Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have no plans to get married.

The couple, who welcomed their daughter Esmeralda Amada into the world three months ago, are reportedly very content and don't want to change their relationship status.

A source close to the couple said: "Neither felt the need to get married, it's just not a huge priority for either of them. They know what they have."

The duo's romance was recently rumoured to be on the rocks, as the 34-year-old actor was forced to spend long periods in Atlanta, Georgia filming his upcoming movie, 'The Nice Guys,' while Eva remained in Los Angeles with their baby.

But the insider said: "Ryan and Eva are super-super-private. The last thing they'd do is bring a baby, who's barely three-months-old, to a film set teeming with paparazzi. Ryan specifically wanted it like this - with paps following him in Atlanta, they're mostly leaving Eva and the baby alone."

Eva, 40, texted her boyfriend plenty of photographs and videos of their little girl while he was away, and they enjoyed "a wonderful Christmas together with both her family and his" last week.

Meanwhile, the 'Hitch' actress is still adjusting to motherhood.

The source explained to E! News: "The baby is still not sleeping through the night yet so [Eva's] tired. She's also still getting used to breastfeeding - it's not easy. But she's happily in nesting mode."
