYAN GOSLING won a hard-fought campaign to get the marriage-shy sexpot to settle down and start a family.
A year into their romance, the 31-year-old actor has begun shopping for an engagement ring for his 38-year-old ladylove, who has long insisted she’s not the marrying kind, say insiders.
“Ryan is head over heels in LOVE with Eva, and he wants to have a life with her – including children,” divulged a friend.
Even though the handsome “Drive” star has long been ranked as one of Hollywood’s biggest catches, Eva wanted to maintain her independence.
The actress, who split with Peruvian filmmaker George Gargurevich in 2010 after dating eight years, has called marriage an “archaic kind of thing.”
