Eva Mendes: My Sweatpants Lure All the Men to the Yard

Eva Mendes: My Sweatpants Lure All the Men to the Yardhome insemination Kit

Okay, so here’s the scoop. My partner always insisted that I look adorable in my sweatpants. But now I’m left wondering—was he just trying to keep me from figuring out he was secretly signing divorce papers? I clicked on a link, nearly spilling my wine as I read, “Sweatpants are a no-go. Ladies, they’re the top reason for divorce in America!”

Alright, Eva. I’ll give you some credit because I enjoyed you in that rom-com and your partner is Ryan Gosling. But I have to ask a few questions. What kind of sweatpants are we even talking about? Mine are from Victoria’s Secret PINK, so do they get a pass? Or is that only if you’re married to someone like Adam Levine or happen to have the looks of Gisele?

Also, what do you propose we wear instead? Edible lingerie? Leather bodysuits? Frilly nightgowns? I can only imagine the look on my kids’ faces if I strolled into the kitchen to cook dinner dressed like Britney Spears in her “Oops!…I Did It Again” phase. Note to self: Halloween 2022 idea?

And how sweet is Ryan Gosling trying to clear things up on Twitter? “The whole sweatpants thing was just a joke. I’m wearing them right now. Yup, tweeting in sweatpants. Oops! Overshared! Twitter wins again.” Major points for him! Who doesn’t appreciate a guy who defends his girl like that? Not that they’re even married! Which brings me back to the classic Brittany Murphy line: “Why am I even listening to you? You’re a virgin who can’t drive!” So, ignore the divorce drama; I’m going to keep rocking my old gray sweatpants, and I hope not too sporadically.
