There’s no doubt that this infidelity rumour regarding basketball player Tony Parker has taken its toll on the happy newlyweds. But Eva Longoria isn’t going to let some trash talking stop her from taking her man on a romantic weekend getaway.“She left the house very happy — you wouldn’t know anything of the ordeal they have been through this week,” said an insider.
Both were dressed in casual clothes as they checked in at the airport.
Eva was wearing a white tracksuit and was carrying a pillow and her puppy in a white leather travel bag. Her basketball player husband wore a black tracksuit.
The actress and her husband of five months put a brave face amid allegations that the NBA star carried on an affair with French model Alexandra Paressant. Since the story broke, the pair have denied the reports while stepping out together.
The Desperate Housewives star admitted she and Parker live somewhat separate lives, but insisted their independence makes their relationship stronger.
Eva said, “Because Tony and I are both secure in our own lives, it makes us secure together. Both of us have these amazing lives separately but they are second to being us, second to the relationship. We’ll have our fights, our ups and downs, but no matter what, we want to be together always.”
The 32-year-old actress is close friends with Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, whose soccer star husband was accused of having an affair in 2004, and claims that she and Posh have bonded because they are the wives of successful sports stars.
Eva told a magazine, “I do have a lot in common with Victoria. Both our husbands are athletes and they travel a lot. We’re always calling each other because they are always gone. She’s lovely and I really admire the wife and mother that she is.”
Paressant, who apparently has a history of lobbing similar accusations against internationally famous athletes including French football ace Theiry Henry, said she first met Parker on July 7, his wedding day.
The 26-year-old alleged she became fast friends with the newlywed and continued phoning and texting Parker. She said they consummated their relationship in Paris in September when Parker was in town for the French Legion of Honour award.
Parker, 25, and Longoria, 32, have vehemently denied the accusations. “Tony has been nothing short of the perfect husband,” said Longoria.
Parker added: “I love my wife. She’s the best thing in my life, and I have never been happier.”
