Eva Longoria was photographed kissing her husband, Mexican businessman José Bastón, outside the restaurant Marea in Beverly Hills on Friday, marking a public return to Los Angeles since she and her family relocated to Europe.
Longoria, Bastón and their seven-year-old son Santiago have been splitting their time between Mexico and Spain after purchasing a property in Marbella in 2023. The move preceded the 2024 U.S. presidential election; Longoria drew attention last year when comments in which she described the United States as "dystopian" circulated widely, prompting speculation about her reasons for leaving the country.
Photographs published Friday show the couple sharing an embrace and a kiss on a sidewalk in the 90210 zip code. The sighting occurred during what observers described as a night off; Longoria and Bastón married in 2016 and have frequently been seen together at public events since. The family’s move to Spain was reported in April 2024 by outlets that cited a source saying the decision was intended in part to shield Santiago from the "Hollywood cycle."
Longoria has an ongoing career in film and television as an actor, producer and director. The Los Angeles appearance comes amid periodic trips by the family between Europe and North America. She purchased the Marbella residence in 2023 and has publicly discussed balancing work and family life in interviews in recent years.
The brief Beverly Hills outing and displays of affection underscore the couple’s continued visibility in both U.S. and international settings. Media attention around Longoria’s relocation intensified after her earlier remarks about the United States; however, reporting has noted the family’s move to Spain occurred before the 2024 election and the surrounding political developments.
Representatives for Longoria and Bastón did not issue statements at the time of the photographs’ publication. The couple’s travel and residences have been a focal point of entertainment coverage as they navigate careers and parenting across multiple countries.
