Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes just showed up in public together for the first time in ten years!

The two appeared on the renowned The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday, ahead of the upcoming release of his latest film, Project Hail Mary.

The actor took the opportunity to surprise Mendes with a special celebration for her 52nd birthday.

Gosling first asked the audience if they would sing to his wife, who was waiting backstage at that time.

A staff member went to get an unassuming Mendes, and as she made her way to the stage, he joked, "Here's the thing, you might find me in the Hudson River tomorrow."

Mendes joined the festivities, notably wearing Gosling's blue and white striped Louis Vuitton cardigan, which he recently wore during an appearance on Jeopardy!

She paired the piece with retro-inspired wide-leg jeans and a black and white T-shirt featuring the cover of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's 1980 album Double Fantasy.

When Mendes walked out to a cheering audience, Gosling held her hand, and they went on the stage together.

She then acknowledged the teachers and students who were in the audience, thanking them for their impact as she asked Fallon, "You'll cut all this, right?" He smiled, replying, "No!"

Fallon then told Mendes, "This is your birthday!" The television host then revealed that band directors from New Jersey's North Bergen High School were in the audience before the school's marching band played "Happy Birthday" for Mendes, walking out holding a flag that read, "Happy Birthday, Eva!”

Gosling clapped and sang along too, and Mendes thanked him with a kiss on the cheek.

The sweet moment between Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes comes over 10 years after the couple walked a red carpet together in 2013 for the New York City premiere of The Place Beyond The Pines.
