Read previewEva Mendes says she and Ryan Gosling had a "non-verbal agreement" that she would step back from her acting career to stay at home with their children when they decided to have kids.
Mendes and Gosling started dating in 2011 after meeting on set while filming "The Place Beyond the Pines."
"It was almost just like a non-verbal agreement that it was like, 'Ok, he's going to work and I'm going to work, I'm just going to work here,'" Mendes said.
"First of all, it's very likely Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling reached the agreement based on a fair, egalitarian discussion and decision-making," she said.
Every couple is differentHowever, not everyone can afford to be like Mendes and Gosling, and have one partner focus almost entirely on raising kids.
