Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes have got married in secret.

The loved-up couple - who have been together since 2011 - reportedly tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in front of their close friends and family on the sly earlier this year.

A source told Us Weekly magazine: "Eva and Ryan have always felt like a married couple. They are infatuated with each other."

It's not yet known where the wedding was held and whether any of their showbiz friends were invited to the nuptials.

The pair first met while starring alongside one another in The Place Beyond the Pines five years ago and hit it off so well that they struck up a romance shortly after the film had wrapped up.

Despite their united front, their relationship was the hot topic of conversation two years ago when fans began speculating that they'd hit a bump in a road after the 42-year-old actress failed to support her handsome beau as he promoted his directorial debut The Lost River in Los Angeles, California, back in 2014.

However, it was later revealed that her absence was down to the fact she was pregnant with their first child Esmeralda.

The brunette beauty - who kept her pregnancy under wraps for as long as possible - gave birth to the little girl in September 2014.

In April this year, the pair welcomed their second daughter Amada into the world and the 35-year-old hunk has constantly bragged about how much his adorable children have changed his life.

He said earlier this month: "All of them are doing amazing. I'm a lucky man - they really make me better."
