Eva Longoria opens up about her ‘inseparable’ friendship with ‘loyal’ Victoria Beckham
Their friendship has stood the test of time since first meeting 15 years ago.
And Eva Longoria opened up about her ‘inseparable’ friendship with Victoria Beckham when she appeared on ITV’s Lorraine on Tuesday morning.
The actress, 48, described the fashion mogul, 49, as “the most loyal friend you could ever ask for” and “the funniest human being” while speaking to Ross King on the daytime show.
She revealed that their “inseparable” friendship first started in 2007 when Victoria moved to Los Angeles with soccer player husband David, who was playing for LA Galaxy at the time.
From chatting at fashion shows to attending David’s competitions together, the designer and the actress formed a strong bond.

Eva said, “It wasn’t until they moved to Los Angeles, when David started playing for LA Galaxy, that I started going to a lot of those games with Victoria.
‘We were inseparable. I mean, she’s the funniest human being – the sweetest, kindest, most loyal friend you could wish for.
“So she said, ‘You know, you have to come to these games with me.’ I was like, “Oh. God. Is it like football? I don’t know where the ball is! Where is the ball?”
The actress too teased that she would be a fifth member of the Spice Girls if there was a future reunion.
Eva joked, “I’m secretly the fifth, Spicy Spice. So nobody called me!’
As Victoria learned her way around the LA crowd and established herself as a designer, she turned to Eva, who was at the height of her TV career playing Gabrielle Solis on Desperate Housewives.
At the time, Eva was married to French-American basketball player Tony Parker and often attended his games.
Victoria designed Eva’s wedding dress when she tied the knot with José Bastón a few years later in 2016, and was also her bridesmaid on her big day.

Eva is also godmother to David and Victoria’s only daughter Harper, 11, who was baptized in 2019 and whom the actress described as a “sweet, beautiful, kind young lady.”
Eva has had nothing but good things to say about her good friend for years and is regularly photographed with the mother of four.
In 2014, Eva also said that Victoria was “the most beautiful woman inside and out” and that the former Spice Girl was one of her favorite people and her funniest friend.
Speaking on the ITV show, Eva also revealed she would like a Desperate Housewives reboot ahead of next year’s 20th anniversary.
The actress played bombshell Gabrielle Solis from 2004 to 2012.
She said, “I’d be the first to sign up,” before laughing, “I’d probably be the only one.”
Speaking about her conversations with Marc Cherry, the show’s creator, she said, “I always say to Marc, “So you wouldn’t do a reboot?”.
“He just thinks we’ve completely mined those characters. He doesn’t know what else to say about those characters.’
However, a possible spin-off is not ruled out, Eva added: ‘I think he would do a new show on Wisteria Lane. A new group of women.’
