Eva Longoria Parker Files for Divorce
Credit: Action Press/ZUMApress.com
Eva Longoria Parker has filed for divorce from her husband of three years, San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker, UsMagazine.com has learned.
She filed Wednesday morning in Los Angeles Superior Court.
In the filing, she requested that her name be restored from Parker's name to Eva Jacqueline Longoria.
Documents also state that the couple had a prenuptial agreement. It was signed in 2007, the year they wed, and amended in 2009.
She is seeking spousal support.
She cited irreconcilable differences for the split.
The filing comes on the heels of the latest Us Weekly, which reports that Longoria Parker, 35, recently discovered that her husband, 28, has been exchanging personal texts with a mutual female friend for nearly a year -- hundreds in just one month.
"Eva is heartbroken by the betrayal," says one insider (Longoria Parker’s rep had no comment; Parker’s rep could not be reached).

The two met in November 2004.
They had a brief rough patch that year -- "We were going through growing pains," she explained to Cosmopolitan -- but they worked it out.
He popped the question in 2006. "It was more than I'd imagined," she told Cosmo of his proposal. "I was shocked, too. It was like two in the morning. He got down on one knee. He was so nervous, which is what I find so surprising and sweet. I said, 'Honey, you know how much I want to marry you!'"

They famously wed in a $1.5 million wedding at a 17th century castle in Paris in July 2007 -- in front of her Desperate Housewives co-stars, including Teri Hatcher and Felicity Huffman.
Baby rumors soon followed.
"Tony and I want ... as many as we can have. Three, four, five," she said in 2008. "We think about adopting too."
The same year, the 5-foot-2 star dodged pregnancy rumors when she packed on 7 lbs. for Housewives ("I'm just fat," she quipped).

The two appeared to be in fine shape this past summer as they celebrated his birthday and their third wedding anniversary.
"We're thinking about it. Pretty soon," he told Us in June when asked about starting a family. "She's got one more year with Desperate Housewives, so we'll see what happens."

With their time apart, he told Us, "Skype helps a lot. As long as you both make an effort, it works ... [but I miss] not being able to kiss her every day!"

21You know we all make mistakes, and do things that we wish can be taken back, but sadly they cant. I feel that he wish's that as well as, and the fact he wish's that this had not of happened. This could just be a innocent matter blown out of the norm. It depends a great deal on what the texts say, after all being married not not mean you cant have friends, but be respectful about what type of friends they are. Best wish's to the couple for thier future. R.G. W. Seeking God's Plan
She should not have married someone that is 7 years younger than her, especially a superstar basketball player, she should have learn't a lesson from the Kobe affair.

This is sad...seems like a lot of athletes are cheaters. Poor wives. I do think it's really sad...because 7 years is a long time to try and make a broken marriage work. I commend them for making it last this long and not giving up after their first "rough patch" and for the person who said in a previous post that Eva Longoria deserved all this because she bragged so much...that is sick and cruel. Wouldnt' you put on a front if it meant saving your marriage?
Sorry to hear another Hollywood marriage on the rocks but what can a woman do....if she finds out her man isn't faithful then it's curtains for him. Why guys who have such beautiful, successful women stray is beyond me...sort of gives me no hope in finding someone special since I'm not half a beautiful as some of these movie starts who find out their man is cheating. Sorry Eva, but you'll find another love one day and hopefully he'll be the one who does good by you.
Eva put him on a pedestal publicly and that came to bite her big time. For the next one Eva, just keep it sacred.
We don't know both sides but Tony ~ Eva stood by you and she knew you were the man for her and she is the most fantastic women you will ever have and look you through it all away for what? You are just like the others we read about thinking with wrong head ! You as life knows it will never be the same I hope you are happy ! Eva will shine as she alway has and you tony will be a stone under her perfect heel shoe ~ Another dumb man thinking with what God gave you and you have used it wrongly again :( Eva you will feel sorrow for a while but will rise to the top as you deserve.
i hate guys who are two timer, as if they can accept a partner or a wife who'll have another affair like them!
I guess I'm a hopeless romantic because I really hoped it would work out for them. Eva seems like such a good catch.
I'm going through this right now also, I've been spying for a year & he's inappropriate via text with various girls he meets & I've told him my expectations of him with other women but he obviously enjoys this behavior & continues; no indication he's actually dated or had sex with another though. I don't want to be that woman, like the old days, just staying in a marriage looking like a fool & being betrayed. Haven't confronted him, wanted to see his raw true self so I can decide what I want to do about it. Well he continues this despite what I've asked of him. I feel like yeah its kinda "minor", but I AM being betrayed. I got married at 19 (married now 8 years), he was 23. Feeling like we didn't get the "experience the world" bug out of us, even me, yeah I'm starting to feel this. Over this year of spying, my feelings for him have changed in regards to how I trust him (or not) but still love him of course in many other ways. Been reading about open relationships, considering offering that to him, otherwise how can I be with him if this is the real him, he won't change, this is his innate desire, he should be able to fulfill it, and me too, if we can accept that kind of arrangement maybe we can get that "bug" out of us and take on monogamy again once we're ready. Or if we discover we want to take diff paths then so be it. I'm very educated in Christianity, but have decided I don't really have a religion due to science I've learned, etc., so...why put all these limits on ourselves, lets do what we want in life and accept eachother's instincts & desires so we're not all old frustrated and mad that we missed out. See? I think my approach of waiting to confront him has allowed these thoughts to develop, and its sad to me, I'm struggling not sure how I'm going to confront him or what options I''ll give him... : (
can any body stay faithfull, or is it just a fairy tale ambition?
not a fan of Eva but they seemed really strong together, rumors of him fooling around have been going around for a good while now.
I do think Paul Pierce is available...
awe... too bad.
It must've been really bad for her to leave. She looks like she was a ride or die wife.
Zaia: What does race have to do with being a cheater? I hate to be the one to break it to you: race is not a factor. That was not the most intelligent comment I ever read
A black athlete who cheats on his hot wife ??? No I can't believe it. Well done Eva - get rid of the LOSER as fast as you can. You are so much better than him and you deserve better than a worthless bastard who can't keep it in his pants. He's no better than Tiger Woods who threw everything away for some ugly wh$ores ... Sad sad world we live in.
Going into a marriage with a pre nup is asking for disaster! Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Dont know if I really believe this....Whats so different from the 1st story you printed this morning? NOTHING......UTTT-Ohhhh, Sorry US Weekly...you might be on to something, I just checked TMZ and they have the papers...they're always spot on. How shocking a professional ath. cheats...lol
Wow--didn't see this one coming. These athletes can't keep it in their pants can they? I realize they have to deal with TONS of women tempting them-even more than the average guy but my advice is DON'T get married then--wait until you're ready. He was probably too young to get married at 25 anyway.
