Eva Mendes has branded her mom 'incredible' for retaining her sense of humour during her battle with cancer.
Eva went on to explain she has been taking her mum to her follow-up appointments and she's still cracking jokes. Eva wrote: 'This Barbie is my Hero. I wish this Barbie wasn't so private then I'd be able to share everything she has survived – but the only thing she'll let me share is that she is a cancer survivor. Like that's not enough, I know. I see my strength in her eyes.'
The actress has daughters Esmeralda, nine, and seven-year-old Amada with 'Barbie' actor Ryan, 43, who she's been with since 2011, and added they had an unspoken deal where they knew her work was going to be taking care of their children while he went out and earned money in Hollywood. She admitted she 'pretty much stopped acting' after she Ryan starred together in their 2012 'The Place Beyond the Pines' film.
