'It took me 40 years to find him!' Eva Longoria on how she knew husband José Bastón was 'the one'
Eva Longoria has done it all - acting, directing, writing, modeling, and more.
And now she's found happiness in her personal life too after finally finding her Mr Right: husband José Bastón.
In December's issue of Red Book Magazine, the 41-year-old starlet revealed how she immediately knew Bastón was 'the one.'

When asked how she knew that José Bastón was 'the one,' the Desperate Housewives alumna replied: 'Even before we got engaged, we just felt married. We called one another “my husband” and “my wife.”'
'It didn’t take either one of us very long to know that “this is the one.” In my case, it only took 40 years to find him!'
And on why she took her new husband's last name? Longoria-Baston said simply,'I love him, I love his last name, and I love that tradition. It’s a choice I made, but I realize it’s not for everybody. I was thrilled to take his name.'

Aptly nicknamed 'Hollywood's Unicorn' by the women's magazine, the stylish A-lister unveiled inspirational stories that ultimately led up to her hugely successful career.
The actress, beautiful inside and out, credited her mother, Ella Eva Mireles, for encouraging her work ethic.
'I wanted to have a Quinceañera when I was 15 and my family didn’t have the money, so I got a job at Wendy’s and paid for it myself. I couldn’t wait to get to work and make my own money,' the actress revealed.

Fire it up with a red hot silk top like Eva
Ever found yourself crushing on Eva? Snap! That's why we've gone mad for her on the cover of December's Red Book magazine.
Wearing a Juan Carlos Obando SS16 Ready-to-Wear drape top (not currently available but click right to shop Juan Carlos Obando's current collection on Net-a-Porter), Eva looked radiant with the drapes tied in a choker formation round her neck. Teamed with Juan Carlos Obando's silk skirt (click below to shop it now at Forward by Elyse Walker), the actress and director nailed the art of wearing head-to-toe red.

'There was never any resentment, because I saw how hard my mother worked and all she did for my sister [with special needs], and I wanted to do whatever I could to help. We all did.'
'I remember losing auditions or being let go from a job and I’d say, "That must mean there’s something amazing ahead for me!" the SAG award winner spilled while talking about being eternally optimistic.
'My friends would laugh and look at me like I was crazy. I have never, ever had a personal pity party.'
Chic and classy: For the inside spread, the actress donned a royal blue dress with a scoop neckline and white hemline, posing on a day bed and looking every bit the respected fashion designer
The Telenovela star is also a political activist.
When asked whether she would ever consider getting into politics, Victoria Beckham's bestie replied thoughtfully:
'I’ve thought about that a million times. I think the most powerful part of our democracy is being a citizen. Our society cannot function without citizens. Voting, civil disobedience, protesting can make our voices heard.
'There’s more things you can do as a citizen to bring about change than as a politician,' Longoria, who is respected in politics, answered.
'After some deliberation, I choose to hold on to that power rather than relinquish it. But I do have a great deal of respect for people who devote their lives to public service.'
Good taste: The final look featured a bodycon, flattering A-line dress that displayed the actress's enviable figure
Longoria, a fashion designer herself,wore three distinct looks for the photoshoot that accompanied the interview that showcased her elegant style.
For the cover, she rocked a luxurious bright red jumpsuit that doubled as a choker and wrapped around her neck.
For the inside spread, the actress donned a royal blue dress with a scoop neckline and white hemline, posing on a day bed and looking every bit the respected fashion designer.
The final look featured a bodycon, flattering A-line dress that displayed the actress's enviable figure and bore a striking resemblance to the designs Longoria curated for the Eva Longoria collection for The Limited.
Longoria is currently filming All-Star Weekend, a comedy directed by Jamie Foxx.
Eva's cover of Redbook will be available on newsstands nationwide November 15th.
