Eva Longoria Divorce: Star Says Split From Tony Parker Was 'Painful, But Life Goes On'

Eva Longoria opened up about her divorce from Tony Parker and whether or not she'll marry again on "Good Morning America" Thursday.

The "Desperate Housewives" star recounted her November 2010 split from Parker, which came after three years of marriage and reports that the NBA star had been caught “sexting” with a former teammate’s wife.

"It was painful, but life goes on," she said. "I always said I hold onto the love and not the loss. I think the press also wanted me to hate him and villainize him. And I don't. And I didn't."

And though Longoria said she still believes in love and wants children, she's wary of giving marriage another shot.

"I don't know about the marriage thing. We'll see if there's somebody there. I'm not in a rush," she said. "I take, and I took, marriage very seriously. I am Catholic and got married in the church, and so it's a pretty sacred sacrament, and so I wouldn't take it lightly. So to go, 'Yeah, I'll get married again.' … I can't say that."

Following Longoria's divorce from Parker, which was finalized in January 2011, she dated Eduardo Cruz, Penelope Cruz's 26-year-old brother. The pair reportedly broke up in March, though they've been spotted together recently.

Well there is little economic reason for her to marry again. Why would she? If she wants children, she can either have them biologically or adopt them. She can choose to have a relationship with just about any person she wants, she appears to be a beautiful woman and can have her pick of just about any partner she wants. She has sufficient wealth to raise any kids on her own if her relationship breaks down, which I suspect will happen--that seems to be the game among actors.

Frankly, I think it must be somewhat of a nightmare for someone to have a relationship with an actor. Are you in "love" with the character that she/he portrays, is it just an "act". Keep in mind that actors must dissemble for a living. That there are some who remain in happy relationships in "the business" attests to how difficult these "Hollywood" romances can be.

Mmm. Mmmmm, mm. C'mere Eva...I'll take it nice and slow with you; sign a pre-nup n all that good stuff. Sometimes you get a good vibe from people and from her, even just her public appearances, I get good vibes from her.

But don't worry, if not me, you'll find someone out there that'll move at your pace. If not, she certainly has my permission to contact me through HuffPo.

Good for her...nobody's perfect. As a fellow Christian, I wonder what she thinks of Cardinal Dolan telling her what she can and cannot do with her womb.

Sorry honey, the newness wore off and Tony did not like what was left. Besides, you did not have to get divorced. You could have worked it out.

I think she is such a beautiful, sweet person. I have never seen or heard anything negative about her. I'm sure love will find her again.

If you expect monogamy out of a athlete, you have a problem.

Athletes are very much like non-athletes, they just have more opportunity....Some cheat a lot, some cheat occasionally, and a few never cheat because they either: a) take their marriage vows to heart or b) have a wife who rocks their world like its never been rocked and they won't take the risk of losing a woman that rare. Or both.
