Eva Longoria, best known for her roles as actress, producer, director social activist and now mother, once told our sister publication HELLO! that most people don’t know she is very domestic. “A big secret is that I’m very domestic,” she said back in 2015. “A lot of people don’t know that about me. I sew, and when I was young my mother always told me ‘be sure you make a house a home, where ever you go.’ She didn’t care how crappy the apartment was, you’d better make sure it’s nice.” Fast forward to the present, and it now feels like we know everything about the Desperate Housewives star.

 

From directing ABC’s Grand Hotel and now CW’s Glamorous, to recently opening up about becoming a first-time mom, and how she eased back into getting into shape, the philanthropist is very much in the public eye.
