Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are ready to quit Hollywood for good.
The couple — who recently relocated to London because the actor, 44, is filming Star Wars: Starfighter there — “love the lifestyle” in the English capital, a source tells the National Enquirer.
“It’s easy for them to move around unrecognized and Eva’s made some decent friends over there, which is a big deal for her as she’s been such a recluse in recent years,” the source adds of the Hitchactress, 51.

They are also excited to expose their daughters, Esmeralda, 11, and Amada, 9, to new countries “which happened to coincide with Ryan landing this part,” says the source.
“But even without that work incentive, they were keen to spread their wings and get out of America — L.A. especially — which had gotten stale and boring to them for many reasons,” explains the source, noting that they’re planning to stay in Europe “for the foreseeable future.”
The Place Beyond the Pines costars, who have been together since 2011 and are rumored to have secretly wed, are even planning a second marriage ceremony in London, says the source. “It won’t be grand or large scale — that’s not their style — but they want to celebrate this new chapter of their lives as a couple.”
