Mimicking Mom: A Heartwarming Tribute

Hollywood star Eva Mendes has given fans a playful peek into her unique relationship with her mother, Eva Perez Suarez, by sharing a delightful Instagram imitation of her mother's distinctive behavior.

This lively imitation of her mother, as Mendes amusingly put it, "sees everything through [her] eyes," was laced with warmth and humor, as she recited some of her mother's frequent sayings translated to English via Google Translate.

In this candid video, she shared her mother's mixed bag of comments, such as, ‘Oh, look how beautiful this is. But why is the table so close? You can’t even walk here,' and 'Oh, I almost killed myself here, and why do you have that there?’

With an air of humor, Mendes described this behavior as a "compliment-complaint, compliment-complaint," and she could not help but laugh, saying, "She’s amazing at it, and she’s always here with me."

The Deeper Connection: Mendes and Her Mother's Journey

In May 2022, during an episode of 'Today with Hoda & Jenna,' Mendes shared about her mother's health struggles. While not revealing specific details, she poignantly referred to her mother as a "survivor in every way".

Over the past few months, Mendes has been candid about her mother's health battles and the influence this relationship has had on her own journey into motherhood. The actress, who shares two daughters, Esmeralda and Amada, with longtime partner Ryan Gosling, said her bond with her mother was a driving factor in her taking a step back from acting to focus on her family.

She stated, "I really took it back to when I was little. My mom was able to be there for me at home until I was about eight or nine, and those memories for me, that just formed who I was, those years with her.”

Through her vibrant portrayal of her mother's character and touching revelations about their bond, Eva Mendes offers fans an endearing insight into her family life and her role as a mother, shaped by her own experiences with her mom.
