40 YEAR OLD EVE MENDES IS EXPECTING A BABY WITH RYAN GOSLING

Should be a cutie...Actress Eva Mendes, 40, and her longtime boyfriend Ryan Gosling, 33, are expecting their 1st baby together, an insider confirmed to US Weekly.

The couple who co-starred in the excellent movie The Place Beyond the Pines, have dated for nearly three years.

Pregnancy rumors cropped up earlier this year after Mendes refused to walk through the airport scanners.  The word on the curb is Eva is 7 months pregnant.

“It’s so ridiculous,” she she told Ellen Degeneres at the time. “It all started because I didn’t want to go through the scanners at the airport. You know those X-ray scanners, which are really creepy? They basically see you naked, right? And not only that, but there’s a radiation aspect to it, so I always opt out.”

 The baby will be the first for Mendes and Gosling. In 2008 Mendes spent several weeks at a rehab facility. There are also rumors that she once suffered from an undisclosed mental illness.
