Eva Mendes won’t be celebrating her first Mother’s Day
Eva Mendes doesn’t feel like she has earned her »Mother’s Day stripes ».
The 41-year-old actress – who has seven-month-old Esmeralda with partner Ryan Gosling – has no plans to celebrate the special day this weekend because she doesn’t think she’s been a parent long enough to deserve to have a fuss made of her.
She said: »There is no plan.
»I kind of feel like I haven’t quite earned my stripes yet in a way. She’s seven months [old]. »
Instead, the ‘Hitch’ actress – whose brother Carlos Mendez is believed to be battling cancer – plans to visit her own mother and »bombard her with love ».
She added to ‘Access Hollywood Live’: »This Mother’s Day is definitely all about my mom.
»She’s had a really hard year. My brother’s sick, so it’s all about my mom, honoring her. We’re all going to go over to her house and bombard her with love. »
Eva also discussed about how her own mother used to dress her and her sisters identically, even though she was the youngest by several years.
She said: »I love that whole concept, it’s so sweet to me, my mom used to dress me like my sisters and there’s a huge age gap, they were eight, nine years older than me. So she had my older sisters dressing like a five year old. »
