Eva Longoria Files for Divorce From Tony Parker

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 17th 2010 12:33PM

This time it's real. Eva Longoria has filed for divorce from basketball star Tony Parker, PEOPLE reports.

The actress filed for the split in a Los Angeles court. She cites "irreconcilable differences" as a reason for the split and recently there has been speculation that Parker cheated on his wife.

According to Usmagazine.com, the San Antonio Spurs point guard has been texting a friend of his wife's for nearly a year, which he confessed to Eva after she confronted him

"Eva is heartbroken by the betrayal," a source told the magazine. "Once the trust was lost, the marriage was over."

The insider adds, "Eva truly thought she was going to grow old with Tony and have children with him. She's inconsolable."

And Extra reports that Longoria told close friend Mario Lopez the woman in question was the wife of one of Parker's teammates.

"Eva wants everyone to know, she's devastated by the rumors of Tony's infidelity. She loved her husband and is heartbroken about their split. But she's strong," Lopez said.

Again? We Ask Folks on the Street About the Latest Cheating Athlete Scandal:

Eva took to her Twitter account Wednesday to make an announcement about the split. "It is with great sadness that after 7 years together, Tony and I have decided to divorce. We love each other deeply and pray for each other's happiness," she wrote.

Tuesday, rumors about an impending separation spread online. However, just minutes after TMZ claimed the pair filed for divorce on Monday in a Texas court, a rep for the 'Desperate Housewives' beauty called the story "100% false."

Longoria's publicist, Liza Anderson, did not expand on the denial in her comment to X17Online, nor did an unnamed Parker rep in a similar statement ("100% false") to CelebBuzz.

TMZ quickly corrected themselves, admitting that they received some bad information from two clerks at the Bexar County Courthouse in Texas, who claimed the case was filed and sealed by a family law judge.

The couple married three years ago. The actress announced her engagement to the Spurs player in November 2006, and the couple wed in Parker's native France the following year.

The 'Desperate Housewives' star was previously married to 'General Hospital' actor Tyler Christopher from 2002-04.

This isn't the first time an infidelity scandal has plagued the two. In 2007, a number of tabloids reported that Parker had cheated on Longoria with model Alexandra Paressant. The couple denied the claims and were eventually issued an apology from X17Online, which claimed to have been misled by Paressant.

@ Sexy KoKo:

Are you serious? French is a nationality. It is a not an ethnicity or race. And while there are ethnic groups from France they are not called French. There are Black Frenchmen as well as White.

By heidecko

Response to "JackConnard": Thanks for the stats, but a CHEATER is a CHEATER! From the sounds of it, he's not a very good TEAMMATE either! Can you say impending TRADE?! Married 3 years & started cheating in his 2nd year of marriage? Add THAT to your stats!

Tony is several years younger than her and they had a split before they got married. Atheletes have way too many chica dees after them.
And by the way tony is cute!!

@Stewart Allen, you might be the only person on the planet that will describe Tony Parker as butt ugly. Hatin' doesn't look good on you, my man.

By Brends

Yeah, and I dont think she is "white" either...lol

By astenson

Boring!!! Do we really care please. Get it right first, because last night they denied it.

By joe

these athelites.never get the message..these bimbos marry these guys for the cash settlement....BONGO

By shrlyn

she has her own money!!!

By Willow

God do men like you ever have anything different to say? The same old boring song about women marrying athletes for their money. As if! She has her own money and she sure doesn't need him OR his money.

Get over yourselves. Just because you're tall and can put a ball in a hoop doesn't make you anything special. Most of you can put your little 3" of flesh in just about anything you can find (living, breathing or otherwise) and that sure doesn't make you anything special.

The old goldigging thing is just that..."OLD". Nowadays, many men marry women for THEIR money. Times have changed moron..get with the program!

By marisol

@shrlyn...Eva may very well have money, but I just heard on TMZ that she filed for spousal support....Go figure

What are you, retarded? She has more money than he does!

By New York

Excuse me but Eva has her own money. Tony is a low life for what he did not only to his wife but his teammate. What this shows is he has no respoect for anyone. Eva it is a good thing you found out before you had children with him. I know God has a plan for you. I hope you meet someone who is not an actor,sports figure Hollywood type. I rarely works. Tony can join the ranks of Jesse, Tiger & the rest of the losers.
