Eva Longoria is engaged

Eva Longoria is engaged.

The 'Desperate Housewives' actress took to Instagram on Sunday (13.12.15) to reveal that her boyfriend Jose Antonio Baston proposed while on holiday in Dubai.

Sharing a picture of them kissing, Eva wrote: "Ummmm so this happened....#Engaged #Dubai #Happiness (sic)."

In the image, which was taken in the desert, Eva can be seen wearing a huge sparkler on her left hand as she passionately kisses the TV president, who she has been dating since 2013.

The proposal comes as a surprise, since Eva had ruled out walking down the aisle for a third time, saying last year: "Marriage and kids are not on the horizon."

She split from French basketball player Tony Parker to whom she was married for four years in 2011 and before that when she eloped with actor Christopher Tyler in 2002, before the marriage broke up in 2004.

However, Eva has admitted that Jose makes her happier than ever before.

She said: "I'm truly in love, mostly... every moment we get to spend together is a blessing.

"People want a secret to looking good, but there isn't one. I'm in love, that has a lot to do with it. I take good care of myself, it's no secret, I eat a healthy diet and I exercise..."
