Eva Mendes was with George Augusto, a film producer, from 2001 until 2011, according to the Daily Mail. Given the lack of interviews surrounding Mendes and Augusto, privacy has obviously always been a priority for the “Out of Time” star.
However, when speaking with Hollywood Life in 2011, Mendes shared why she and the film mogul had never married. “It’s nothing negative when I say that [I don’t believe in marriage],” Mendes shared with the publication. “I just don’t think marriage is necessary, as necessary as society makes it.” She continued, “And I don’t have a negative point of view on it. I just think it’s a very old tradition and if you look back to what marriage symbolizes in the first place … it has nothing with why we get married today.”

Either way, after the couple broke up, she seemed content with her decision, even though a significant amount of time had passed. “We’re still so young!” Mendes shared with Zest Magazine (via Daily Mail). “Whatever age you’re at, do you want to look back in ten years’ time and say, ‘Oh I was so young and dumb,’ and see the opportunities that passed you by?” She continued, “Flash-forwarding to the future really works for me.”
