Fans are losing it after seeing Eva Mendes’ sweet message to husband Ryan Gosling, who tore it up at the Oscars last night with ‘one of the best’ musical performances viewers have ever seen.
Gosling, 43, brought the Kenergy to the 96th Academy Awards as he turned up on stage as his beloved character from the Barbie movie to perform ‘I’m Just Ken’.
Oh, and he was joined by 65 other Kens, too, including co-stars Simu Liu, Kingsley Ben-Adir and Ncuti Gatwa.
He began in the audience serenading none other than Barbie herself, Margot Robbie, later returning to the crowd to pass the mic to the likes of director Greta Gerwig and actor America Ferrera.

After his Oscar-winning La La Land pal Emma Stone got the chance to sing along, Gosling also grabbed the camera operator’s hand, kissed it, and grabbed them on stage with him for a suitably epic ending.
Viewers lapped up the star-studded musical number, with some saying it was the ‘greatest moment in Oscar history’.
One tweeted: “Ryan Gosling starting ‘I’m just Ken’ in the audience behind Margot Robbie who CANNOT stop laughing. genius. I hope the Kenergy never leaves Ryan Gosling.”

But it turns out there is no greater fan than his wife Eva Mendes, who posted an adorable tribute to her hubby on Instagram.
“You took Ken all the way to the Oscars, RG,” she wrote, adding: “Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed.”
Her post was accompanied by a snap of her wearing her husband’s pink studded blazer and sunglasses, along with one of the black cowboy hats the other Kens donned on stage.

“You’re the biggest winner of the night tbh!” one of her fans quipped, with another commenting: “You must be so proud!! His performance will be talked about for YEARS!! One of the best I’ve ever seen.”
A third wrote: “You two are the COOLEST...truly.”
Others pointed out that it was a shame she couldn’t be there ‘by his side’ to support Gosling, saying it would have been a ‘beautiful memory you could have shared together’.
