Eva Longoria is putting America in her rearview mirror, at least for now. In an interview with Marie Claire, the actress revealed that she splits most of her time between Spain and Mexico when she isn’t working in Hollywood. While that has been going on for years, she says the country is “a scary place” and after Donald Trump won the presidency, “If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place.”
The Desperate Housewives star spent much of the summer campaigning for Kamala Harris and even rallied volunteers with Tim Walz, helping organize women and Latinos to fight the good fight, and she “would like to think our fight continues.” But even so, it’s not like leaving the country was easy for her. “I had my whole adult life here,” Longoria said. “But even before [the pandemic], it was changing. The vibe was different. And then Covid happened, and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to shit on California—it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.”
