So when [Gosling showed up to the Golden Globes](http://time.com/4622027/golden-globes-2017-winners/ "undefined") sans Mendes, it was hardly breaking news, nor was it too surprising that when he took the stage to give [his acceptance speech](http://time.com/4627926/golden-globes-2017-ryan-gosling-speech/ "undefined") for winning Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical for _La La Land_, [while he referenced Mendes and their two daughters, he refrained from calling her out by name](http://time.com/4627989/golden-globes-2017-ryan-gosling-eva-mendes/ "undefined"), preferring instead to allude to her as “my lady” and “sweetheart.” Mendes, in turn, has acknowledged this circumspect affection with a coy response of her own via Instagram. With an image of Janelle Monae that she posted on Monday, Mendes both complimented Monae’s style prowess while giving a subtle nod to Gosling’s sweet speech with a caption that read, “Obviously this wasn’t my favorite moment of the night….But it was definitely my favorite style moment of the night.” See the full post below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4630340/eva-mendes-ryan-gosling-golden-globes-speech/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4630340/eva-mendes-ryan-gosling-golden-globes-speech/"},"headline":"See Eva Mendes' Coy Shoutout to Ryan Gosling After His Golden Globes Speech","datePublished":"2017-01-10T17:39:53.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:40:02.998Z","description":"The subtle response is hidden in one of her Instagrams","url":"https://time.com/4630340/eva-mendes-ryan-gosling-golden-globes-speech/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","golden globes","celebrity","Ryan Gosling"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4630340/eva-mendes-ryan-gosling-golden-globes-speech/","name":"See Eva Mendes' Coy Shoutout to Ryan Gosling After His Golden Globes Speech"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Ryan Gosling Thanks Wife Eva Mendes During Golden Globe Speech","description":"Ryan Gosling thanked his wife for the award, saying without her raising his two daughters and caring for her sick brother, he never would have been able to take on the role","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/Uq5C7Rcs/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-01-09T02:39:41.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/Uq5C7Rcs.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4630340/eva-mendes-ryan-gosling-golden-globes-speech/","duration":"PT33S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4630340/eva-mendes-ryan-gosling-golden-globes-speech/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
