Ryan Gosling defends Eva Mendes over 'sweatpants' comment

Ryan Gosling has defended his girlfriend Eva Mendes, saying that she was definitely not anti-sweatpants, after the actress blamed the clothing to be number one cause for divorce in America.

The 34-year-old Drive star took to Twitter saying, "Obviously sweatpants thing was a joke. Wearing them now. That's right, tweeting in sweatpants", New York Post reported.

The 41-year-old new mom later posted a picture of her favourite sweatpants on Instagram and wrote alongside "Dear favorite pair of sweatpants. I was just kidding when I said you're the #1 cause of divorce," adding "Everyone knows that orange crocs are the #1 cause of divorce," in a humorous way.

Mendes said it was either way a bad joke and she felt terrible that people would think she was serious. 

Mendes' Instagram post:

 

Dear favorite pair of sweatpants. I was just kidding when I said you're the #1 cause of divorce. Everyone knows that orange crocs are the #1 cause of divorce. Either way it was a bad joke and feel terrible if you or anyone thought I was serious. Thanks for understanding sweatpants. Sorry orange crocs.
