She is the most faithful friend and the funniest person: Eva discussed her close bond with Victoria
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 while appearing 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 their ‘inseparable’ friendship first started in 2007 when Victoria moved to Los Angeles with footballer husband David, who was playing for LA Galaxy at the time.
From chatting at fashion shows to attending David’s games together, the designer and the actress grew a strong bond.
Eva said: ‘It wasn’t until they moved to Los Angeles, when David started playing for LA Galaxy, that I did start to go to a lot of those games with Victoria.
‘We were inseparable. I mean, she’s the funniest human-being — the loveliest, kindest, most loyal friend you could ever ask for.
‘So she’s like, «You know, you have to go with me to these matches.» I was like, «Oh. God. Is it like soccer? I don’t know where the ball is! Where’s the ball?»‘
The actress also teased that she would be a fifth member of the Spice Girls should there be a reunion in the future.
Eva joked: ‘I am secretly the fifth, Spicy Spice. So nobody’s 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 would often attend his games.
Victoria designed Eva’s wedding gown when a few years later she tied the knot with José Bastón in 2016, and was also her bridesmaid on her big day.
