NEWSEva Longoria Says Divorce "Agrees" With Her & She's Not Friends With Tony Parker
Sept. 15 2011, Published 9:36 a.m. ET
Eva Longoria speaks openly with Ellen DeGeneres about life after divorce from Tony Parker, and the actress has never seemed happier! In a candid interview, Eva shares why she feels (and looks) better than ever!
In a sneak peek clip from Eva's interview, airing today on Ellen, the Desperate Housewives star reveals lessons that she learned from her divorce from the San Antonio Spurs point guard.
"For me, being a woman, I realized you cannot identify yourself through a man or through your marriage... or through a partner. 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," she shares."You can be yourself and really hold your own by yourself no matter what partnership you’re in."
Ellen responds, "Because when things — or if — I shouldn’t say when ..."
But Eva echoed her sentiment, saying in Hollywood it seems to be "when."
Eva, 36, doesn't seem to be suffering from divorce doldrums at all.
"I’m going, 'Wow! I think divorce agrees with me,' " she tells Ellen.
But her smiles aren't because she is on good terms with Tony.
“You and Tony are friendly: Do you still talk?” Ellen asks.
But Eva quickly responds “No," shaking her head.
