Eva Longoria waited until 43 for motherhood, here's why

Actress Eva Longoria, 50, recently shared insights into her experience of becoming a mother for the first time at the age of 43. She expressed that this later timing brought a wealth of wisdom and patience, significantly enriching her journey into motherhood. Longoria felt her previous four decades of life experiences, career achievements, and personal growth uniquely prepared her for this role.

She welcomed her son, Santiago Enrique Bastón, in 2018 with her husband, José Antonio "Pepe" Bastón. Longoria values the perspective motherhood has given her, stating that her prior life experiences were "enough time" for herself. Now, she cherishes every moment with her son, viewing her career and other endeavors as fulfilling additions to her life, rather than its sole focus.

Motherhood has also influenced Longoria's professional decisions, making her more selective about acting roles. Her family is now her top priority, and she ensures that any project taken on is personally fulfilling and aligns with her values, especially considering her son will eventually see her work. She credits her husband's unwavering support for her career aspirations.
