Eva Mendes may be curling up with Ryan Gosling at night and sharing parenting duties over baby Esmeralda, but apparently she is not as secure as you would think. All it took was a phone call or two from Gosling's ex Rachel McAdams to bring out Mendes's jealous side and make her fiercely protective of her new family.

According to a report by Radar Online, McAdams recently decided to call Gosling to congratulate him on becoming a father, and the conversation turned a bit more personal. Mendes was left with the feeling that McAdams might be hoping to reunite with her former love, and she immediately banned Gosling from having any further contact with her.

Gosling and Mendes had been together for a few years and were rumored to have been on a break when she found out she was pregnant. That might be one of the reasons why it took her until almost her third trimester to confirm that she was having a baby. Obviously, Mendes managed to win back her man and she and Gosling seem to have been doing quite well since baby Esmeralda was born a few months ago.

So why is McAdams such a sore spot for Mendes? Probably because after she and Gosling hooked up while filming The Notebook, they were believed to be the real deal. When they split it came as a shock, with sources close to them expecting that they would eventually reunite when the timing was right. McAdams was rumored to be devastated by Mendes's pregnancy, which means there were definitely some unresolved feelings there. Do you think Gosling is still carrying a torch for McAdams, too, or will he stick by Mendes now that she is pregnant?
