Eva Longoria: from hunting animals to be able to eat to success as an actress and failed loves

He is one of the big stars of the show. But Eva Longoria he carries a past that he dared to reveal not long ago, so that everyone would know that no one gave him anything and that everything he has is thanks to his sacrifice.

Eva was born on March 15, 1975 in Texas, United States, but she never forgot the Spanish and Mexican roots of her parents, Eva Mireles Y Enrique Longoria. She is the youngest of four sisters with whom she has a very good relationship despite the fact that during her childhood and adolescence it was not so. On some occasion the actress commented that they are united in a great relationship, beyond certain events that they went through when they were young. Experiences that he does not forget, but that he forgave.

His career began in 2000 after a frustrated foray into the world of modeling: his height (1.57) closed the doors to him in a world of absurd and dangerous demands. She was rejected by all the agencies she appeared in, with the motive used over and over again: her stature. He barely ran a handful of graphic campaigns.

At that time, already turning the page to leave that frustration behind, Longoria obtained a small participation in the last installment of the youth series Beverly Hills 90210, in 2000. It was a television event and I knew that it did not have to be out of tune. Four years later he achieved success with his leading role in Desperate Housewives (Desperate housewives). That was his take-off to always go up and down without stopping.

At that time, she remembered that her sisters made her life impossible and she even thought she was adopted. He asked his parents that question, and he did not believe the answer, beyond the fact that they denied it even by showing him the birth certificate. “When I was little they called me Ugly Duckling because I was very dark and thin, and my sisters were light and blonde. That led me to have to resort to a sense of humor to shape my personality, “he told The truth, a Spanish medium.

Along with all that, he also suffered from shortages. Needs that led her, along with her family, to search for it. The Longorians lived on an estate they had inherited. There, when there was nothing to eat, little Eva went hunting with her father, with whom she always had a great relationship: “When I was a girl, I hunted deer, rabbits, turkeys, wild pigs and all kinds of animals that crossed. Before I hunted to eat, and now I order food and they bring it to the table, “he said in 2006 in an interview with The Oprah Winfrey Show, talking about your achievements, without forgetting your past.

“We did not do it out of cruelty, we did it because we really had nothing to eat. That was our dinner that we put on the table and shared with my family when we had nothing else, “he added. The clarification came after being in the crosshairs of several non-profit animal protection organizations, who put their eye on his words.

The food question penetrated deep into his soul. To such an extent, that he achieved a gastronomic empire since he began to earn money with the series. He founded two restaurants and even edited a cookbook, Eva’s Kitchen: cooking with love for family and friends. The peculiarity is that she does not have sophisticated recipes, but they are all those that she made at home when she was little. “It is much more than a cookbook. It is a memory of my life through food, “he said.

When it comes to love, Eva Longoria also went through bad experiences. The first disappointment since it became known belongs to the actor Tyler christopher. They met on the series General Hospital during 2002. A few months later they passed through the altar, but there the debacle began. After two years, when there was nothing to do to light the flame, they parted ways.

At the time she admitted that she should not have married, that she was very young and that she was not ready to take that step. A few months after the distancing he met JC Chazez, former member of the band N’Sync. This relationship did not prosper either: they did not manage to reach even a year.

Almost at the same time, without taking a break in solitude, the basketball player came into his life French Tony parker. Eager to reverse their loving path, they went through the altar. The specific day, for kabbalah reasons, was the 7th of the 7th month, of the year that ends with the same number. However, none of that saved her from it all ending three years later. The actress and the former hillside of Manu Ginobili in the Spurs They ended the relationship involved in infidelity scandals: Eva discovered that Parker had a parallel relationship with her partner’s partner Brent barry.

In 2010 they divorced. Longoria erased the two tattoos that she had in reference to Parker and was immersed in a great depression. “She is surprised, she was not expecting it. She is desolate, “commented a close friend, while asking the press not to make photographic guards on her because the actress’s condition was not the best.

In this of wanting to help her, her friend Penelope Cruz introduced him to his brother, Eduardo Cruz. It was his fourth media romance and the illusion that it was finally the one. During 2011 they came and went, they showed themselves together, but before the end of the year it was all over, and they continued on different paths. It was always said that it was not love, that Eva tried to get her ex-partner out of her head and heart, looking for little more than fun.

Then the football player would arrive Mark Sanchez, 12 years younger. The relationship was almost on par with Cruz, at some point they coincided, so it failed to prosper. They met on a television show, but were together for less than a year. Between her artistic career and his sports career, they hardly even saw each other.

The sixth known romance was the businessman Fernando Arguello. The end? Announced. They were dating for four months, nothing more. However, here the separation stands out on good terms. They understood that there was no love, other than that they got along. Today they are great friends.

The seventh, the one that came in the order of his favorite number, is Jose Pepe Baston. They met in 2013 and she is her current partner. Who is it about? From the Programming Manager Televisa. In 2015 they got married and had a big party in Dubai. In June 2018, at age 43, Eva became a mother for the first time when she gave birth to Santiago Enrique. In this way, and after several frustrated attempts, he achieved his mission: to start a family. It was not easy for him, but in the end his dream could come true, as it happened with every aspect of his life.
