Ryan Gosling reveals the adorable nickname his two daughters Esmeralda, nine, ... trends now
Ryan Gosling gushed that his two daughters, Esmeralda and Amada, have started calling him by the adorable name of Papi along with a slight accent.
The Barbie star, 43 - who recently shared the 'odd piece of advice' that fellow actor Burt Reynolds once gave him - opened up about the sweet moniker while talking to WSJ. Magazine in an article published on Thursday.
'It kills me every time. There's just nothing, nothing better than that,' he expressed to the publication.
Gosling notably shares Esmeralda, nine, and Amada, eight, with his longtime partner, Eva Mendes - whom he started dating back in 2011 after meeting on set of The Place Beyond The Pines.
The actress also recently called Ryan 'Papi' after he donned a shirt to help promote her new children's book titled: Desi, Mami, And The Never-Ending Worries.

While reposting a photo of Gosling, she penned, 'Feeling the love from my Cuban Papi! And loving that beautiful Mami - Emily Blunt - so mucho! Love all around!'
The actress has previously opened up about teaching their two children Spanish - and admitted that it was 'harder than I thought.'
During an appearance on The Talk in 2019, she stated, per People, 'We're trying to teach the kids Spanish and it's harder than I thought because I speak Spanglish and that's what they're picking up.'
'It's adorable but it's technically not a language. So my little girl will be like, "Mami, my boca hurts because I think something got stuck in my diente."'
Eva - whose parents are Cuban - explained, 'It's so cute but that's not really going to work out there.'
Last year, Ryan revealed that he hadn't planned on having a family until he met Mendes.
'I wasn't thinking about kids before I met her, but after I met Eva, I realized that I just didn't want to have kids without her,' he expressed to GQ at the time.
He explained that filming scenes as a family with the Ghost Rider actress prompted his outlook to change. 'I didn't really want it to be pretend anymore. I realized that this would be a life I would be really lucky to have.'

Gosling further commented on fatherhood and stated that, 'I would never want to go back, you know?'
'I'm glad I didn't have control over my destiny in that way, because it was so much better than I ever had dreamed for myself.'
Following his 2017 film Blade Runner 2049, Ryan took a few years off from acting and explained, 'I wanted to spend as much time as I could with them.'
