Though the pair entered and left the building separately, the proud parents to Esmeralda, born this past Sept. 12, were clearly out for a rare date night, all gussied up to take in the stand-up’s show at the Saban Theatre.

While Gosling, 34, looked ever the dapper gent in a dark suit and white sneaks, his leading lady, 40, appeared slim (she only gave birth four months ago!) in a leopard-print shift dress topped by a printed coat. Mendes also added a beaded caramel turban, peep-toe platforms, and an embellished clutch to her ensemble.

As she’s rarely snapped with her beau, the actress explained to Ellen DeGeneres last month just why she and Gosling keep such a low profile. “We decided it’s going to be so hard for [Esmeralda] to have privacy,” Mendes said. “We thought [the secret pregnancy was] the first opportunity we can give her to protect her and so that I had a nice calm pregnancy, which I did.”
