In the Febrary issue of Self magazine, Eva Longoria reveals she is a real-life Desperate Housewife who flies thousands of miles a week to see her husband.
The resident primetime babe says she commutes about three times a week from her job in Los Angeles to San Antonio, Texas where hubby Tony Parker plays basketball for the San Antonio Spurs. The 32-year-old actress, who now goes by the name Eva Longoria Parker, says she loves married life so much that she is willing to clock up thousands of miles each week.
And while her career is riding high, she cannot not wait until 2011 when her Desperate Housewives contract ends — to have kids!
Eva on how she caters to her husband Tony Parker: “Some people commute to work in a car. I commute by plane about three times a week. Even if I have one day off, I’m in Texas. We’re so excited to be married. I’m like: ‘Hi, husband’, and he’s like: ‘Hi, wife.’ There’s a sense of: ‘Wow, our lives are going on to the next step’.”Eva on how she cannot wait until her Desperate Housewives contract ends: “Tony and I want healthy children, as many as we can have - three, four, five. We think about adopting too. We’ll wait a year and see. I want to work as much as I can now and pay my dues so later I can focus on my family and enjoy the fruits of my labour.”
Eva on how she met Tony: “My dad wanted to meet the players. I’d just come back from Paris, so when I met Tony, who’s from France, I said: ‘Bonjour. Je m’appelle Eva’. He spoke back in French. I didn’t understand but I was smitten. Our first date was at IHOP. It was funny; I’d never heard of Tony. He had no idea who I was, either.”
Eva on being youngest of four girls: “One time I lit the ranch on fire. My sisters never let me forget it. It was a little fire…only an acre. We play with fireworks at Christmas and one year - OK, only a few years ago - one of mine set a big bush on fire. We had to do a water-bucket line to put it out, like in Little House on the Prairie.”
Eva on her strict workout routine: “I love my trainer, Patrick Murphy, but I hope every day that he cancels - that he gets stuck in traffic and doesn’t come. But I get really skinny when I don’t work out. When I do, I think: ‘I worked out today. I can do anything’.”
