Actor Ryan Gosling took his eldest daughter Esmerelda out for some daddy-daughter bonding time recently with a train ride at a park near his LA home.

The 35 year old and his gorgeous 21 month old little girl looked to be enjoying the ride alongside other parents and their children.  Esmerelda looked adorable in her beige coat and piggy tails as she lovingly clung on to her famous dad.

The actor, who welcomed the birth of his second daughter Amada on April 29, recently said that having girls proved to him that females are ‘more evolved’ than their male counterparts.

‘I think women are better than men. They are stronger. More evolved. You can tell especially when you have daughters and you see their early stages, they are just leaps and bounds beyond boys immediately,’ he told a US magazine. His respect and appreciation for women goes back to his childhood and has followed him into his family life today.

‘I’ve always liked women more,’ he revealed. ‘I was brought up by my mother and older sister. I found my way into dance class. My home life now is mostly women. They are better than us. They make me better.’

On April 14, it was reported that Ryan and 42-year-old Eva Mendes were expecting their second child, and Eva gave birth to Amada just two weeks later. Much like with Esmeralda, the star kept both the pregnancy and birth of her second child very private.
