Los Angeles, Sep 17 (IANS) Hollywood couple Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling threw a “quiet and casual party” to celebrate their daughter Esmeralda’s first birthday.

According to a source, Mendes, 41, and Gosling, 34, organised a low-key party, attended by around 20 of their closest friends and family members, especially from Mendes’ side, reports usmagazine.com.

“It was a quiet and casual party, not the typical celebrity first birthday blowout with vendors and other celebrity guests.

“It looked like it was just their simple style and more about family and close friends coming together to celebrate Esmeralda,” the source said.

The couple, who got married in 2011, welcomed Esmeralda on September 12 last year.
