Eva Jacqueline Longoria was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, on March 15, 1975, the youngest of the four daughters of her Mexican parents Ella Eva (Mireles) and Enrique Longoria Jr. One of her sisters had special needs. Longoria told Redbook in 2016.
She was raised Roman Catholic. She did not speak Spanish growing up, and did not learn the language until 2009. While in high school, she worked at a Wendy’s restaurant part-time for three years to help earn money for her quinceañera.
Longoria previously told the press how her years in fast food as a teen shaped her work ethic, saying “I couldn’t wait to get to work and make my own money.” Longoria earned her Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology at Texas A&M University-Kingsville.
At that time (1998), she also won the title of Miss Corpus Christi USA. After completing college, she entered a talent contest that led her to Los Angeles; and shortly thereafter, was spotted and signed by a theatrical agent. While auditioning for roles, she worked as a headhunter for four years.
After three years at California State University, Northridge, she received her master’s degree in Chicano Studies in May 2013. Her thesis was “Success STEMS From Diversity: The Value of Latinas in STEM Careers”.

Eva Longoria’s husband
Longoria was married to actor Tyler Christopher, star of General Hospital, from 2002 to 2004.
Longoria met Tony Parker, then the point guard for the San Antonio Spurs, in November 2004. On November 30, 2006, the couple became engaged. They married in the civil service on July 6, 2007, at a Paris city hall. They had a Catholic wedding ceremony at the Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois Church in Paris on July 7, 2007. On November 17, 2010, Longoria filed for divorce from Parker in Los Angeles, citing “irreconcilable differences”.
In the divorce petition, Longoria requested that her family name be restored. She also sought spousal support from Parker. The couple had a prenuptial agreement that was signed in June 2007, a month before their wedding, and amended two years later in June 2009.
Longoria told her friend Mario Lopez she had discovered hundreds of text messages from another woman on her husband’s phone. Extra identified the other woman as Erin Barry, the then-wife of Brent Barry, Parker’s former teammate, and revealed that the Barrys also were in the process of divorcing.
In light of the divorce, Longoria canceled her scheduled appearance at the 2010 American Music Awards. On November 19, 2010, Parker filed for divorce from Longoria in Bexar County, Texas, on the grounds of “discord or conflict of personalities”, thus establishing a legal battle over where the divorce case would be heard. Unlike Longoria’s divorce petition, Parker’s did not mention a prenuptial agreement and claimed that the parties would “enter into an agreement for the division of their estate”.
The divorce was finalized in Texas on January 28, 2011, the same day Longoria’s lawyer filed papers to dismiss her Los Angeles petition. Longoria would later comment, “I didn’t realize it at the time with Tony, but I had become my own version of a desperate housewife.”
