Don't expect Eva Mendes to be walking down the aisle anytime soon.
Don't expect Eva Mendes to be walking down the aisle anytime soon.
In a Wednesday night appearance on Chelsea Lately, the 37-year-old actress explained why marriage is not for her.
"I'm not like anti-marriage or the institution, like for other people," Mendes told host Chelsea Handler. "And I love the idea of a union that's all very beautiful. But it's a very old fashioned, archaic thing."
"I actually think it's really sexy to be with someone in your fifties and sixties and be like, 'That's my boyfriend,'" Mendes added. "I think husband and wife is just ufffd very unsexy."
So will Mendes, who's dated her Peruvian filmmaker beau George Augusto since 2002, never get married? "Well no, because, it's not personal, it's just the institution... Why?
If you love someone and you have a spiritual union, I just personally don't think [I need] a piece of paper because society tells me [is necessary]."
