American actress Eva Longoria has built an impressive resume over the years. For example, she appeared in a Ricky Martin video in 1999, broke through all over the world as Gabrielle Solis in Desperate Housewives, and by now she has also gained a lot of experience as a producer and director. Behind the scenes of all this glitz and glamour, Eva has now been happily married for several years and has a baby with her husband. We briefly introduce him to you.
Long career
So back in 1999, Eva Longoria made her first appearance in the spotlight. Indeed, the then only 24-year-old actress appeared in the video for Ricky Martin’s hit song Shake your Bon-bon. Not long after, she was an extra in the wildly popular series Bevery Hills, 90210 and her first recurring TV role came in 2001. That is when she was, in fact, featured in the soap The Young and the Restless.
Two marriages
Meanwhile, the actress married actor Tyler Christopher, who was then playing in the series General Hospital . Salient detail: Mr. Christopher was previously engaged to co-actress Vanessa Marcil. She played the role of Brenda Barrett. Eva Longoria also appeared one episode in the hospital series, where she had the role of, yes, Brenda Barrett lookalike. Well, let’s just say that Longoria’s ex-hubby had a definite type.
However, their marriage did not last, and in 2004 the couple broke up. In November 2004, Eva Longoria met basketball player Tony Parker. In August 2005, the two announced they were officially a couple, and in November 2006, Parker got down on one knee for the actress. In November 2010, however, this relationship also ended. A messy divorce followed, with Longoria revealing that Parker had quite a few contacts with another woman. Painful!
Three times lucky
After this, things remained quiet on the love front for the beautiful actress for a while, until a friend sent her on a blind date. One thing led to another, and in May 2016 the actress married the man with whom she is still completely happy today. And that blind date? It almost didn’t happen, she told me later!
Wondering why that date almost fell through and who her husband is? Then read on the next page!
