She reveals that when at her home in Los Angeles, she loves to throw on some Cuban music — bolero specifically, clean the house and tend to her flowers.

When asked about what comes to mind at the mention of the words “love” or “beauty,” she says, her mother, who made many sacrifices to raise her after her parents’ divorce.

She channels her mother’s strength in the Derek Cianfrance -directed Beyond the Pines alongside boyfriend Ryan Gosling , where Eva takes on the role of a single mother, Romina, who is struggling to make ends meet.
