Eva Longoria Confirms She's Pregnant With Her First Child
Eva Longoria is one busy woman. Not only is she producing a new family comedy for Fox, continuing her work as a spokesperson for L’Oréal, and starring in the upcoming remake of the classic film Overboard, but she’s also about to become a new mom.
According to E! News, the actress confirmed that she is expecting a baby with her husband, Jose Bastón. It will be the couple’s first child together and Bastón’s fourth. As E! noted, the actress, who is 42, has long been open about her desire to have children one day, but always remained steadfast that she wasn’t in a rush.
“If it happens, it happens, if it’s meant to be it would be a blessing,” Longoria told Ocean Drive in 2016. She additionally told People that she has never felt like she is missing out on motherhood, especially because of her special connection with her stepchildren. “[My stepchildren] have been such a gift in my life. I don’t feel like we’re lacking because we don’t have a baby,” she said.
The actual pregnancy news must come as quite the relief for Longoria’s family, who have long endured fake pregnancy rumors from tabloids for years. Just last April Longoria was vacationing in Hawaii at the Four Seasons Maui in Wailea with her husband and decided to share a few of the sun-soaked moments with her fans on Snapchat. But mere moments after her snap went live rumors began to swirl that the actress and producer was expecting. Longoria was quick to shut those stories down, again taking to Snapchat to say, “I saw some pictures of myself on a boat, and I have to tell you all I did was eat cheese. Everybody is saying I’m pregnant, and I’m not. I was just lactose-intolerant apparently.”
Longoria didn’t stop there. She added, “I just had to share because my whole family is calling me asking me if I’m pregnant. Yes, I look pregnant, but that was just a ball of cheese in my stomach…everybody gets bloated. I’m not bloated today, but this is pre-pancake. I’m about to go eat a pancake.”
