Eva Longoria’s baby plans

Eva Longoria Parker and husband Tony Parker are going to start trying for a baby “soon”. The ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress and the basketball star – who married in July 2007 – are keen to start a family together and the sportsman says it will happen in the near future.

When asked whether they ready for a baby, Tony replied: “We’re thinking about it. Pretty soon. She’s got one more year with ‘Desperate Housewives’, so we’ll see what happens.

“She’d be a great mom. I’d be great. I love kids.”

As Eva is one of four girls, Tony says he’ll leave it up to his 35-year-old spouse as to how many children they have.

He told Us Weekly magazine: “We’ll see. It depends on her. I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl. I would love to have both.”

However, the couple won’t be conceiving in the next few weeks as Eva is busy shooting new film ‘Without Men’ while Tony is on the road with his team but he says they make a big effort to keep in touch.

He said: “Skype helps a lot. As long as you both make an effort, it works…but I miss not being able to kiss her every day!”

Eva recently revealed how happy she and Tony are.

She said: “We are just best friends. I love his company and I am married to the person I want to be with.

“I cannot ask for more. We respect each other as people and as a couple, and we trust each other. The best thing is that he loves to surprise me and I love to be surprised.”
