Eva Mendes named her daughter Esmerelda after 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame's heroine

Speaking on the 'Wendy Williams Show', Eva said: "We love 'Hunchback of Notre Dame', we loved the name, the cartoon and the novel, you know it just kind kept coming back to us.

"It's actually a very popular Latin name so it’s easy for my father and certain family members that still don't speak English to pronounce. That was a good selling point."

Eva also revealed that she and Ryan don't have a nanny and her family have been helping out with Esmerelda.

She said: "I've never appreciated my family so much, they've been amazing. I don't technically have a nanny, but I do have help. I'd like to clarify. I'm certainly not anti-nanny, you do what you need to do as a parent, but I'm so grateful that I have help with my family and his family."

And when asked if Eva felt pressure to lose weight after giving birth, she said: "No, I feel like we can be really hard on each other. That whole term, 'bounce back' after pregnancy. I don't know, I don't like that terminology. Look, if you go into the bikini two weeks after, good for you, but that wasn't me. I just feel like we as women need to support each other more."
