Eva Longoria (49 years old), known for her iconic role in ‘Desperate Housewives’, has made a decision that reflects her activism and political concerns: leave the United States as main residence. The actress has shared her position in an interview with ‘Marie Claire’ magazine, where she has left no room for doubt about his discontent with Donald Trump’s policiesrecently re-elected as president.
Longoria explained that, although she has been dividing her time between Mexico and Spain for years, now her decision is much firmer. “I feel privileged to be able to escape, but my sadness and anxiety are for those who do not have that option,” said the actress, referring to what she describes as a “dystopian country.” In the conversation, held in Madrid, Longoria revealed that her activism in favor of women’s rights and the Latin community has become incompatible with the political direction of his native country.
The actress, married since 2016 to the Mexican businessman José Bastón, and mother of little Santiago, 6 years old, has already made Spain and Mexico her main homes. In early 2023, it acquired a mansion in Marbellaa town that, according to what he confessed to the magazine ‘HELLO!’had captured his heart for more than 20 years. «I love this country. Spain is synonymous with restfamily and quality of life. I don’t have schedules here; “I go to the beach with my son and enjoy a slower pace,” he said enthusiastically.
However, the change of residence also reflects a emotional breakdown with the United States. Longoria, who dedicated years of his life to supporting Democratic campaigns, including the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz pairing, admitted that Trump’s victory in 2024 did not surprise him as much as in 2016, but it was just as painful. “The shocking thing is not that he won, but that a convicted criminal who spews so much hatred can occupy the highest office,” he told Marie Claire, reflecting the bewilderment he feels about the country’s political direction.
Eva’s decision is also linked to her perception of Los Angeles, the city that has been her home since she was in her early 20s. «Even before the pandemic, the city was changing. Whether it was homelessness or high taxes, I felt like this chapter of my life it was over«he explained. Now, he assures that Hollywood, a system that he described as »patriarchal« on several occasions, is no longer his priority.
While continuing her life between Europe and Latin America, Longoria remains active professionally, working on projects such as ‘Searching for Spain’, the continuation of the CNN miniseries ‘Searching for Mexico’. For her, this new chapter not only symbolizes a change of residencebut an affirmation of his commitment to his values and his family. As she herself concluded: “I would like to think that our fight continues.”
