The show was a huge hit, and Longoria became a household name. She won several awards, including a Golden Globe nomination, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and an ALMA Award. She also became one of the highest-paid TV actresses, earning $375,000 per episode.
Longoria used her fame and fortune to pursue other projects and interests. She starred in films such as Over Her Dead Body, The Sentinel, and Harsh Times. She also produced and directed several TV shows and documentaries, such as Devious Maids, Telenovela, and Reversing Roe.
She launched her own clothing line, fragrance, and restaurant. She also founded the Eva Longoria Foundation, which aims to empower Latinas through education and entrepreneurship.
Longoria also became a prominent voice for social and political issues, especially those affecting the Latino community. She co-founded the Latino Victory Project, which supports Latino candidates and voters.
She also endorsed and campaigned for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, and spoke at the Democratic National Convention in 2012 and 2016.
She also advocated for immigration reform, women’s rights, and environmental protection. She once said, “I don’t want to be known as just an actress. I want to be known as a citizen of the world, who happens to act.”
Personal Life and Happiness
Longoria has had her share of ups and downs in her personal life. She has been married and divorced twice, first to actor Tyler Christopher, and then to basketball player Tony Parker.
She revealed that she suffered from depression after her divorce from Parker, and that she relied on therapy and medication to cope. She also struggled with infertility, and underwent several rounds of IVF treatments.
However, Longoria found happiness again when she met Jose Antonio Baston, a Mexican businessman and media mogul. The couple got married in 2016, in a lavish ceremony in Mexico.
In 2018, they welcomed their first child, a son named Santiago Enrique. Longoria described motherhood as “the best thing that ever happened to me.” She also said that Baston is “the best husband I could have ever asked for.”
