Eva Longoria has admitted becoming a mother at the age of 43 was ‘perfect timing’ as she’d ‘done everything she needed to do in her career’
The actress, 50, welcomed her son Santiago, seven, in 2018, and in a new interview has shared that she has ‘so much more wisdom and patience’ as a parent in her 40s.
Eva revealed she was pregnant in 2018 after marrying her husband José Bastón two years earlier, and said that her family is now ‘her priority’ when it comes to managing her career.
The Desperate Housewives star, who is appearing in the festive film Christmas Karma, said she’ll only accept a role if it’s people she ‘really wants to work with,’ as it will be taking her away from time she could spend with her son.
Christmas Karma is a modern take on the iconic festive tale A Christmas Carol, and sees Eva star as The Ghost Of Christmas Past.
She said: ‘My family is my priority, so if I’m saying yes to something and it’s taking time away from them, it’s got to be something I’m really going to enjoy and people I really want to work with.’
Saying that becoming a mother at 43 was perfect timing, she told The Sunday Times Style Magazine: ‘You have so much more wisdom and patience when you become a mother in your forties. It was all about me for so long.
‘Forty years of me was enough time, so I was really blessed to have my child later in life because I had travelled, I’d done everything I needed to do for my career. Now everything I do is just icing on the cake and I get to do that with my son.’
