Eva MendesEva Mendes has said she’s enjoying her time off from acting and feels “really good” about herself at the moment.

The Ghostrider star checked into the Cirque Lodge rehab facility in Utah earlier this year to seek help for “some personal issues” and now says she’s doing much better.

Speaking to People magazine at a fashion event in Hollywood on Tuesday, she said: “The sun’s out again. It’s my time.”

“I’m actually taking advantage of my time off. You know, I had a film that was pushed, so I’m home spending time with my family, going to the gym and actually enjoying taking care of myself…”

“This year has been great for me because I’ve learned how to relax. The last three years have been amazing but kind of crazy. So I don’t know, I feel grounded. I feel really good.”

She added that long-term boyfriend George Gargurevich has been a great help as well: “I’m getting a lot of love in the love department, too.”
