Eva Longoria has opted to mend her broken heart with a younger man instead of tubs of Haagen-Dazs washed down with rum while watching reruns of ‘The Tudors’ (Jonathan Rhys Meyers shirtless makes everything better).
Since her split from Tony Parker, soon to be 36 year old Longoria has been dating Penelope Cruz’s 25 year old brother, Eduardo Cruz. The couple has been trying to keep a low profile, but recently were photographed enjoying a post New Year yachting trip. (Click HERE for those pics…) Following their holiday PDA, Eduardo had Eva’s name tattooed onto his arm. (Click HERE for a photo of the tat…) However, Eva doesn’t seem as deep into the infatuation as he is. In fact, a story by National Enquirer (via Celebitchy) is adamant that Penelope Cruz thinks Eva is using him to get close to her and Javier Bardem so she can further her career.
“Penelope believes Eva is nothing more than a fame-hungry, bad B-list actress who is using Eduardo in an effort to further her career… Penelope doesn’t understand why Eduardo is settling for a woman nearly 10 years older – especially one who failed so spectacularly at her last relationship. She thinks Eduardo can do much better than Eva. She’s always reminding him that he’s young, gorgeous and successful and that he could have his pick of women,” said the source. “Penelope has no desire to get chummy with Eva,” the source added. “And she wishes she’d leave her baby brother alone, too.”
I get this on many levels. Penelope is also guilty of dating to benefit her career. (Hello “relationship” with Tom Cruise.) But I get that he is her little brother and doesn’t want the sexy hobbit from ‘Desperate Housewives’ breaking his heart, but he is a grown a$$ man. Either way I am team Penelope.
