Eva Longoria Still Cries Over Tony Parker: Candid Details on Her Divorce

By Jo Piazza Posted Mar 15th 2011 10:35AM

Eva Longoria has been single since last November, but she still cries when she thinks about her split from basketball player Tony Parker.

"It's been -- every time I talk about it, I want to cry. It's been hard. Very hard. I'm just trying to get through it as gracefully as possible without any drama," Longoria says in the April issue of Allure.

Longoria filed for divorce from San Antonio Spurs star Parker last November after three years of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences." Their break had followed months of speculation that Parker cheated on her.

Longoria allegedly found hundreds of text messages on Parker's phone from Erin Barry, the wife of Parker's former San Antonio Spurs teammate Brent Barry. Parker denied any physical relationship with Erin Barry and filed his own divorce papers in November

But the split has Longoria lookng for new routines. "I'm kind of having to find new patterns because I'm not used to having -- I'm used to always being on a plane and flying to a basketball game."

With her marriage over, Longoria is also getting a little help from her lady friends.

"You know, some people collect plates and stamps and coins. I collect people, I collect amazing, smart, interesting women," the desperate ex-housewife tells the mag.

"Two actors who I lean on heavily for life advice are Marcia Cross and Felicity [Huffman]. We're like sisters," Longoria says.

She may be a big star now, but back in the day she was earning minimum wage flipping burgers in a Wendy's.

"I still remember the order to put things on the burger: Mayonnaise, ketchup, pickles, onions, tomato, lettuce, mustard. Would you like some fries with that?" Longoria says.

For the cover shoot, makeup artist Stephane Marais had a definite concept in mind. "I wanted to make her look incredibly sexy, like Sophia Loren," said makeup artist Stephane Marais, who focused on her eyes. "She's a lashes freak -- the more I added, the happier she was," he says.

More from the interview:

On her next phase in life: "I'm in a transition stage, settling into a new routine, and I welcome it."

On the legacy of 'Desperate Housewives': "'Desperate Housewives' was groundbreaking for Latinos in television because the Solises were the richest people on the block -- and they're Mexican."

On being racy in past interviews: "It's hard for me to censor myself, because I like to be honest and free and say exactly what I'm thinking of feeling. Unfortunately, so many things are taken out of context, and [now] I'm a little more cautious about what I say."

Well, if she still cries when she thinks about him it certainly did not stop her from moving on to another before the ink was even dry on the divorce papers. Please! These Hollywood people go through more relationships than a baby's diaper gets changed. It would not surprise me a bit that half of them are related considering how they knock each other up and then move on the another.

so what are you saying she should have stayed with him, even though he cheated on her and lied to her telling how much he loved her all the while sleeping with other women, why should she wait for the ink to dry I am sure he did not wait for them to even been drawn up ! He is a cheater, once a cheater always a cheater !

You are right on girl.. Bravo! I did not know that she had another boyfriend right after Tony. She does work fast just like in her tv show.

By Trouble

Yeah, she looks shattered lip-smacking with a young man. She is an opportunist. I doubt she has shed a tear. She collects women friends and young players. Go tell someone who cares. Its all about the publicity. Her 15 mins of fame is pretty much over.

Black men are not easy to get over; for various reasons - Eva knows that now

By becky

By gringo

As a former colligiate athlete, you are so wrong! Size, intensity, desire, etc. does not have a race! White, Yellow, Brown, Tan, Green, are also very hard to get over!

By Doc

Maybe in your next life you can experience one and then you will be able to respond from real life experience?

brian; thats not what your girlfriend said

By Jim

Thats true.Because they usually go from BF/husband to stalker.
Black men are the WORST possible choice for a mate for many reasons.
THATS what she has learned.

By jbchartford

Speech...you are pathetic and delusional

doc, you sound like you experienced a black man before -care to share??

By Goyo

She screwed up by leaving Tony Parker , he was "somebody" , there is no man that is in the limelight like Tony Parker who will be faithful forever and ever; she will just have to try her thrid time at marriage and maybe again again until she is in her mid fifties and her "dream Man" is in his 70's then ereectal disfunction will be the issue !!
What a waste !!
))))))))GO SPURS GO ((((((((
