Ryan Gosling's partner is papped desperately covering 'blossoming tummy' – see the photos

 

EVA Mendes deserves a medal for having managed to avoid the paps until now.

Ryan Gosling's partner is rumoured to be seven months pregnant with the pair's first child and these rare pap shots all but confirm the whispers.

Eva was spotted out and about with a girl pal in Los Angeles shortly after the news broke on Wednesday and it's pretty darn obvious she had something to hide.

The 40-year-old dressed her supposed pregnancy figure in a loose-fitting, breton-style mini dress and grabbed everything in her reach to cover the entire mid-section of her body.

The Hollywood beauty was seen making every attempt possible to conceal her 'baby bump' as she made her way into her mate's car.

Eva was pretty much bent in half as she refused to let the pap pack steal a peek at her tummy and she held a large orange handbag, a jacket and a scarf in front of her.

The actress probably thought she'd go unnoticed but it only served to add fuel to the fire as it all but confirmed the pregnancy speculation.

These photos are the first time the red-carpet-shy Hitch star's been photographed in public since March 2014.
