Eva Longoria Leaves the 'Dystopian' US Behind: A Look into Her Life Abroad

For many years, Eva Longoria was a household name in the US, thanks to her starring role as Gabrielle Solis on the hit ABC television series Desperate Housewives. However, in recent years, the actress has made the bold decision to leave the US behind, citing the country's "dystopian" state under the Trump administration as the primary reason for her departure. Longoria, who is married to José Bastón and has a six-year-old son with him, now splits her time between Mexico and Spain, and has revealed that she is loving life abroad.

A Childhood in Texas and a Rise to Fame

Longoria, who was born on March 15, 1975, in Corpus Christi, Texas, grew up in a Mexican-American family on a ranch near Corpus Christi. She attended Texas A&M University-Kingsville, where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology. Longoria's entry into show business began with a regular role on the CBS daytime soap opera The Young and the Restless, where she played the character of Isabella Braña from 2001 to 2003. Her breakout role, however, came when she played Gabrielle Solis on Desperate Housewives, a role that earned her a Golden Globe nomination and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Life Abroad and a Newfound Appreciation for Aging

Despite her success in the US, Longoria has spoken out about the reasons behind her decision to leave the country. In an interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that she no longer spends much time in Hollywood and doesn't miss it, especially after Trump's win. She also expressed her anxiety and nervousness for Americans who can't "escape" their "dystopian country." Longoria has instead chosen to focus on her life in Mexico and Spain, where she has found a new sense of peace and contentment.

As she approaches her 50th birthday, Longoria has also spoken out about her approach to aging. In an interview with Yahoo, she revealed that she is doing "everything" to age well, from cold-plunging to red-light therapy. "I'm doing everything. Not because I don't want to age but because I do want to age," she said.

It appears that Longoria's decision to leave the US has given her a newfound appreciation for life and a more positive outlook on aging. As she navigates this new chapter in her life, it will be interesting to see how she continues to balance her personal and professional life abroad.
