WATCH: Ryan Gosling pays emotional tribute to wife Eva Mendes

The actor gave a special speech while accepting his Golden Globe award

Ryan Gosling gushed about his wife Eva Mendes in his Golden Globes acceptance speech.

The La La Land star wanted to make sure his “sweetheart” knew how much he appreciated her.

The 36-year-old is notoriously private about his relationship with Eva, but he didn’t shy away from giving her a major shout-out while accepting the award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy.

He started his tribute to Eva with, “You don’t get to be up here without standing on the shoulders of a mountain of people, and there’s just no time to thank everyone.

“I’d just like to try and thank one person properly. While I was dancing and playing piano and having one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on a film, my lady was raising our daughter, pregnant with our second, and trying to help her brother fight his battle with cancer.”

“If she hadn’t taken all that on so I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else up here other than me today.”

The actor then turned to camera and said, “So, sweetheart, thank you. To my daughters, Amada and Esmeralda, I love you. And if I may, I’d like to dedicate this to the memory of her brother, Juan Carlos Mendes.”
