As much as Eva Longoria loves to be on screen, the actor and director is also careful of the content she’s putting out because of her son. In an interview with Byrdie, the star expressed how motherhood made her rethink her career choices, including posing for “sexy photoshoots.” Longoria shared how being a mother helped her think that her 6-year-old son, Santiago, would be exposed to all of her content. This reason has led her to exercise judiciousness about the scripts on the table as well.
Eva Longoria is conscious about ‘old sexy photoshoots’ because of her son
Eva Longoria’s modeling and acting career speaks for itself. From appearing in popular campaigns and starring in hit films, the star has made quite a name for herself in the industry. However, she is now more careful about her professional choices, given she’s also a mother to her 6-year-old son Santiago, whom she shares with her husband, José Bastón.
Speaking to Byrdie, Longoria revealed that she has been quite selective with her projects because of her motherhood journey. The actor thought about what kind of content she wanted to put out into the world, as Santiago may see it one day. Longoria even wondered if her son would be “proud” or “embarrassed” about her content. Moreover, she doubled down on her reason to avoid certain projects, including posing for risque photoshoots. She said, “Even with old sexy photoshoots, I think, ‘Oh god, he’s going to see this one day.'”
Having recently celebrated her 50th birthday with multiple parties, the actor opened up about how she wants her next 50 years to look like. Instead of saying “yes” to every opportunity, Longoria shared that she has her priorities a little different now. The model revealed that she’s spending more time with family, doing what she loves, and working less.
Eva Longoria welcomed her son Santiago in June 2018 and often shares pictures of him on social media. In April, Santiago accompanied his mom to the Global Gift Gala in Geneva, Switzerland, posing with her on the red carpet in a stylish outfit.
