Eva Mendes Expresses Her Disdain For Marriage On Chelsea Lately

Let’s get one thing straight – Eva Mendes is not a fan of marriage. The actress who starred in Hitch will likely not find her self down the aisle anytime soon. Eva stopped sat down with Chelsea Handler to discuss her disdain for marriage and that stinking piece of paper.

“I’m not like anti-marriage or the institution, like for other people. And I love the idea of a union — that’s all very beautiful. But I think, you know, it’s a very old fashioned, archaic kind of thing. We did it for land originally. How unromantic is that?”

“Well actually,” Handler quipped. “If we were doing it for land now, I’d probably be more interested.”

“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… very unsexy.”

It is difficult to follow Eva’s logic on this one. So marrying for land is “unromantic” therefore bad and calling your mate husband or wife past 50 years of age is “unsexy”??? Something tells us Eva believes the romantic comedies that she acts in and may believe that the 50% divorce rate comes from couples who married for land and the other 50% married for romance – sheesh! We’re with Chelsea on this one who also opposes marriage but for practical and sane reasons! What’s your take on Eva Mendes’ take on marriage?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
