It's still very hard to believe that Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are going to have a baby, but more and more sources swear that it's a true fact, despite now emerging that the baby was a total surprise for Gosling since this wasn't a planned thing.

Radar is claiming that Ryan Gosling was taken aback when he first learned that he was going to be a father, especially since things weren't exactly going in the right direction with Eva Mendes. The couple had been plagued with rumors about a possible breakup since the beginning of the year, and people actually started believing that they were going to part ways.

“It was completely unplanned,” an unnamed source told Radar about the pregnancy and added that “Ryan was surprised, especially because they had broken up early last year, only to get back together.”

Eva and Ryan first hooked up on the set of the movie “The Place Beyond the Pines” three years ago, but they haven't exactly been all loved up. There was talk of not seeing eye to eye on certain matters such as marriage, but it seems that Eva solved their problems with a tried and tested method – by getting pregnant.

If until today Ryan has seemed reluctant to give up his bachelor ways, he's now been forced to make a commitment because of his unborn baby. The same insider reports that Eva has already moved into Ryan's bachelor pad and made herself comfortable while she waits to give birth to the baby.

“The house is quite small, and only has two bedrooms,” the source reveals, insisting that “Eva has been looking for a bigger house to live in with Ryan once the baby is born.”

It also looks like the news that he's going to be a father has changed the flirtatious actor completely. He's gone from casual bachelor to “very protective father” in no time and it's making Eva glad. She's trying to keep her pregnancy under wraps, and Ryan is making sure that there are no outsiders invading her personal space.

The only thing that could break up their family bliss is actress Rachel McAdams, Ryan's former girlfriend from the set of the film “The Notebook.” Recently, that part of Gosling's life has been brought to the attention of the public by the movie's director, Nick Cassavetes, who discloses that the two didn't see eye to eye during shooting.

The insider confirms that “Rachel is definitely a source of ongoing tension between Ryan and Eva.”
