Eva Longoria and Tony Parker are back in the same celebrity headline, but the new photo is tied to her CNN travel series rather than the divorce that once surrounded them.
Longoria shared a photo with Parker on her Instagram Stories on June 8 while filming Eva Longoria: Searching for France. “Look who came to visit….the one and only TP @tonyparker09,” she wrote, according to E! News.
The former couple were married from 2007 to 2011. Their split drew heavy tabloid coverage at the time, but the new post showed a much calmer public moment between two people whose lives have moved far beyond the breakup.
The reunion also landed inside a project with a real connection to their past. Longoria has said her love of France began during her marriage to Parker, and she is now exploring the country through food, history, and regional culture on her CNN series.
Parker Visited While Longoria Was Filming in France
Parker stopped by as Longoria was working on Searching for France, the third installment of her CNN travel franchise after Searching for Mexico and Searching for Spain. In the photo Longoria shared, she and Parker smiled with María Bravo and Alina Peralta, cofounders of the Global Gift Foundation.
Page Six described the image as a kitchen-set moment, with Longoria, Bravo, and Peralta wearing aprons while Parker stood beside them in a blue sweatsuit.

France was part of Longoria and Parker’s shared life long before the CNN series. Parker, a French former NBA star, married Longoria in 2007 in a 17th-century castle outside Paris.
Longoria told People that she first fell in love with France through Parker, saying they spent summers in Paris and traveled through other parts of the country while he played basketball. The series now takes her back through Paris, Bordeaux, Brittany, Provence, Burgundy, Alsace, and other regions through food and local history.
The eight-episode season premiered on CNN on April 12. Longoria told People that the show brought together her interests in food, travel, history, and France, where she has also spent years attending the Cannes Film Festival and working as a L’Oréal ambassador.
Longoria Has Spoken Openly About the Divorce
Longoria filed for divorce from Parker in November 2010, and the divorce was finalized the next year. E! News reported that the split followed cheating rumors and reports that Longoria had found text messages from another woman.
In earlier interviews revisited by E! News, Longoria described the divorce as a difficult public loss because the marriage had overlapped with the rise of Desperate Housewives and a major period of success in her own life.
Both later built separate family lives. Longoria married Mexican businessman José Bastón in 2016, and they welcomed their son, Santiago, in 2018. Parker married French journalist Axelle Francine in 2014; they share sons Josh and Liam and announced their split in 2020.
