Tony Parker and Eva Longoria formed one of the most publicized celebrity couples in the early 2000s. Just like David and Victoria Beckham, for example. The Frenchman and the American were married for three years, from 2007 to 2010, after dating for a few years. Despite their divorce, they managed to maintain a beautiful friendly relationship.
Guest of the show LEGEND on August 5, the former NBA basketball player even allowed himself to make some touching revelations about his ex-wife. “Anyway, she will always be in my life, she will always be, in quotes, the woman of my life. I am happy and proud that we are friends now,” he explained.
Tony Parker was even generous with anecdotes about their relationship, particularly about how they met. “She had given an interview where she said that she would like to meet me, because she was returning from a trip to France. That’s how we started talking. She’s such a simple girl.”
She became more famous than him
He adds: “On our first date, the first time I picked her up, I was listening to 50 Cent loud in the car. I was with my cap on backwards, in rapper mode. She must have thought I was crazy.”
The Frenchman also talked about how the relationship with fame had evolved within their relationship. When they met, Eva Longoria was not yet known, then she became a real star thanks to the series “Desperate Housewives”. “Basically, she was Tony Parker’s wife, then I became Eva Longoria’s guy.”
Today, Tony Parker and Eva Longoria share moments with their respective children, born from other unions.
