Eva Longoria Clarifies She Didn’t Move Family Out of United States Because of Donald Trump

As a longtime admirer of Eva Longoria, I find her recent comments both insightful and relatable. Like many, I too have felt the weight of the current political climate and the desire for a change of scenery. However, unlike Ms. Longoria, my only escape has been binge-watching episodes of “Desperate Housewives” on repeat.


As a devoted admirer of Eva Longoria, I’m eager to share that she’s been open about her previous remarks regarding relocating her family from what she described as a “dystopian” United States. Currently, she and her loved ones are dividing their time between the vibrant landscapes of Mexico and the captivating charm of Spain.

On a recording session for her podcast “The View: Behind the Table” on Friday, the actress-producer-director unexpectedly phoned her friend and co-host Ana Navarro from The View. After Navarro picked up, Longoria said, “Could you tell them I didn’t leave Spain because of Trump.

Navarro went ahead and pointed out that her friend had already relocated prior to Trump’s re-election in the recent November elections of 2024.

Longoria shared, “I’ve spent nearly three years working in Europe, as mentioned in a Marie Claire article. It’s disheartening to see some individuals twisting facts into clickbait, intentionally creating division. At times like these, unity is what we truly need.

Navarro stated, “However, you did mention that living in Europe felt like turning down the volume.” Currently, the actress dwells in Mexico and Spain alongside her husband, José Bastón, and their 6-year-old son, Santiago. She also spends time in various parts of Europe and South America due to work commitments but seldom visits Los Angeles.

Indeed, being detached from the non-stop news cycle does create a sort of isolation, that much is certain,” Longoria explained, adding that she moved to Europe for professional reasons: “In fact, I’m here because I have work commitments. My departure wasn’t due to the political climate, but rather because my job required me to be here.

This past week, the former star of “Desperate Housewives” shared various motives behind relocating her family abroad, as discussed in an interview with Marie Claire magazine.

Longoria shared with the magazine that she had spent her entire adult life there, but even before the pandemic, things were shifting. The atmosphere felt altered, and then COVID-19 arrived, pushing things further. Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes, Longoria didn’t intend to criticize California, but it seems like this phase of my life has come to an end now.

The director of “Flamin’ Hot” commented on the latest presidential election, where Trump triumphed over Kamala Harris. She stated that this event solidified her conviction about something. “What’s surprising isn’t that he won,” she said regarding Trump’s victory. “It’s that a person with a criminal record who spreads so much hatred could hold such a prestigious position. … If he sticks to his promises, it will be a frightening time.

Longoria expressed gratitude. ‘I’m fortunate,’ she said, ‘to have the ability to leave and travel. Unfortunately, many Americans don’t share this luxury. I feel deeply anxious and saddened for them, as they are trapped in a seemingly dystopian society.’
