'No words for this handsomeness! @globalgiftfoundation #GGFDUB15' Eva captioned the picture.
The proposal comes as a surprise, since Eva had ruled out walking down the aisle for a third time, saying last year: 'Marriage and kids are not on the horizon.'
She split from French basketball player Tony Parker to whom she was married for four years in 2011 and before that when she eloped with actor Christopher Tyler in 2002, before the marriage broke up in 2004.

Recently announcing her engagement to boyfriend Jose in Dubai, Eva Longoria seemed to happier than ever before. We're loving this photo of them together at the Cannes film festival in May 2015, where Eva nailed her look with a turquoise lace gown. It's by Georges Hobeika, a Lebanese designer that Eva also wore frequently during the film festival. And she's not the only A-list admirer. Do the names Marion Cotillard, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian ring any bells?
