Eva Longoria, 49, reveals she’s proud of her ‘very cultured’ 6-year-old son Santiago who ‘understands and appreciates other cultures’

Eva Longoria is a loving mother and is proud of her “very cultured” son.

The Desperate Housewives star, 49 – who recently showed off her sizzling style – explained that her six-year-old son, Santiago, has a passion for learning about other cultures.

“You know what I love, he’s always with me when I’m working,” she said while on TV Today Toon on Thursday.

‘When we are in Spain, we all just go to Spain. When we are in Rome, we are all in Rome. And he’s very educated,” the Texas native said.

She gave an example of what her son would say: “Oh Mama, can we have macaroons when you go to Paris? We can eat jamón when we are in Spain.’

They said yes in 2016 and welcomed the youngster on June 19, 2018 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Santiago is the first child for Eva, but the fifth for José, who was previously married to Mexican actress Natalia Esperon.

His other children are Natalia, born in February 1996, and triplets Mariana, José and Sebastian, all born in November 2016, but Sebastian died shortly after birth.

When Eva was asked in a 2019 interview what the secret to her happy marriage is, she explained that she and her husband respect each other and support each other’s goals and dreams.

The star said: ‘When I was younger it was so much about what I had to achieve.

‘I have already achieved so much that I can now really sit back and enjoy the success and dream bigger together with a partner.’

The couple first met on a blind date in December 2013 organized by a mutual friend in Mexico City, with Eva revealing her future husband had no idea who she was.
