Headline: Eva Mendes explains why she stepped back from her acting career
Caption: During Tuesday's episode of Today, Eva opened up about her decision to take a step back from acting after she and the Barbie star welcomed their children. The long-time couple have two daughters together, Esmeralda, nine, and Amada, seven. "It was almost just like a non-verbal agreement that it was like, 'OK, he's going to work, and I'm going to work. I'm just going to work here,'" Eva, 50, explained. "He went and he did his job. He just happens to be really good at his job. And he did it, and he came home."
