Eva and Ryan met when they starred opposite each other in the 2012 film The Place Beyond the Pines, and she explained that she “pretty much quit acting after that.”
‘I’ve never experienced anything like this before. The way he works, his dedication to his craft, how he wants to make everything the best it can be, and that means making his fellow players the best they can be. But unfortunately – or fortunately – there is only one Ryan!’ she said.
Eva then shared her thoughts on Ryan’s memorable performance of the hit Barbie song I’m Just Ken at this year’s Academy Awards, where he took to the stage with Mark Ronson and Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash.

“They are such a big part of this for me… it was my girls’ interest in Barbie and disinterest in Ken that got me into this in the first place. It was wonderful to have them there in the end.’
However, Eva was noticeably absent from the Oscars red carpet, with Ryan opting to have his sister Mandi as his plus one.
Eva previously spoke about why she doesn’t do red carpet events with Ryan when she posted images from 2012’s Place Beyond The Pines.
She wrote: ‘Magic is real. We didn’t meet on set. The magic started a long time ago, but here’s a little bit of magic caught on camera.’
One fan said, “Eva, I want to be honest (with you), but I hope Barbie makes it through Awards season just to see you (with) Ryan. I know I’m selfish and probably a dreamer, but I’ll never stop dreaming about it!! (sic).”
To which she replied: ‘You are the best! What a cool comment; Thank you. But we don’t do those things together… Like these photos I posted, I only feel comfortable posting them because they’re already available.”
She added, “Oh wait, for those who might catch me in a ‘lie’, we were only on the red carpet together once when we were promoting this movie.”
