Last night’s 96th Annual Awards Ceremony showcased Gosling’s talent, as he vied for the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.

Instead of the expected Hollywood glamour with Mendes on his arm, Gosling strolled the red carpet flanked by his family – sister Mandi, mom Donna, and stepfather Valerio Attanasio.

The burning question: Why does the stunning pair rarely make joint appearances at these star-studded affairs?

Mendes, ever the supportive partner, shared an Instagram video from backstage, standing by Gosling’s dressing room, radiating encouragement for his big night.

Yet, when it came to the red carpet, Mendes was conspicuously absent. The reason? A revealing social media post from last year spills the beans.

Mendes, on April 6th, posted a snippet from their 2012 film, A Place Beyond the Pines, declaring, “Magic is Real.”

A fan, clearly hoping for a red carpet rendezvous, commented, and Mendes responded with a cool acknowledgment, confessing that they ‘don’t do those things together.’

Her discomfort with unveiling their private life led to a revelation: Mendes has avoided red carpets with Gosling since the release of A Place Beyond the Pines.

Still, don’t assume their love is fading; Gosling subtly paid tribute to Mendes at the Barbie premiere in Los Angeles last July.

The plot thickens, doesn’t it? The Hollywood couple’s mysterious stance on red carpets only adds to the allure.

Could Mendes be guarding their magic off-screen? Is this a deliberate strategy to keep the world guessing about their relationship dynamics?

As the spotlight shines on Gosling’s achievements, the tantalizing question lingers: Will we ever witness the duo dazzling the red carpet together again? The plot of Hollywood romance thickens, and we’re hooked.
