Eva Mendes Reveals Incredible Post-Pregnancy Figure And Talks Baby Sleep: ‘I’m Enjoying The Sleepless Nights’

Eva Mendes appears to be settling into parenthood really well – even the lack of sleep doesn’t seem to be bothering her.

The new mum, who welcomed her daughter Esmeralda six months ago, has revealed the secret to getting through the sleepless nights – reveling in the one-on-one time with her baby.

“I’m actually enjoying the sleepless nights because it’s bonding time with my little girl,” the Hitch actress told Women’s Health.

But despite experiencing motherhood for herself, Eva isn’t ready to dish out any advice to other parents yet.

“I don't feel like I've really earned the right,” she said. “I want to respect all the moms out there. They're going to be like, ‘You know what? You're a few months in. Just shut up’.”

The star is notoriously private – and that hasn’t changed since becoming a mum. Both Eva and her beau Ryan Gosling have kept schtum on life with Esmeralda and are yet to release any photos of her.

They’ve even managed to avoid being photographed with her until recently (which is an achievement in itself in Hollywood, we imagine).

The couple was spotted at a roller rink in LA last week, where Ryan has thrown Eva her 41st birthday bash, and a baby thought to be Esmerelda was seen being carried into the venue.

Eva looked incredible, showcasing her post-pregnancy figure in a patterned jumpsuit. The actress may’ve snapped back to her pre-baby shape so quickly because she’s been breastfeeding her daughter.

She’s previously talked about eating well for her daughter, telling Ellen DeGeneres in December, “Obviously, you want to be healthy for the baby because she’s kind of eating what I’m eating. You want to make good choices.”

Eva’s not the only celeb mum to credit her baby weight loss to breastfeeding. Scarlett Johansson said it was “the best way to get back in shape” and judging by how a-mazing she looked just a couple of months after giving birth, we reckon she could be right.
