Hollywood stars Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes made a rare public appearance with their kids at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, but their stylish family outing quickly turned sour, sparking dissatisfaction among netizens.

The couple attended the dressage individual Grand Prix freestyle at Château de Versailles. Ryan wore a plaid red shirt, white Paris 2024 cap, and dark sunglasses, while Eva opted for a black ensemble with a sun hat and large sunglasses. Later, at the women’s uneven bars final at Bercy Stadium, Ryan swapped his white cap for a green Olympic hat, and Eva didn’t wear headgear.

Despite their efforts to blend in, their choice of accessories drew criticism. “Why are they wearing sunglasses inside?” one netizen questioned. Another remarked, “If you are trying to be incognito, take your sunglasses off when inside watching gymnastics.”

The online community also commented on Eva’s appearance. “What’s with her lips?” one user wondered. Despite the criticisms, some fans defended the pair, calling them the “hottest couple.”

Eva has been open about prioritizing family over her career, stating it was a “no-brainer” to step back from acting. She maintains a clear boundary regarding her family’s privacy, explaining, “I won’t post their image until they’re old enough to give me consent.”

Eva Mendes opened up to TODAY about her now-partner Ryan Gosling:

“I’ve never experienced anything like that. The way he works, his commitment to his craft, how he wants to make everything as best as it can be — and that means making his costars as best as they can be.” pic.twitter.com/HZCxAmVpJv
