Follow me on Twitter Eva Longoria’s marriage failed on "Desperate Housewives" in part because she was personally tipping the lawn boy. But in real life, Eva is hoping for a better result with her engagement to basketball star Tony Parker.
The 31-year-old actress said "yes" to her longtime beau, 24-year-old French-born Parker, who is point guard for the San Antonio Spurs. The couple met in 2004, briefly split in September, but obviously turned things around after a romantic trip to Paris in October.
Longoria’s representative Liza Anderson confirms, "Eva and Tony are officially engaged. The couple has never been happier. Tony flew into Los Angeles last night after his game and surprised Eva at her home as she got off work". Lucky for Eva she wasn’t tipping the lawn boy at the time!
Anderson continued: "The couple plans to wed in France in the summer of 2007 in what they describe as a big, happy ceremony with lots of family and friends." This will be the first marriage for Parker and the second marriage for Eva, who in 2004 divorced Tyler Christopher from ABC’s "General Hospital" after two years.
When Eva and Tony started dating, Eva publicly stated that she was "the teacher" in the bedroom and that Tony was an excellent student. Well, that’s one class in which I wouldn’t mind getting lots of homework!
