Eva Mendes reveal again with dailytelegraph.com.au
“I just think…” she breaks off, choosing her words carefully. “If we go back to the origin of marriage, it was very unromantic. It was about land, basically. It was about ownership. So I think it’s a kind of unromantic idea. When I look around and see the emphasis people put on getting married and weddings, I think, wait a second, what does this really mean?
The divorce rate is astronomical. I’m a person who appreciates a private union and a union that doesn’t need a piece of paper. I think marriage is more societal than anything else, honestly. It’s not that I’m against it; it’s just that, for me, it seems a little old-fashioned.”
“But I’m completely pro-union,” she quickly adds. “I think the most beautiful thing in the world is to have your soulmate and to have that spiritual connection, and to honour that. In truth, you can’t be any more romantic than me. I’m crazy for romance. I like the random notes, the lipstick kisses on the mirror, the flower petals in the underwear drawer.”
