“As far as getting work done,” she included, “I’ll do that whenever I please. But no, that’s not the reason. The reason is I personally cannot juggle family and social media. So -big shocker -I choose family. Lotsa love to you out there.”
This isn’t the very first time Eva has actually opened about attempting to be more present with her 2 children, Esmeralda, 6, and Amada, 4, who she shows long time partner, Ryan Gosling. (And let’s be genuine, if that was our household, we’d put the phone down, too.)
“I haven’t posted lately because my little one told me I was on the phone too much,” she shared on Instagram on Jan. 23. “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.”
“So we had good talk,” she continued, “I apologized and I promised her I’d be mindful. I realized that just because I’m always home with them doesn’t mean I’m always present.”
Back in October, Eva described simply just how much her life has actually altered for the much better—both by falling for the La La Land star and ending up being a mom.
“I never wanted babies before, until I fell in love with Ryan,” she shared at the time, “and then it just kind of worked out to where I was 40 and having my first baby and then I think I was 42 with my second one, so it worked out in that way that I had a career and then I changed my focus to my family.”
