Watching the beloved Spurs live at The Alamodome in San Antonio gives you a double treat, with the live basketball action and the pretty face sitting behind the home team bench. This pretty face have been a fixture at the Spurs games since 2006. She is no other than Desperate Housewives' Eva Longoria, the wife of the Spurs French point guard and recent NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) Tony Parker.
Eva Longoria was never like other mainstream female celebrities who made it big in show business. She did not have any relatives or close knit people in the industry. She made it on sheer luck, by giving it a shot in a talent contest that led her to Los Angeles and Hollywood of course, from obscurity to popularity. Two words which seem far opposites and irreconcilable but are trademarks in Eva's career.
Eva Longoria and her three siblings grew up as farm girls in Corpus Christi, Texas. She was raised by her parents Enrique Longoria, Jr. and Ella Eva Miriles, in their family owned farm land that was passed on by the previous generation. Eva lived the life of a county girl, studying in the public schools in the area from elementary up to high school. They were not well off since the farm does not earn much money. Longoria's college years was also spent in the Lonestar Star State at the Texas A & M University - Kingsville. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology.
After graduation, she joined the beauty pageant in her home county, Nueces, and became their borough's representative. She was then known as Miss Corpus Christi, USA in 1998. This was the beginning of her showbiz career. Soon she joined a talent contest that brought her to Hollywood.
Her first television appearance was in the year 2000, where she became a guest in one of Beverly Hills 90210 episodes. Since then, she had a lot of TV Series appearances such as The Young and The Restless, The Talent Agency, and Dragnet, just to mention a few. She was also in the movies The Sentinel and The Harsh Times. It is in the series Desperate Housewives where she made it real big, playing the character of Gabrielle Solis.
On the personal level, Longoria had her share of disappointments with her love affair. First she was married to Actor Tyler Christopher for almost two years, from 2002-2004. She got her divorce papers. She was also linked to the likes of Sean Farris, JC Chasez of N'Sync, and the writer Milan Garcanin.
Eva finally settled down with the Frenchman diminutive baller -of course by NBA Standards, standing at 6'2", in Tony Parker. They admitted the relationship in public just around last year. The two got married in Paris last 6 July 2oo7. It was a fitting victory for the couple, with the Spurs getting the NBA Finals trophy via a four game sweep of the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers, Tony getting the MVP award, and Eva looking for another successful season of Desperate Housewives.
