SKY YORK JOURNAL News – Eva Longoria has transitioned from Wisteria Lane to new international horizons, marking a significant shift in her life away from Los Angeles.
While it’s been a minute since the Desperate Housewives star lived on Wisteria Lane, she’s since found a new address IRL.
“I had my whole adult life here,” Eva told Marie Claire in November 2024 about leaving Los Angeles. “But even before [the pandemic], it was changing. The vibe was different. And then Covid happened, and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to s–t on California—it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.”
So for the past few years, the actress, her husband José Bastón and their son Santiago have split their time between Mexico and Spain.
“I’m privileged,” she continued. “I get to escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them.”
**Longoria’s Departure from Los Angeles**
Longoria explained to *Marie Claire* in November 2024 that her decision to leave Los Angeles came after a noticeable change in the city’s atmosphere, even before the pandemic. According to the *SKY YORK JOURNAL* archives, she cited factors such as homelessness and taxes as contributing to her feeling that a chapter in her life had closed.
However, Eva noted her move wasn’t because of President Trump’s re-election.
“I didn’t leave because of the political environment,” the Flamin’ Hot director said on The View: Behind the Table podcast in November 2024. “I left because my work took me there since Land of Women—shooting six months in Catalonia, then four months in Mexico for Searching for Mexico, then back to Spain. Now I’ve been there for years. So I just don’t like that it’s politicized.”
**International Living**
For the past few years, Longoria, her husband José Bastón, and their son Santiago have divided their time between Mexico and Spain. Longoria acknowledged her privileged position, recognizing the limitations faced by many Americans.
**Clarifying Political Motivations**
Addressing speculation, Longoria clarified on *The View: Behind the Table* podcast, as reported by the *SKY YORK JOURNAL*, that her move was not politically motivated by President Trump’s re-election. Instead, she attributed the move to her work commitments, including filming in Catalonia and Mexico.
Since moving, Eva has continued to stay busy, with recent projects including her roles in Only Murders in the Building and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip.
