Eva Longoria And Eduardo Cruz Call It Quits

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Eva Longoria and Eduardo Cruz split after a yearlong romantic relationship ensued briefly following the “Desperate Housewives” divorce from NBA player Tony Parker.

No word from the actress or her decade younger beau, but a close source to the couple confirmed to US WEEKLY on Thursday that the laid back Latino pair has indeed split.

“It was a mutual decision. They are staying friends.”

Oddly enough, the doting couple was spotted just last month celebrating their one-year mark on a boat in Miami looking unfazed or troubled.

The sexy duo was introduced by Eduardo’s sister, actress Penelope Cruz, who played matchmaker and acquainted the two at a party back in October 2010. The timing was a bit questionable (rebound?) because it was awfully close to the juncture of Longoria announcing her split from then-husband Tony Parker. Rebound or not, the slender actress spoke about how fond she was of Eduardo.

“The only thing I will say is I was very lucky to find Edu (Eduardo).”

Eva, 36, was married to actor Tyler Christopher before tying the knot with Tony, pegging herself as someone “who is not good at dating.” She filed for divorce from Parker after catching the ball player sexting continuously with Spur’s player Brent Barty’s wife.

Cheating doesn’t seem to be the case for the charming pair, and some are saying this break is not permanent. For now, Cruz headed back to Madrid, Spain while Longoria is throwing herself into work, specifically Desperate Housewives.

 

 

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
