Divorce helps Eva Longoria to find herself

Washington: Desperate Housewives’ star Eva Longoria, who split from basketball star Tony Parker after three years of marriage in November 2010, seems to have moved on with her life.

According to E! Online, Longoria said that she was not on speaking terms with her ex-husband. “You know, for me being a woman, I realized you cannot identify yourself through a man or through your marriage,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’. “I think it’s our nature to be socially constructed that way - to just be inferior or subservient - and you don’t have to be. You can be yourself and really hold your own by yourself no matter what partnership you’re in,” she added. Longoria is currently involved with Penelope Cruz’s brother Eduardo and admitted that she is happy. “Everyone says I look younger, which I’m like, OK. Everyone keeps saying, you’ve never looked better. I’m going, wow, I think divorce agrees with me,” said the actress. ANI
