She moved to California in her twenties, living in Los Angeles, and is married to Mexican businessman José Antonio ‘Pepe’ Bastón Patiño, who she also has a son with. The Desperate Housewives star told Marie Claire in a new cover story: “I’m privileged. I get to escape and go somewhere.
Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them.” It’s been a while since she lived in LA, but she explained that Trump ’s victory was what solidified her desire to spend less time in the city – and her country as a whole.
Discussing LA, she said: “I had my whole adult life here. But even before [the pandemic], it was changing. The vibe was different.
And then COVID happened, and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to shit on California — it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.” Eva Longoria and José Bastón attend the TIME Latino Leaders Event at Soulmate on November 29, 2023 in West Holly.
