When last we saw Eva Longoria and her younger toyboy Eduardo Cruz sharin’ a smooch together, they were holidaying on a yacht off the coast of Miami, FL. It would appear that the couple are still going strong and still in the kissy-kissy phase … but they have moved their lovefest to LA. Eva and Eddie were spotted this week at the Chateau Marmont and they were not shy about showing off their new love affair in public.

New couple Eva Longoria and Eduardo Cruz have been playing it coy over the past few months. But as the pair’s romance heats up, it looks like they don’t care who knows it as they put on a passionate show of affection in Los Angeles yesterday. The Desperate Housewives actress, 35, and Spanish singer/songwriter Cruz, 25, shared a heated kiss as they lunched at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. After months of incognito dates, Longoria and Penelope Cruz’s little brother finally looked comfortable to be photographed in public together. Their choice of Chateau Marmont, well known by paparazzi for its celebrity patronage, suggests they were happy to be snapped together. Perhaps Longoria is feeling more content about going public after her ex-husband Tony Parker apparently gave his blessing two weeks ago, saying: ‘She can do whatever she wants.’ The couple have been dating since at least December – a month after Longoria announced her split from San Antonio Spurs basketball player Parker. The Texas-raised actress was first spotted with Cruz at her Los Angeles restaurant Beso in October – before she had gone public with her marriage split. Eduardo was seen leaving Eva’s home on Christmas Eve morning, and then they were seen enjoying a flamenco dance troupe at Hollywood cabaret club Cafe Was in January. Her publicist played down rumours of a romance at the time, saying that they are ‘just friends’ and that ‘Eva does not have a boyfriend’. Longoria and Parker’s divorce was finalised in a Texas court on January 28, just two months after they filed their respective petitions. Soon after, Longoria wrote on her Twitter page: ‘Starting over is hard to do, but life goes on. I pray for strength, courage and wisdom on my new journey.’ The couple split suddenly in November amid allegations that Parker had cheated on her with his team mate’s wife. While Longoria gave her blessing to close friend Mario Lopez to claim Parker had cheated on her, the basketball player remained silent. Lopez told U.S. TV show Extra: ‘She found hundreds of text messages from another woman on Tony’s phone. She is devastated, so [she] decided to end it.’

Whoa! I guess I didn’t know that Eva and Eduardo had been creepin’ around for so long. By the time the photos of the pair holidaying together in Miami early last month, they had already been well hooked up for months. To be honest, they seem to make a much better match than Eva did with Tony. It’s clear that these two are really into one another. We’ll have to wait and see if this romance turns out to be a fling for something more serious … for now, tho, it just looks like the couple are having fun together. What do y’all think of Eva and Eduardo together? Are you a fan?
