Did you notice Eva Mendes' coy reply to Ryan Gosling's praise at Golden Globes?

Actor Ryan Gosling made it sure to give special mention to wife Eva Mendes in his Golden Globes acceptance speech and the actress has reverted back to the praise with a clever message.

The 42-year-old actress took to Instagram to pass on the message to the 36-year-old actor, who had credited his win at the Globes as best actor in a motion picture - musical or comedy to her.

Mendes shared the picture of her friend, singer Janelle Monae from the Globes red carpet.

"Obviously this wasn't my favorite moment of the night... But it was definitely my favorite style moment of the night. The stunning and talented @janellemonae is killing me with this look. So so so beautiful #goldenglobes," she wrote.

The "La La Land" star had said that while he was shooting for the Damien Chazelle film, Mendes was at home raising their daughter, pregnant with their second, and supporting her brother in his fight with cancer.

Gosling added, "If she hadn't taken all that on so that I could have this experience, it would surely be someone else other than me up here today. So sweetheart, thank you."
