Just two-months after welcoming daughter Esmeralda with partner Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes was glowing as she stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres show.
The 4-year-old first-time mum teased fans with a photo, to which Ellen added: "I mean Ryan Gosling is the dad so you can imagine how gorgeous this baby is. Between the two of them..."
However to our disappointment it turned out to be a mash-up of the couple's features.
"She looks like both of you. I mean really, she looks like both of you doesn’t she? It’s hard to say who she’s more like," joked the 50-year-old host.

"Yeah, very exotic," Eva quipped.
The Hitch star also opened up about the baby-weight battle, but says she is too busy spoiling the litte one to worry about shedding any pounds just yet.
“The whole bounce back thing, I’m like, ‘Oh gosh, ease up. It’s okay, we don’t have to. Eventually, maybe, but certainly not in a couple weeks.”
She however admit has been surprised by the effect breastfeeding has had on her body.

"[Breastfeeding] really does help to shrink your uterus back to normal size. It does! I know it’s a really weird thing to say, but it does.”
Esmeralda is the first child for both Eva and her 34-year-old beau who kept news of her pregnancy tight-lipped - even denying she was expecting during her last appearance on the show.
"I think just early on, we decided it's going to be so hard for her to have privacy. We thought this is the first opportunity we can give her to protect her and so that I had a nice calm pregnancy, which I did."
