Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling are parents of a second baby girl, and those who were impressed by the stealth nature of her first pregnancy should be blown away by how far off the radar they kept things this time around.

Amada Lee Gosling arrived in the morning on April 29, according to a birth certificate obtained by TMZ. That birthday would be approximately two weeks after it was reported that Mendes was expecting a second child and was perhaps in her second trimester.

Two weeks, people. That pregnant-to-parent turnaround shows some serious commitment to keeping their private live private.

To maintain that privacy the first time around, the actress “barely left the house” in the months prior to giving birth. Word that she was expecting slipped out around the seven-month mark, in July 2014, about five months after Mendes had squashed pregnancy rumors sparked by her refusal to go through an airport full-body scanner.

The difference this time might have been her October announcement that she was taking a break from Hollywood to concentrate on raising daughter Esmerelda. If someone says they’re going to be missing, people are less likely to notice them, well, missing.

Gosling, 35, and Mendes, 42, started dating in 2011. Esmerelda Amada — “Amada” was Mendes’ grandmother’s name, the new mom explained in 2014, and that significance might explain its repeated use — was born on Sept. 12, 2014.
