The new mum looked glam as she was seen for the first time after the birth of her baby girl in September
New mummy Eva Mendes has been spotted for the first time since welcoming her daughter Esmerelda Amada, and she’s looking great!
The actress, who shares her first child with boyfriend Ryan Gosling, gave birth to the tot on September 12 and looked effortless as she stepped out in a long black cardigan and loose fitting black trousers.
According to E! News, 40-year-old Eva has been using a low carb and high protein meal delivery service to help her shift the extra pounds.
“Eva's flattered that people think she looks good, but she's not taking complete credit for it. She knows genetics plays a big role. She has great genes," a source told E! News.
As well as drinking lots of water, Eva is reportedly still nursing so is making sure she’s taking in the extra 300 calories.
"Overall, she's trying to eat only when hungry and not snack too much," the source claimed.
But while the star is said to be trying to lose the weight, she is treating herself to an odd cheat night.
"For her splurges, her mom's been cooking her traditional Spanish dishes. Those are her treats. While Ryan is gone, her mom has been spending a lot of time helping her. His mom comes too, but her mom is the mainstay," the source said.
While the actress is reportedly watching what she eats, she is not back into a fitness regime just yet.
The website reports that the Hitch babe is taking her daughter out for walks, but isn’t hitting the gym hard.
New father Ryan, who is currently filming in Atlanta for his new movie The Nice Guys, returned back to Los Angeles this weekend. No doubt getting some quality time with the main girls in his life.
Eva was very shy and didn't even announce her pregnancy - how un-Hollywood!
