The 43-year-old actor will take the stage to perform "I'm Just Ken" at the upcoming 96th Academy Awards on Sunday night, Variety reported last month.
In January, Mendes, who has been in a relationship with Gosling since they met on the set of the 2012 movie The Place Beyond the Pines, also celebrated Gosling scoring an Academy Award nomination for his role in Barbie. She shared a tribute to him on Instagram by way of posting screenshots of articles that doubted his ability to play Ken when photos of him in the smash hit movie were first released in June 2022.
"So proud of my man. So much hate when he took on this role," Mendes wrote in a caption to her post. "So many people trying to shame him for doing it."

"Despite all the #Notmyken ridicule and articles written about him, he created this completely original, hilarious, heartbreaking, now iconic character and took it all the way to Oscars," she added in her caption. "So beyond proud to be this Ken’s Barbie 💕"
Mendes — who shares daughters Esmeralda, 9, and Amada, 7, with Gosling — has been the actor's #1 supporter throughout this awards season; she shared a GIF on Instagram of Gosling's humorous reaction to winning best song for "I'm Just Ken" at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards following the Jan. 14 ceremony.
"I LOVE HIM!!!!" Mendes wrote in a caption to that post.

Gosling's nomination for playing Ken — one of eight total nominations Barbie received for the 96th Oscars — marks the third time in his career he has been recognized by the Academy, following his roles in 2006's Half Nelson and 2016's La La Land. When the actor himself reacted to his nomination, he took time to note his disappointment that neither his costar Margot Robbie nor their director Greta Gerwig were up in the Best Actress or Best Director categories.
"There is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally-celebrated film. No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius," Gosling said in a statement shared with PEOPLE. He added that to say he's disappointed Robbie and Gerwig were not nominated in their respective categories "would be an understatement."
