Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes’ Isolated Life in Montecito Has Left Their Friends Feeling Ghosted

Barbie hunk Ryan Gosling has retreated from Tinseltown with his baby mama Eva Mendes into their reclusive Montecito dollhouse for several years now — and insiders say pals are wondering if they’ve done anything wrong while accusing the couple of being antisocial.

The 44-year-old Blade Runner 2049 hero — Oscar-nominated for his 2023 role as Ken in the pink-themed dolly superhit — has been canoodling with the retired 51-year-old Ghost Rider beauty, mom of his kids Esmeralda, 10, and Amada, 8, since 2011, and an insider says they’ve “built this super insular life and don’t really let anyone in anymore.”

“It started when they first had kids, and then when the pandemic happened they totally locked down — but the weird thing is that even after restrictions were lifted, nothing really changed.”

“A lot of their longtime friends feel totally iced out because Eva and Ryan have kept the door shut on nearly everyone who isn’t immediate family.”

While Ryan is a lot more social than Eva, sources say the Hollywood star follows her lead to keep the peace, which has got to be pretty hard on him.

“He gets a lot of snide comments that he has to deal with, but he’s not going to throw Eva under the bus so he just brushes them off. But everyone knows it’s Eva’s doing.”

The muscular movie stud reportedly plans to move Eva and their brood this summer to London, where he’ll be filming Star Wars: Starfighter — but the source says, “No doubt it will be more of the same, with them doing their own thing and Ryan only socializing while he’s on set and then rushing back to Eva and the kids.”

The 2 Fast 2 Furious beauty “quit acting to focus on raising her kids and she says she has zero regrets,” notes a source.

“She has no interest in fame and can’t stand the Hollywood scene, to the point where she won’t even walk a red carpet with Ryan anymore, so it’s no surprise that she won’t go to any of the industry parties,” the source continues.

“But what’s hard for people to understand is why she’s now cut out almost all of their Hollywood friends too, not just people who were acquaintances — these are people that thought they were genuinely friends,” the source explains, adding: “She’s pretty much ghosted everyone!”
