Actress Eva Mendes: Sweatpants Are The 'No. 1 Cause For Divorce,' Please Don't Do It Ladies!

Actress Eva Mendes said to TV's Extra that the "No. 1 cause of divorce in America is sweatpants," according to an ABC News report. ?fit=960%2C9999

The 41-year-old has a 6-month-old daughter with actor Ryan Gosling, and said regardless of how much sleep she gets, she won't be letting Gosling catch her in sweats.

She also told Extra that raising her daughter has given her a new appreciation for motherhood.

Mendes later apologized to her favorite pair of sweatpants on her Instagram account, and went on to blame orange Crocs as the real No. 1 cause of divorce. http://www.ktuu.com/eva-mendes-sweatpants-no-1-cause-for-divorce/31912328

I grew up in the 50s. NEVER saw my Mom at home dressed like they pictured women on the TV in all those old shows.

and sensible shoes with socks. Also they wore aprons and the head full of curlers. I remember the women on my block dressed like that. One of the women started wearing jeans and she started a trend, among the younger women anyway. The middle aged women thought she was too brassy.

People do let themselves go. Currently I'm sitting here in gray sweatpants and one of my husband's giant t-shirts.

Even as a little kid I could see how incredibly sexist and demeaning that sing is. Jack Jones was a great singer though.

They've branched out into pretty much every field of athletics, gotten shorter, added color, fought off a hard charge from short denim shorts last summer, but it still seems to be the fitness clothing to be seen in while doing casual stuff or (gosh) working out. So yes sweatpants you are now second class casual wear, but that's only until the cycle turns. It wasn't that long ago you were king and like your fashion friend the bell bottoms your time will come again.

I'll call the lawyers. Besides, his sweatpants smell like a petting zoo.

Not getting them off is the number one reason for divorce.

Homer is a food critic and is writing a review of the Taste Of Springfield event and this is an exchange between two of the restaurant owners watching Homer eat:

Sea Captain: I don't see why he doesn't give up and go for sweatpants.
Japanese Restaurant Owner: He says the crotch wears out too fast.
Sea Captain: YARR!!! That's gonna replace the whale in me nightmares.
