Eva Longoria and Mark Sanchez Have Split

Eva Longoria and Mark Sanchez have parted ways.

Sanchez’s rep confirmed the split on Monday. “Mark and Eva continue to be friends and are both focusing on their careers,” said the spokesperson. According to sources close to the couple, their careers and priorities were getting in the way of their union.

“Mark says he is really upset about the break-up with Eva. He is telling friends he tried everything he could to make her happy, and to make things work between them, but they live in very different worlds,” one source told the New York Post. “The problem was Mark is very focused on football, while Eva is a busy businesswoman. She lives in Los Angeles, is doing a lot of philanthropic and political work, and is developing a number of TV shows, including the NBC dating series Ready for Love.”

Despite this, another source says the breakup was smooth. “Eva and Mark split amicably and remain friends. There is no drama,” the insider told People Magazine.

The former couple had been linked to each other back in June and only confirmed their relationship last month. Nonetheless, Sanchez seems to be moving on and was spotted canoodling with a blonde at the Darby Downstairs club in New York. According to a witness, the NFL baller and his lady friend were very cozy. “She was more up on him,” an eyewitness said to the New York Daily News, “But he was into it and smiling.”

While Sanchez is cuddling in clubs, Longoria is trying to deal with some leftover baggage from another failed relationship. The actress has gotten tattoos dedicated to ex-husband Tony Parker removed from her body. According to TMZ, she started getting laser treatments back in January to have her wedding date, Parker’s initials and his jersey number removed. She was recently photographed with a red blotch on the back of her neck where Parker’s jersey number used to be located.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
