The secret of Eva Longoria's slimness
This week, Eva Longoria is under the spotlight: the Desperate Housewives star officially became the host of the MTV EMA 2010 ceremony, which took place on November 7 in Madrid. What is the secret of Eva's luxurious figure?
Eva Longoria is Mexican by origin, which means that she grew up on tasty and high-calorie food.
“Enchiladas, tortillas... - I love everything,” said Eva, until she entered the ratings of Hollywood stars of the first magnitude.
Eating Eve
To stay in shape, the actress still had to slightly reconsider her taste preferences. To resist the temptations of too-fatty foods, flavored with sauces and cheese, Eva Longoria cooks her own meals at home. And now she has been the owner of her own restaurants for two years now.
“My wife knows how to make Mexican specialties without loading up the food with all the extra fat that comes with fast food,” says Longoria's husband, Tony Parker. – Tortilla soup with fresh homemade ingredients is our favorite. It's a great way to enjoy a treat without adding extra calories."
However, as Eva Longoria herself admits, she still needs a diet from time to time.
Personal life
Eva met her first husband, artist Tyler Christopher, while filming the TV series “Hospital.” But their life together did not work out right away, and the couple separated after 2 years of marriage, in 2004.

Eva's personal life improved in the fall of 2006, when she became engaged to French basketball player Tony Parker. A symbolic date was chosen for the wedding - July 7, 2007 (07/07/2007). Eva took her husband's surname.
The couple married in the 12th-century Roman Catholic church, famous for being the site of French monarchs' weddings. But the place covered in legends could not save this marriage. In January 2011, the couple divorced, as a result of which Longoria returned her maiden name. The separation was painless, since in this union the spouses did not have any children together.

During her second marriage, thanks to her athlete husband, Eva met the Beckhams. The friendship between Eva and Victoria remained even after the breakup with her husband. In 2012, Longoria was invited as godmother to the daughter of Harper's friends.
In December 2015, Eva announced that her new lover, Mexican entrepreneur José Antonio Bastón, owner of the largest media company in Latin America, Televisa, proposed marriage to her. The wedding took place six months later. Longoria's wedding dress was designed and attended by close friend Victoria Beckham.

Many fans and TV viewers consider Eva one of the sexiest women. Since the actress is the face of the French brand L'Oreal Paris, the position makes the Hollywood star look great. People around them also note the clothes in which Longoria appears in public. Looking through the photos of Eva, fans enthusiastically comment on the idol’s street style, snow-white smile and haircut.
Eva herself believes that she achieved a similar result thanks to her efforts, because even in her youth she learned to be savvy, to develop individuality and personal qualities. In addition, according to Eva, she carefully gets rid of makeup every evening, performing a complete beauty ritual.
“A sexy woman is, first of all, a woman who is confident in herself,” says Eva Longoria.

Eva Longoria and her son Santiago
In 2017, American tabloids increasingly began to discuss the celebrity’s personal life, suggesting that she was pregnant. Photos of Longoria with a noticeable baby bump appeared on Instagram. Reporters and subscribers were right - on June 19, 2021, Longoria gave birth to her son Santiago Enrique Bastón. A month later, mother and child became the heroes of the cover of the American magazine HOLA!.

Vegetable diet - to be in shape
Eva Longoria, with a height of only 157, weighs 44 kg. And so that the extra pounds don’t put her petite figure in the best light, the actress carefully monitors her diet. She fell in love with healthy foods like Brussels sprouts and spinach simply because they help her stay slim. If you need to lose weight quickly, Eva includes up to 70% fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs in her diet.
This was the case, for example, when Longoria saw the revealing wardrobe of her character Gabriella from Desperate Housewives. The actress immediately realized that she would have to take her body seriously. In addition to the vegetable diet, gymnastics helped the girl a lot.
“As a child, I played basketball, gymnastics, was in a cheerleading group... - in general, I was interested in everything. I wasn’t very good at all of these activities, but I was very nimble,” says Eva Longoria.
Movies
The persistent and stubborn girl soon managed to achieve her goal. With the help of a hired agent, she received a cameo role in the TV series Beverly Hills. This was followed by a "guest role" on a daytime soap opera called General Hospital. Eva Longoria was noticed and invited to play the hysterical and capricious character Isabella Branya Williams in the series “The Young and the Restless.”
"The Young and the Restless"
The actress has been playing in this film for almost 3 years, starting in 2001. But during this period, the American does not wait for mercy from fate, but persistently searches for the next role. Eve finds her in the serial film, which was filmed by director Dick Wolf. The film was called “Strong Network”.
Hard work and constant improvement of acting skills lead to the desired star role: Longoria receives an offer to star in the mega-popular series “Desperate Housewives” in the image of Gabrielle Solis. In 2004, when the film was released, Eva woke up world famous. The actress gained an army of fans and also received the first prestigious Golden Globe Award.

Fish diet - because it's delicious!
Her husband was born in Belgium and raised in France. And while traveling with her husband to his small homeland, Eva simply fell in love with French cuisine, which, as you know, is replete with fish and seafood products.
So Eva Longoria discovered another way to lose weight - a fish diet.
“I chose this particular diet because it’s tasty and not as hard as sticking to just kefir and apples. In addition, it gives a positive effect very quickly. Red meat is generally very fattening, and I have never liked chicken. Therefore, for me, a fish diet is an interesting solution to the problem of excess weight,” says Eva Longoria.
In addition, in the evenings, the actress drinks fish oil every evening without fail, and during the diet she even replaces dinner with it. According to her, this natural supplement has an excellent effect on the condition of the skin, hair and nails, and also stimulates metabolism.

The developers stated that the spray instantly masks regrown roots and gray hair, acting on the principle of dry spraying, which allows you to achieve maximum effect. Despite the interesting presentation, Russians were very wary of the product, because users left a large number of negative reviews about the product on the official website of the brand, commenting on the release of the spray in the USA.
In November 2021, it became known that Eva Longoria had created a clothing collection together with The Limited brand. Festive and casual dresses, blouses, T-shirts, skirts and jackets were presented.
