Headline: Eva Mendes glad she waited until her 40s to have children

Caption: The actress revealed she was too irresponsible in her younger years to be a good parent. "In my 20s, I shouldn't have even been around a child. I was just foul-mouthed and smoking," Eva, 50, told People magazine. "I could not have raised kids in any other era of my life but now, for sure." The Hitch star shares daughters Esmeralda Amada, nine, and Amada Lee, eight, with Ryan Gosling, 43. She found it strange that people thought her pregnancies were unusual.
