There’s Hope!
Eva Longoria was divorced twice, first from actor Tyler Christopher, then from NBA star Tony Parker. In 2013, a mutual friend introduced her to Mexican businessman José "Pepe" Bastón. There was no spark at first. Six months later, the same friend tried again, and this time they talked for four hours over lunch. They married in 2016 and welcomed their son, Santiago, in 2018.
On her podcast, she explained why this marriage feels different. "I remember being so jealous and your stomach is inside out," she said of her earlier relationships. "I found Pepe when I was 40 and he was 50. It was just like, 'Can we just enjoy this life together?' I mean, I do yell at him for the toothbrush or something like that still."
