Ryan Gosling considers himself 'lucky' to have Eva Mendes

Hollywood star Ryan Gosling is "very lucky" to have Eva Mendes and their daughter.

The "Big Short" star said his "The Place Beyond the Pines" co-star is his ideal woman and he is equally smitten with their 16-month-old little girl Esmeralda, reported Femalefirst.

"My biggest investment is my family. I'm with the person I'm supposed to be with - I'm not looking for anything else beyond Eva - and I feel very lucky that we have a beautiful, healthy daughter, who is an angel. That's investment enough for me," he said.

The 35-year-old actor is unsure whether he's a good father but he tries to be around as much as possible.
 

Asked how he fares as a father, he said, "You'd have to ask my girlfriend really - all I can say is that it's important for me to be there for my daughter and that I want to be there too, because it's so fun.
