Eva Mendes is letting Ryan Gosling’s sazón shine in their household. The star recently revealed that she is in charge of the cleaning while the actor feeds the family.
“Ryan’s the cook. He’s an incredible cook,” she told People. “I think that there’s a really nice balance to ‘you cook, I clean.’ And it just works for us,” she said, confessing that she’s also a “control freak about the sink.”

But the one thing I can control is my house, my kitchen,” she shared. “So when I do the dishes, it’s meditative for me. It really goes deeper than just cleaning up. It really gives me clarity. Clean sink equals clear mind for me.”
For Eva having a tidy space gives her clarity. She said that she learned to be like that after growing up in a tiny apartment with many people. “When the house was clean, it was like, ‘Hey, I just feel better,’” she shared. “Everybody felt better. So for me, it’s really emotional.”

“I have such a short list of what I will do,” she explained, “Like before kids, I kind of was up for anything – I mean, if it was a fun project. But now I won’t do violence, I don’t want to do sexuality. I don’t want to do… the list is short.”
