After spending her honeymoon in Cambodia with husband Jose “Pepe” Baston, Eva Longoria is now sharing details on her star-studded wedding ceremony which happened on May 21 in Mexico. Longoria used one sentence to describe her wedding:
“It was magical.”
According to a report by Daily Mail, Eva Longoria wore a wedding dress created by one of her closes friends, Victoria Beckham. Eva’s simple and elegant dress was made of silk, and she says that it was “made with love.”
“I asked Victoria to do my dress because I wanted it to be special and made with love – and I knew that Victoria would make it with love.”
Eva Longoria said that she went to London, Victoria showed her all the dresses she has created, and she was able to pick out all the details of her dress including the fabric, color, and zipper. “I just felt like a little girl in the best wardrobe ever,” she said.
Eva Longoria’s wedding was star-studded, and she invited 200 guests to witness the ceremony. Some of the stars who attended the Eva Longoria’s wedding include Mario Lopez, Victoria and David Beckham, Ricky Martin, and Melanie Griffith.
One of the big surprises during her wedding was the attendance of her friend Vanessa Williams, who serenaded the couple with the song “Save the Best for Last.” Eva was not aware that her friend would be singing a song at her wedding, she shared with ET Online.
“We were standing at the altar and I hear the song ‘Save the Best For Last’ and I was like, ‘Uh, God I wonder who’s singing this song?’ And Pepe goes, ‘Turn around,’ and I turn around and I was like, ‘Oh my God!'”
Another singer and friend who sang at Eva’s wedding is Ricky Martin, who sang his 1999 hit “Livin’ La Vida Loca.” Colombian singer Carlos Vives was also present at the wedding and sang a song for the couple’s first dance.
According to reports, Victoria Beckham, who is usually reserved, let loose at Eva’s wedding and was enjoying herself on the dance floor with her husband David and a few other guests. Mario Lopez posted an Instagram video of Victoria singing and dancing to Wham’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.” Check out the video below.
Mario Lopez also posted another video of himself, the guests, and the bride dancing and singing to Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.”
After her wedding, Eva and her husband Pepe jetted off to Cambodia, Hong Kong, and Thailand. Upon returning, Eva attended the Los Angeles Film Festival, where she shared more details about her wedding and her plans for the future. In an interview with E Online, Eva said that her wedding and honeymoon were so much fun.

Eva Longoria’s wedding to Pepe Baston is her third. She was married to actor Tyler Christopher from 2002 to 2004, and she married Tony Parker in 2007, but Eva filed for divorce in 2010. Eva started dating Pepe in 2013, and they were engaged in December 2015. The actress said that she has always been open to loving someone, even after her failed relationships.
“You should fall in love as many times as possible. I’ve never been closed off or afraid of it even after failure. I was never that tortured soul like, ‘I’m never opening up, I have walls.’ I’m like, ‘Come on in!'”
As for having children, Eva Longoria said that she wants to take things a step at a time, but Longoria says that she has “three beautiful step-kids who are just amazing.”
