It kind of always feels like a holiday because we get together so often,” she added, “but the traditions are pretty basic. Speaking about Thanksgiving and Christmas, she noted that Gosling’s family regularly visits from Canada and “it’s just a big fun party. In March 2020, Mendes offered a rare glimpse into the couple’s private life, revealing that family time is always a priority. Then it made sense for me to have not kids, but his kids. As she told Women’s Health in May 2019, having kids “ was the furthest thing from my mind” and then, “Ryan Gosling happened. In another show of proof of just how deep the couple’s bond is, Gosling totally changed Mendes’ outlook on kids. I feel so lucky, and I’m just taking advantage of that.
