Eva Longoria, who splits her time between Spain and Mexico with her husband, José Bastón, and their 6-year-old son, Santiago, shared her real reason for leaving the U.S.
When it comes to relocating her family from the United States, Eva Longoria had her reasons — and they had nothing to do with Donald Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election, despite popular belief.
Days after expressing her anxieties about the president-elect’s win during an interview with Marie Claire, the “Desperate Housewives” alum took some time to clear the air about her move.
“Will you please let them know I didn’t move out of the United States because of Trump?” she told Ana Navarro during a call into “The View: Behind the Table” podcast on Friday. “I’ve been in Europe for almost three years. That’s in the article, by the way, the article says that. People just grabbed some clickbait stuff to be divisive. Which makes me so sad that everything you say is just meant to be divisive when we can’t be that way right now.”
“I didn’t leave because of the political environment. I left because my work took me there”, she added. “I’m a proud American. I’ve always been a proud American. Proud Texan, proud American”, Longoria continued. “I didn’t want it to be taken that I left because of Trump — absolutely not — or because of the elections.
