While fans can\u2019t get enough of Gosling elevating his partner into the spotlight, last night\u2019s television appearance also marks the couple\u2019s first public appearance together in over a decade.

They share two children, Esmeralda and Amada, and Mendes has stepped away from acting for the time being to focus on raising her family. Her last role on screen was in the 2014 thriller-fantasy film Lost River<\/em>, which was written and directed by Gosling.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Watch Gosling\u2019s full Tonight Show<\/em> interview here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
