EVA LONGORIA
Eva Jacqueline Longoria Parker (born March 15, 1975) is a Golden Globe Award-nominated American film and television actress. She plays Gabrielle Solis in the ABC television series Desperate Housewives. She has also become an internationally recognized model after appearing in several high-profile advertising campaigns and numerous men’s magazines. Longoria is also known for her high profile relationship with NBA guard Tony Parker, whom she married in 2007.
Eva Longoria Puts Housewives Before Honeymoon
The Desperate Housewives star, 32, is due to wed fiance Tony Parker in the French capital on July 7. But she says, “I’m heading home right after the wedding.”
Speaking to PEOPLE at the “Spike for Hope” Celebrity Volleyball Match in Hermosa Beach, Calif., Longoria says, “We start shooting July 9.”
More than 200 guests are expected to attend the wedding, which is rumored to take place at the ancient St. Germain L’Auxerrois, known as the “Parish of Kings” because of its historic ties to French royalty.
Longoria visited the church earlier this month. In January, she spent four days in France working out other details of the nuptials with Parker’s mother, Pamela Firestone.
It’s also been a hectic lead-up to the big day with co-stars Felicity Huffman and Teri Hatcher throwing her two separate wedding showers.
But one thing Longoria does have time for is the PADRES Contra El Cancer (translated: Parents Against Cancer), for which Spike For Hope raised funds. Longoria is a national spokesperson for the charity – but is she a volleyball player?
“No, I’m not,” Longoria confessed to PEOPLE. “Tony is, but that’s because he’s 6’3″. He was like, ‘Babe, you better not stink.’ I like any sport. I’m not a volleyball player, per se, but I’m definitely a competitive person.”
At the charity event she hit the court wearing a black muscle shirt with “Longoria” spelled out on the back and took the first serve on the aptly named “Team Gorgeous”.
Alas, the results weren’t so beautiful: ‘Team Gorgeous” eventually lost to “The Dream Team,” 16 to 21.
Eva Longoria Dispels No-Sex Rumor
“Did you guys hear that rumor that there is no sex before the wedding?” the actress, 32, asked Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Tuesday morning. “I did not say that!”
Longoria, who will marry the San Antonio Spurs point guard in July, explained how the rumor got started: “Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about how Tony is in the playoffs, so no sex. And I said, ‘Well, good thing the playoffs go until the wedding.’ Now everyone is talking about it.”
Asked Seacrest, “So you called to confirm that Tony and you are still having sex?”
“Yes,” Longoria said. “Confirmed.”
She also talked about more family-friendly aspects of their wedding preparations. Asked how many people will attend the Paris nuptials, she said: “Two-hundred fifty were invited, but that’s not what is going to come. You forget we’re having it in Paris where Tony is from. He has a lot more guests than I do. It’s not really easy for us because we have such large families.”
