Eva Longoria is an American actress, director, producer, businessperson, and activist. She has starred on Desperate Housewives, and in the films Harsh Times, The Sentinel (2006), Over Her Dead Body, Lowriders, Dog Days (2018), and Tell It Like a Woman. She has directed the film Flamin’ Hot, as well as episodes of Black-ish, The Mick, and Grand Hotel.

Her parents, Ella Eva (Mireles) and Enrique Longoria, Jr., are of Mexican descent, with ancestry that traces back to Southern Mexico. Many of her family lines have lived in Texas for generations. Eva is married to Mexican businessperson Jose Antonio Bastón, with whom she has a son. She has also been credited as Eva Longoria Christopher, the surname of her first husband, actor Tyler Christopher; Eva Longoria Parker, the surname of her second husband, professional basketball player Tony Parker; and as Eva Jacqueline Bastón.

She is said to not be related to professional baseball player Evan Longoria.

Eva’s ancestry can be traced to Lorenzo Suarez De Longoria, who was born, c. 1592, in Asturias, Spain. She also has many other traceable Spanish-born ancestors from the same period.

Eva’s paternal grandfather was Enrique Longoria, Sr. (the son of Mateo Villareal Longoria and Maria Sabina/Savina Zarate Solis). Enrique was born in Texas. Mateo was the son of Ponciano Noel Longoria Villarreal and Maria Rita Ramirez Villarreal. Eva’s great-grandmother Maria Sabina was the daughter of Narciso Longoria Solis and Agueda Zarate.

Eva’s paternal grandmother is Micaela De Luna Perez (the daughter of Viviano De Luna and Juana Perez Bazan). Micaela was born in Texas. Viviano was the son of Encarnacion Concepcion De Luna and Maria Rafaela Martinez. Juana was the daughter of Ponciano Alvarez Perez and Maria Antonia Gonzalez Bazan.

Eva’s maternal grandfather was Juan Mireles (the son of Gabriel Mireles and Luisa Barriente). Juan was born in Texas. Luisa was born in Mexico.

Eva’s maternal grandmother was Eva Salinas (the daughter of Cecilio Salinas and Eulalia Perez). Eva’s grandmother Eva was born in Texas, to Mexican parents. Cecilio was the son of Cecilio Salinas and Teodora Barrera.

Eva is a seventh cousin, once removed, of musicians A.B. Quintanilla, Suzette Quintanilla, and Selena, and a seventh cousin of their father, Abraham Quintanilla, Jr. Their common ancestors were Juan Diego Longoria García and María Clara Chapa Benavides.

Eva was featured on the 2010 television series Faces of America, which examined her genealogy and that of other notables. In his 2010 book elaborating on the series, Faces of America: How 12 Extraordinary People Discovered their Pasts, Henry Louis Gates, Jr. writes, “The Broad Institute’s testing of Meryl [Streep]‘s autosomal DNA revealed that she shares recent ancestral connections to Mike Nichols (of four million base pairs on chromosome 13) and to Eva Longoria (of five million base pairs on chromosome 2), as well as an extraordinarily close ancestral connection to Stephen Colbert. Indeed, Meryl and Stephen share thirty million base pairs – a huge stretch of identical DNA.”

A DNA test whose results were displayed on the show stated that Eva’s genetic ancestry is:

*70% European
*27% Asian/Indigenous
*3% African

    It’s a fact that she’s a whore and a bitch. I feel so bad for her ex, I’m sure he’s no angel but she definitely screwed him over. It seemed like he was so in love with her, I liked them as a couple.

    Mostly spanish, mestizo that’s what I thought. She’s also 3 percent African so she is African American too. She’s tri-racial technically. She doesn’t look Italian. Lol. She has clear mestizo features.

    • fuzzybear44 says:

      It wouldn’t be African American you idiot . It would be a Mexican of African ancestry, who was most likely the contributor

    • luckystar says:

      She is not african mexican. Her only 3% of african heritage could also came from SPAIN
      did you see the 23andme of people from spain???????????
      and 3% isnt too much to look tri racial.

      • fuzzybear44 says:

        @ lucky

        While that is possible, I don’t. Think so.3% would put it within the last 3-4 generations, meaning probably a black Mexican was the donor. Mexico had a lot of black people( both African American, Louisiana Creole, black Indian, and Afromexican or Afromestizo)

        • luckystar says:

          @ fuzzybear44

          You are wrong. 3% Is distant, and im sure it came from europe. The genes cant die if you mix with others people that have one too. Many southern europeans does have negroids genes because the moors were arabs, and many arab does have at least 5% sub saaharan genes in north africa/middle eastern.
          Ive saw many 23andme from argentines too and guess what? some people does havene groids came from SPAIN
          black people was killed in Argentina before Italian immigration

            Well I did say it was possible. However to me 3% isn’t that distant. It’s like within 150yrs or 5 generations, and I’m sure her family has been here longer than that. However to me, it doesn’t really matter seeing how no matter what, the original source was some black person

            Well I do agree that many Europeans have Negroid /Congoid ancestry. also that the majority of moors were black /arab. However you might want to up the amount of black ancestry the north African/middle eastern people have. Many North Africans as well as middle Eastern people are straight up black, while many of the rest are mixed with black(of varied degrees)

            Quote:
            (black people was killed in Argentina before Italian immigration)

            You’re partially right about this. The majority of the black males were killed, because of (Operation GET BEHIND THE DARKIE). This is when Argentina freed its slave , but made the males join the army. Which they quickly put them on the front line, while the whites stayed safe. then there was the yellow fever problem, which did its damage. This left the black women and children alone, to the new incoming Italian men. Who quickly went after those women, getting rid of the black color.

        • luckystar says:

          12% is supposed to mean great-grandfather. But things aren’t always this way, many Blacks have more than 12% of white genes and they have no white great-grandparents or something. Genes are complicated.

            This is interesting that you brought this up, and yes Genes are very complicated. This could be one reason, it’s called the( Brown Baby Project).Thousands of half black kids were send to America from Europe to be adopted by black families in the late 40’s early 50’s( most never knowing they were adopted). This would give their grandkids 12% euro blood. However maybe they were like me, (out of sight , out of mind.). I never knew one of my grandfathers was white, or that the other one wasn’t from this country. The reason is. I never asked about my grandfathers. They both passed away, before I was born. My father talked a little about his father, but he never once mention he was white. I saw his picture all the time, but I didn’t know who that white man was, and I never asked. My mother never once stated, that the man who she called father , wasn’t her biological father(she knew, but never told us, and we never asked). So you could imagine my surprise, when I found all this stuff out ( and I’m still finding out things).I don’t know about, but a lot of the black people I know, don’t talk about family members who aren’t there anymore. To hear it, most black people couldn’t tell you anything about their great grandparents

          @fuzzybear44

          North Africa had recent European invasion
          few North Africans even have more than 30% of black genes, and these are part of the miserable society of the countries
          The upper class is exclusively European and Semitic

          • fuzzybear44 says:

            @Lucky

            Yes , I’m very familiar with the European tidal wave that rolled into north Africa. however I’m pretty sure there are far more than a few who are more than 30%. Also Semitic is just a language group, that many different people speak(it has no color restriction)

        • luckystar says:

          @fuzzybear44

          ethnicity Semitic are arabs. 23andme results by a person from morocco http://www.forumbiodiversity.com/showthread.php/43295-23andme-results

          0% sub saharan

          • fuzzybear44 says:

            @luckystar

            Semitic is part of a language group, that’s it. Yes Arabs speak it, but so do Ethiopians and a number of other people. Now as for your 23andme results, ok that’s one Moroccan, I never said they were all the same. Even your blogger states at least half of their ancestry comes from Iraq and Syria plus Euro DNA, so I don’t know about that both my parents are Berber stuff. The avg African American has Euro Dna. However Oprah Winfrey has no European dna , while Whoopi Goldberg does. Yet aren’t both of them African American?

        • luckystar says:

          @fuzzybear44

          then most southern europeans are african european because some really does have negroids genes.

          http://www.forumbiodiversity.com/showthread.php/41342-Italian-Sicilian-and-Greek-23andme-results!

          3% black does make eva longoria african mexican, or tri racial
          she is mestiza, almost castiza.

        • luckystar says:

          @fuzzybear44

          OK, I’m from Uruguay and all my great grandparents came from Italy I’ve done DNA testing and have small Arab genes and consequently, 0.3% sub Saharan appeared, so I’m afro Uruguayan?

          Those genes came from History of Islam in Italy,
          its not from now

            No I wouldn’t call you an Afro Uruguayan. I probably would call you by your name. You’re and Uruguayan of Italian descent, who has some African ancestry. It’s the same as me having European and native ancestry, but I’m not white or a Indian. But both of those things are still part of who I am( although I simply see myself as a black guy)

        • anen87 says:

          Fuzzybear44 is correct. Unlike spaniard DNA The fact that mexican’s subsaharan african% is higher than MENA% means they inherited extra black blood from elsewhere (fresh slaves brought from africa)

    Mexican beauty

    She’s okay looking, not a beauty or anything. She has impish looks, and seems like a bitch. I think she was the one who cheated on Tony Parker, not him.
