What in the world is going on with Eva Longoria? Goodness. First it was TMZ and E! News, then it was People Magazine, and now her marriage/divorce drama has taken the cover of Us Weekly. Us Weekly’s sources tell them that Eva and Tony’s marriage is in serious trouble after she caught him exchanging “personal texts” with a “mutual female friend” for nearly a year. They also claim that Eva is “heartbroken” and that she wants to end the marriage and Tony is the one who wants to stick it out. This goes against TMZ’s story that Tony was the one to file for divorce in Texas. I’d also like to note something peculiar – Eva’s rep went around to every major media outlet yesterday and made them print retractions and denials about an impending divorce, and if the divorce is happening, Eva just lost a lot of media support for pulling what little rank she had over a series of lies.
Eva Longoria Parker and Tony Parker have split after three years of marriage, Us Weekly reveals in its newest issue, on stands Wednesday. Multiple sources tell Us Weekly that Longoria Parker, 35, recently discovered that her husband, 28, has been exchanging personal texts with a mutual female friend for nearly a year — hundreds in just one month.
She plans to file for divorce soon, sources tell Us.
“Eva is heartbroken by the betrayal,” says one insider, adding that her husband confessed to the inappropriateness – which took place for nearly a year – after she confronted him.
Adds another friend, “Once the trust was lost, the marriage was over.”Nonetheless, the decision to end one of Hollywood’s most affectionate and glamorous romances wasn’t easy.
“Eva truly thought she was going to grow old with Tony and have children with him,” adds the pal. “She’s inconsolable.”
Longoria Parker’s rep had no comment; Parker’s rep could not be reached.
For more – including Longoria Parker’s confrontation with the other woman and how he “does not want to end the marriage” – pick up the new Us Weekly, on stands now.
[From Us Weekly]
Surprisingly, this Us Weekly story sounds like the one sanctified by Eva’s people, and maybe all of the other stuff was Tony not following her script, as Lainey theorized yesterday. I don’t want to punch Eva when she’s down, so I’m not even going to ask what you think the chances are of Eva and Tony pulling through. But I will say this – at the very least, Eva is getting headlines, right? That must make her happy.

He just LOOKS like a cheating, skeevy a$$hole.
This is sounding like Tiger Woods deja vu. Is it the new November sweeps?!
This is going to get messy fast. Like I said before Tony has learned from the champ of cheating(Tiger)
Even when you’re married to one of the most annoying women in the world-still unacceptable to ever cheat. You want out? Get out. But this is bs. You don’t let it go on for a year-that’s just dirty.
I am not a huge fan, but finding Sexts sucks. Been there, done that.
I feel for her. Yeah, she is no doubt a diva type, but he married her, he knew she was.
Oh well, what did we expect after a glut of engagements?
“One of Hollywood’s most affectionate and glamorous romances” – really?
He sounds like a real douche.
Why waste the time and energy (even when it’s someone else’s) running around, issuing denials for something that’s true?
I mean, yes, it’s embarrassing when your husband turns out to be a wanker. But you really need to get out in front of it.
@ Kaiser – ITA w/you re: her loss of what little media support she had.
I really like them as a couple. I am really kinda sad to hear about this.
And like Devilgirl, BTDT but didn’t have the glare of rag mags tailing me through it.
Geez.
And no Kaiser, these types of headlines do not make a person happy. 🙁
I’m not interested in either of these people, except to note that there’s something piggish and unpleasant looking about his face.
Love her. But all of these pro basketball players cheat. If it was going on for a year, there is nothing left to work on. She’s still young and needs to move on. He’s younger than her and likes a little fun on the side and it is the way it will always be if she stays with him, even though he loves her.
Is she really only 35?
I seem to remember how flippant she was about a certain other couple’s divorce. Well, there ya go.
sad, so sad.
This is sad if true!!! Going through a rough patch must be a million times worse when you are in the public eye.
@jayna…..the world will be a much easier and happier place to live in, the day women accept men for who they are. She breaks up with him, and moves to the next one, and he will cheat again. There is not a man on planet earth who will be satisfied with bonning one woman, they need variety, the thrill of a new conquest, a different body to bone, they need a new piece every now and then, no matter how much they love you. Get with the programme……
athletes cheat.
And to think back on all the hoopla surrounding their wedding. They got married (twice actually) on what was considered the luckiest day of the year 7/7/07. Sad to see it fall apart like this however it’s not a surprise.
With sexting on the rise you’d think high profile couples would know better. Like don’t they of all people know not to leave any kind of a trail if they’re cheating whether it be e-mail, texts, or voicemails. Bigger question is why don’t they ever delete the messages they receive from the other person? Not that I condone cheating but these people are not being very smart.
Maybe this is all a very innocent misunderstanding. Eva and the rest of us should keep an open mind. Perhaps Tony thought it was Bret Farve he was sexting with pics of his frolicking phallic.
@slymm27 – I really really hope that’s not true. I cannot believe that there are not men out there who want to be monogamous.
Well we didn’t have any breakups this week so we were due for one. As a couple they always seemed forced and fake to me . And if you marry an athlete or a rockstar you can pretty much plan on them cheating.
He just always looked to me like a sleazy charactor, Also I kinds of always thought of him as sort of gay looking, not that anything is wrong with that,, seeing that I am a lesbian
well i can’t say i feel sorry for her, i live in SA and have had the opportunity to see her being a real bitch in person at some of the spurs games…she is especially cold as ice to any female that is better looking than her…she comes off as friendly in LA but she is a major snob in town with the locals…too bad so sad about her situation
I don’t know why this is so shocking to everyone remember this happened shortly after they were married and they both vehemently denied he was cheating then. She must know that she looks like a fool. And if she was expecting to have kids with him what is she waiting for?
I just think for the most part younger men who have lots of opportunities for younger hotter women don’t make good husbands.
@ Jayna
Love her. But all of these pro basketball players cheat. If it was going on for a year, there is nothing left to work on. She’s still young and needs to move on. He’s younger than her and likes a little fun on the side and it is the way it will always be if she stays with him, even though he loves her.
=========
Very well said
On a side not, that dress is AMAZING.
Also, if he cheated, I wouldn’t be surprised. Not one bit.
OMG that black dress is hideous! That guy does have a sleazy look about him. I always thought Eva and Mario Lopez were more suited for each other.
Dang, I must be the only one surprise that it wasn’t her. I thought she would be the one caught cheating… 🙂 with her BFF Mario Lopez.
she looks 50
I am not surprised. They all cheat. And unfortunately I agree with @slymm27, I think most men, not all, but most of them cheat. Regardless of how much they love the person they are with.
@happy girl….i am sorry to be the bearer of such horrible news, but no….no man can be monogamous……they must always have something on the side, matters not if they work at the train station, or they teach sience class, or play pro sports. Men will cheat, stop breaking up with your boyfriends and hubby because they cheated on you, the next one will do the same, so whats the point anyway??? Huh?
I have a question:
Why don’t men, who feel the need to cheat, Sext, etc, have a secret “Bat phone” that they do it on and keep hidden? Why must they be so stupid? I always think, maybe they just want to be caught and get out of their situations.
*shrugs shoulders*
I also live in San Antonio and I’ve heard horror stories about both of them. He’s the biggest asshole of all the Spurs and when she’s in town you can tell it drives her nuts that he gets more attention than her. The Spurs are like gods here. I’ve known several people who’ve met them both and I think they deserve each other.
@slymm27…*taking off rose colored glasses*…you’re probably right. This makes me so sad because I’ve been waiting for someone who would be honest and faithful. Guess I’ll be remaining single =( …so…it is the consensus that a man can truly love a woman even if they cheat on her? I’ve always believed that if you love someone you would never do anything to hurt them (intentionally). Obviously, I’ve been living in a dream world, huh? I have to admit, I’ve never really been a realist. This sucks.
Can’t say I’m surprised, there have been rumors for a while. And it seems like the bigger the hoopla for the wedding, the shorter lived the marriage.
I find her really annoying, not sure why but I always have.
Don’t know much about him.
I don’t think ALL men cheat. I do thnk that all men who have the opportunity do. Some just don’t get the chance.
Why do these women marry pro athletes? I dont see the attraction. With the amount of action they get, its like a walking disease with a jersey. In 2010, why do women continue to think “once I marry him, he’ll be faithful”. These are beautiful, successful women who deserve someone that appreciates having someone like that to come home to. Not someone who is constantly looking for something new and improved.
@slymm27: “Men will cheat, stop breaking up with your boyfriends and hubby because they cheated on you”
Well, you’re right about one thing…don’t break up with him…at least not before you’ve banged his brother, best friend, boss, etc. Then you can tell him what all that glorious peen was like and how everyone is laughing behind his back right before you dump him. Lord knows the ladies can destroy their men in an instant..after all, their targets WILL ALWAYS SAY YES SINCE THEY ARE SUCH WEAK HUMAN BEINGS.
Or alternatively, all the ladies in the world could just simultaneously close our legs, and see how long we get treated like dogs by men. About 3 seconds is my guess. After a few months, we could all have a party and relay our stories about how all the men have resorted to doing each other up the ass like in prison:) We can rule the world if we want to..might as well face it…and we can hold out a long, long, looooooooooooooooooooooooooong time.
@happygirl who knows, I have a very good friend of mine who has a very faithful husband. I don’t think he would ever cheat, but again, who knows. There are no guarantees in life, you just have to take chances.
Why do all these gorgeous, sexy, talented, rich women pick guys who cheat? You’d think they would have their pick of men, and they pick the cheaters! I don’t get it.
Wonder who is the mutual friend with whom he cheated. it’s bad enough to be betrayed by your husband, but also by your friend? I feel terribly for her.
slymm27: while I appreciate the general tenor of your position, and agree that women should assume a man is a faithless piece of shit (to be on the safe side), no one can make the authoritative statement that all men cheat, as none of us know all the men. Furthermore, I disagree with the second half of your argument (that women should put up with it) because it does not flow as a natural conclusion of the first.
While it is true that most men are unfaithful, if a woman (or a man; read forthcoming pronouns neutrally) deems fidelity important, she need not amend her standards to conform with the values of the person flouting them. Why should her needs come second? Indeed she ought to move on. Might the next man stray? Yes, but then again, she can leave him too.
To stay presumes that the cheater/man has value exceeding the woman’s self-respect. Alternatively, the exhortation to stay implies men have an indefinite shelf life. I must say that I heartily disagree on both counts.
She’s wearing ice skates with that little black dress, isn’t she? To the topic at hand….if she shows up with a Kobe ring soon we’ll know what really happened.
@ Jezi..good point 🙂 Thanks! That’s so true. No guarantees, and gotta take chances. Right on!
Edit: @Embee…well said.
@Maritza – Mario is a cheater also didn’t he cheat on ali landry at his bachelor party the night before the wedding? I think I remember her divorcing him within a week of the marriage.
Also, I remember before Eva got with Tony she tried to present herself as this “Samantha Jones” type of woman playing hard to get and loving and leaving them but as soon as she saw she had a chance with super rich Tony she cut all the games and was a clinger.
@ Jules…that cracked me up! 🙂
Just saw she filed for divorce, sad.
“one of Hollywood’s most affectionate and glamorous romances” ?!?!?!
“To stay presumes that the cheater/man has value exceeding the woman’s self-respect.”
“she need not amend her standards to conform with the values of the person flouting them. Why should her needs come second?”
@Embee–you are brilliant!
I’ll pass this along to all celebrities and common folks alike.
Girls, Ladies, and Women; Don’t be with a him because of what he does to you, for you, or can do for you, or how he makes you look or feel. Be with a him because of the type of person he is.
Boys,Young Men, and Gentlemen: Don’t be with her because of the way she looks, what she does for you or to you, or how she makes you look or feel. Be with her because of the type of person she is.
I believe if you hold fast to this concept and really study the other person’s qualities, you’ll improve your odds of being with the right one.
I wonder if that woman from a couple of years ago was telling the truth when she claimed she had a fling w/ Tony ?
All men that have the oppurtunity will cheat,just not all of them will get caught.That’s the sad truth.The difference is that when they cheat it’s not emotional for them.They can sleep with another women and go back home and ly next to bed with their wife without feeling guilty at all.That’s how men are unfortunately.
‘According to People, Longoria was ‘totally and completely blindsided’ by fresh reports her 28-year-old NBA star husband has been unfaithful.
American showbiz website US Weekly has also reported Tony has allegedly been texting a mutual family friend ‘hundreds of times a month for almost a year.’
$20 it was with Kim K! She has to be connected some how..she always is
Loooooollll @ Jules
He’s a professional athlete, what did she expect? It’s almost like dating a rock star.
@ Jules – thanks!
But you presented a great solution – very well done!
TMZ is now reporting Eva filed divorce papers in LA this AM.
Who knows for sure but I think it’s over.
I vote splittsville — the guy is a dog and he’s been messing around. Sorry, no happy ending for these two.
I remember when they got married thinking it wouldn’t last… you can tell by his face that he’s not a particularly monogamous type. Why do women marry these idiots?
Lets face it guys, Parker is a muliti-champ mega-rich 27 year old star. No shit he prolly cheated. He was married at 25! How fucking young is that!?! And to be married to someone who is ten years older. I knew when they first married it wasn’t going to work( but then I think most people who marry nowadays wont work). Or maybe Im just biased as I live in S.A.
And for all those saying he looks like a douche, what does that have to do with anything? I fail to see how he fits into a stereotype y’all must have of young black ‘thugs’ considering he is French, born and raised. He didnt start playing American basketball til ’02.
We shouldnt be so dumb to believe that all men are faithful, but to say that all men would cheat if they have the opportunity to do so, is not right as well. Women cheat as well, at least as much as men do, only that we are better in hiding.
@ slimm27: Maybe you should consider working on your ego (sorry if you are a woman). Bonning random chicks is only a sign of a weak ego. Doesnt matter if it is an athelete or some normal guy.
So what we have are to poor egos which finally get divorced. What do we learn? Get to know each other well (like Rita pointed out), for yeeeaars, and then you can marry. This is no guarantee either… but… why always such a hurry with getting married? Look at the young royal couple, they made it right!
Eva was married before, I wonder what broke up that marriage? If Tony was having a affair I doubt it was just one woman.
Jessica’s got to be pissed that Eva snagged her cover!
Come on, tell me she didn’t see that coming!! BTW, your dress is torn in the back, Eva.
I always had this feeling about him. I mean he’s young and he’s an athlete and they were apart alot. So there u go.
What’s the big deal. Tony was just getting a little trim when she was too busy for him…
@lexa….lol!!!!! Btw, i am a woman, its just that i am a very realistic one. I can promise you there is no man who will give up the opportunity to cheat on his significant other if given the chance. How many of them will you break up with?? They all cheat, its like moving from frying pan to fire…. And then they go on and marry rock stars or athletes…..are you kidding me??? Its a hard cold world, only the realistic can pull through the murky waters of relationship and love withouth feeling too much pain.
Eva is a STAR and does not need headlines to make her happy. She is one the most beautiful women. This goes to show that most men can’t help themselves even when theres a strong, beautiful women by their side.
@PJ, it’s not like these men have a neon “Cheater” sign tattooed on their foreheads.
A couple of folks here posted that he “looks slimy” or he “looks like a douche”. To me, that’s like saying someone looks “gay”. How’s that now?? How does a person look gay/slimy/douche-y? I just cannot stand that phraseology.
Get Real.. I know from experience,pro basketball players have girls thrown at them. I’m not talking dogs either. From a guys perspective, I can understand the temptation. I know I am going to get heat for this but come on.
If I threw beautiful girls in your face, let’s see what you would do?
I know you guys are all saying, Yes, I understand…
@slymm27…”How many of them will you break up with??”
ALL OF THEM. It wouldn’t matter to me if I ended up by myself forever, I simply would not put up with it. But then again, I have quite a bit of self esteem which took years to develop. I don’t know what I’m worth to other people, but I’m worth a hell of a lot to myself. I would never roll over and sell myself out to a cheating loser. The longer people excuse it as ‘oh that’s just the way it is’ the more of the same you’re going to get. I’m not saying your perspective isn’t valid in many ways…I too believe that most men will cheat if given an easy opportunity (have seen it happen too many times to ‘family men’ to believe otherwise). However, I would break up with them EVERY SINGLE TIME. It would not go unpunished and that’s a promise. Why don’t the cheaters just come to the realization that THEY are going to have to change THEIR behavior. THEY are going to have stop ruining the lives of other people…maybe that should be ‘just how it is’…ya know? Why should I make it easy for them?
Ok Slymm27, being the uber-realist you are, would you mind telling us if you are in an “open” relationship, and if so, do you see that as the only solution, being that every single man, given the oportunity, will cheat?
I’m an idealist, so I grudgingly accept your broad statement.
You know what I think…if this is truly the case, and Slymm is right, girls, we all owe it to ourselves to get our “cheaters insurance.” Since men are so easily led around by their schlongs, we can not only cheat as much as they do, but we also have this magical power over them to make them cheat, regardless of how much they love their girls or families. Weak ass bitches these men are! Then, when jerk weed gets caught, we can be like, oh yeah, i cheated on you last year. Booyow. Next.
OR, there’s the wonderful suggestion Jules made about keeping our legs crossed…because, it’s not just the guys who are dogs, they go out there and lie down with other dogs – you know, female dogs…? Pretty funny what you wrote about men having to jump each other if all the other strange was keeping it locked up.
Anyway, as with everything in Hollywood and professional sports, sex is also so over rated. But, you don’t realize that until you’re too old to really give a damn anymore. And by then, if you have half a brain in your head, you want to be with someone you really care about. And when you really care…secret sex and texts tend to lose their appeal.
Yep. Speaking from some major experience here.
@Truth..then they just shouldn’t commit or get married. I have no problem if people want act like Charlie Sheen, but they need to be honest about it. Just say you’re going to screw whatever moves and snort coke off of hookers’ asses and then do it. Don’t get a girlfriend, get married, and/or have kids and then betray them because you encounter some hot girls.
@truth, thanks for saying it all. Even though i dont believe there is a single monogamous man on earth, i do wish they will come together and agree to stop these things called weddings and marriages, and being in a relationship. Just stop!
I’m not surprised.
I am glad she is leaving him and not believing the “I will change please stay with me b.s.” most men pull after cheating. I give her credit for that and wish her luck. No one deserves to be cheated on and lied to. In the long run she will find someone better and come out ahead.
I can promise you there is no man who will give up the opportunity to cheat on his significant other if given the chance.
*************
I think you’re wrong, but to each her own.
@jules, and coucou….. Lol! Oh you guys are right really, maybe we should all keep our legs closed , and get the cheaters insurance….lol! No i am not in an open relationship, and i actually believe my boyfriend isnt cheating on me right now, but hey, who knows what will happen down the road, he is a man afterall huh!!! But on a lighter note.., these hos that sleep with married men are equally cheating dogs too, if all the cheating bitches will just glue their legs together, then men wont really have them to cheat with right?
Yes, to add to the discussion, an awful lot of men cheat at one time or another in their marriage or cheat with different women until they fall in love and the kids are older. I work in a female profession that works closely with a majority male profession, and it is shocking the affairs, passes that are made. And even the much older men coming off as perverts making passes at all the young girls. I was, frankly, stunned. And watch out for friends who enjoy your boyfriend or husband. Don’t let them get too chummy. It happens all the time. Or suburbia with all the affairs that goes on there. Men have a few drinks and they think below the belt. There’s some good ones who don’t cheat or would like to but don’t want to risk losing their wife and kids, or have a fear of the wrath from their wives and aren’t good liars, so it isn’t worth it.
I actually heard some great advice from a nice man about 15 years ago that I’ve never forgotten. He said if you don’t want to cheat, then don’t put yourself in a situation where you could. Meaning don’t give yourself the opportunity. For example, a diet starts at the grocery store..if you don’t want to eat cookies, then don’t buy them and take them home with you where they will call to you all night until you eat them. Same with cheating…if you don’t want to cheat, don’t hang around a bunch of drunk girls without your wife. Don’t start lunching alone with your secretary. Don’t help out the hot neighbor lady with her home projects. As a woman, I think all we can do is pick what we think is a good man and try not to let him get in those situations as much as possible. You don’t have to be a crazy jealous woman…but you don’t have to be a blind idiot either.
@coucou “oh yeah, i cheated on you last year. Booyow.”
Booyow indeed. Hahahaha!!!! That is hilarious!
All I’ll say on this is I’ve never had a cheating problem with my husband and we’ve been together for YEARS. He’s had plenty of oppertunity (he’s in the army. Lots of woman tend to throw themselves at a man in uniform & lots of cheating tends to happen while they’re overseas) & he’s never taken that oppertunity. He’s the type of man that thinks “If I don’t want to be with you, than I’ll break up with you. What’s the point of dragging the other person through the pain and suffering of cheating?” Just my two cents 🙂
jules ur brilliant
@Jules…you f’ing rock 🙂
Well, I can remember that when they first became a couple she proudly told the entire world that she was the “sexual teacher” and had to teach and guide him in everything that should be done concerning that area. Maybe she taught him so well that he decided to try out his acquired techniques on someone else.
In any case, I thought that it was such a tacky and TMI-thing to say about what should be a private, intimate part of a relationship.
And about the “all men cheat” thing: A recent study showed that men with higher IQ’s are less likely to cheat on their wives. Modern society tends to frown heavily on men who cheat, unlike in days gone by when men cheating was acceptable and even celebrated. A man who could “pull” lots of women in and outside a marriage was considered manly, especially among other men.
But the theory put forward now is that smarter men will not cheat because in this day and age to not cheat will place them higher on the evolutionary chain and they will be seen as the alpha men, revered and desired more by women – who are conditioned to seek monogamous partners to procreate with. Whereas the cheaters are seen as jackasses, losers, non-potential long-term mates and are relegated to the bottom of the male evolutionary scrap heap. I mean, how many women will list: “He can pull lots of women” over “Faithful, honest and trustworthy” as an attractive quality in meeting a mate?
So ladies, if your man is cheating consider dumping him and going for a guy who has lots of brains and intellect (lol!)
why is it that fugly guys always get cute girls but they royally screw it. & THEN they beg ‘oh, naw baby i don’t LOVE her’ god men are stupid. i hate having been born with a woman’s intuition.
besides that tony parker is ugly as sin.
Further proof that in hollywood, appearances of happiness do not equal real happiness. Love the tan lines in the top two photos. That’s gotta be the fugliest dress ever created.
Doesn’t have to be a basketball player to do it. Just happened to me to. Men are pigs. I am leaving as well.
