Eva Longoria was photographed sharing a public display of affection with her husband, Mexican businessman José Bastón, outside a Beverly Hills restaurant on Friday, marking a return to Los Angeles after the family established a base in Marbella, Spain.
The couple, who have been married nine years, were seen kissing outside Marea in the 90210 zip code during what observers described as a night off. Their son, Santiago, seven, is part of the family’s move abroad; Longoria and Bastón have said they will split their time between Mexico and Spain while continuing work commitments in the United States.
Longoria purchased a property in Marbella in 2023 and relocated there with her husband and son prior to the U.S. presidential election in 2024, according to reporting at the time. In April 2024, a source told the Daily Mail the move aimed to keep Santiago from being "sucked into the whole Hollywood cycle." Media coverage following the 2024 election also revived public attention to remarks Longoria had made earlier that were widely circulated online in which she described the United States in stark terms.
Representatives for Longoria and Bastón did not immediately provide comment on Friday’s appearance. Reports noted that the Los Angeles visit could be tied to Longoria’s professional obligations; she has maintained a presence in film and television both in front of and behind the camera and continues to work on projects that require travel between Europe and the United States.
Longoria first rose to prominence as an actress before expanding into producing and directing. Bastón, a Mexican businessman, and Longoria have in recent years balanced family life with international work, making decisions about residence and education that they have described as aimed at their son’s upbringing.
Public interest in the family’s location intensified after the 2024 election, with some outlets suggesting the move was a response to political developments. Reporting and timelines indicate the family’s relocation to Spain preceded those developments, and media accounts have emphasized that the move was planned in part for family reasons.
Friday’s sighting in Beverly Hills was brief and social in nature. It underscores the ongoing pattern among some entertainers of maintaining transatlantic residences while continuing to participate in the U.S. entertainment industry.
Longoria’s appearances and statements continue to attract attention amid discussions about celebrity moves and the impact of international living on careers and family life. Further details about the family’s schedule and Longoria’s upcoming projects were not available Friday.
