Eva Longoria Talks Divorce From Tony Parker In Allure Magazine

Eva Longoria is opening up about her divorce from basketball player Tony Parker in the April issue of Allure magazine.

The "Desperate Housewives" star says talking about the breakup from the San Antonio Spurs player makes her "want to cry" but she's trying to make the transition "as gracefully as possible" and "without any drama."

Longoria turned 36 on Tuesday. She filed for divorce from Parker last November, citing irreconcilable differences. The two were married in July 2007.

She's now having to "find new patterns" in life because she's used to spending her free time watching Parker play.

Longoria also credits the women in her life with getting her through difficult times. She says she "collects people" in her life, particularly "amazing, smart, interesting women."

The April issue of Allure magazine goes on sale nationwide March 22.

Not to throw this another way but how much was their wedding? The marriage lasted what, 2 or 3 years? http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20061440,00.html

Why exactly do people get married in 2011?? Do they really expect to be together FOREVER?

I have heard and wondered - women like to GET married, but they don't like to BE married.

I wonder.

This is why I will never marry a woman who already has her wedding planned.

But, will she still be playing for the Tampa Bay Rays??? That is the important part...

'She's now having to "find new patterns" in life because she's used to spending her free time watching Parker play.'

She sounds severely co-dependent on her spouse--did she go to work with him and watch him practice?

Eva has been a San Antonio Spurs fan for most of her life. She was often in the stands for their games and her ex-husband happens to be one of the Spurs' star players. Something you obviously don't know. Perhaps you should know what your talking about before you start calling people names.

Who cares? She'll be opening up about her next three or four marriages. And who cares? Huff, don't you have something better to print than this stuff?

Divorce is hard on anyone and just because you're a celebrity doesn't make you immune of all feelings. I hope she heals and only gets stronger!

To all Eva fans: It was a short-lived marriage and afforded her the spotlight she apparently craved. Should we even be heavy-hearted over this break-up?

To me that relationship was always about sex and a wonderful weddingthat the entire world talked about. agreed with everything you said

Black men are not easy to get over; for various reasons - Eva knows that now

Sorry, but I think Eva is more famous than her ex. She didn't need him for the spotlight; she already had the spotlight.

Perhaps, but I often thought she wanted the bump of a celebrity relationship. Him to.

So she doesn't credit Penelope Cruz's brother for getting her through it?

I know divorce is hard on you but if its any consolation, San Antonio will always love you like a daughter!
