The longtime couple was spotted spectating at the Summer Olympics on Sunday, Aug. 4, during a rare public outing — where they checked out the dressage individual Grand Prix freestyle at the Chateau de Versailles before catching the women's uneven bars final at Bercy Stadium.
During the Olympic day out, Mendes, 50, and Gosling, 43, both wore sunglasses and head coverings to shield from the sun during the equestrian event.
Gosling rocked a white Paris 2024 baseball cap and transparent shades, while Mendes wore a Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) sun hat and large white sunglasses.

Specifically, rider Jessica von Bredow-Werndl came out victorious, as Germany's Isabell Werth earned silver and Charlotte Fry of Great Britain scored bronze.
Later, Gosling and Mendes were again spotted enjoying some gymnastics at the women's uneven bars final at the Bercy Arena, after Gosling swapped out his white hat for a green one, per the NBC broadcast, images of which were shared on X.
The couple also appeared to be joined by their daughters, Esmeralda, 9, and Amada, 8, during their gymnastics outing.

Gosling and Mendes — who met while filming The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011 — have still continued to support each other publicly throughout their professional endeavors.
Most recently, Mendes caught up with PEOPLE for the Beautiful Issue in May, when she explained that Gosling supports her "in all the ways I need to be supported."
"He's got me in all the ways," she added.

During the same interview, the Girl in Progress star explained why she decided to take a step back from acting in recent years to focus on their children, calling it "the easiest decision I've ever made."
"I was older and I knew that my kids are going to be little once, and whatever I do or don't do right now is going to affect them the rest of their life," Mendes said. "Your career comes and goes but kids, yeah, that was easy for me. They're just formative years. I wanted to be there for all of it."
As for the pair's life at home, Mendes revealed at the time that Gosling does the cooking while she does the cleaning. "I'm not a cook so my man cooks and I clean, so it's a nice even. I can't cook. You don't want me to cook," she said. "My girls, they're so cute but they're like, 'Did you make these eggs, mama?' I'm like, 'They're eggs, yes. They're just regular eggs.' Who messes up eggs?"
Gosling, too, has been vocal about the support he receives from Mendes, telling Extra during the Los Angeles premiere of The Fall Guy in May that he "couldn’t be here without her."
"She is with the girls, and when she works, I stay home with the girls too," he said, later adding: "She’s also like my acting coach. She has really become the best acting coach I have ever had, it's endless how she helps me.”
