Eva Longoria walked down the aisle for the first time with the late actor Tyler Christopher.
The pair tied the knot in 2002, two years after Longoria appeared in a 2002 episode of General Hospital, on which Christopher portrayed Nikolas Cassadine and Connor Bishop from 1996 to 2016. Though they kept details of their relationship to themselves, Longoria and Christopher stepped out together at several red carpet events before calling it quits in 2004.
Longoria, for her part, went on to marry Tony Parker in 2007 before splitting in 2011. She married once more in 2016 to José Bastón, with whom she shares her son Santiago. (The Desperate Housewives alum is also stepmother to Bastón and his ex-wife Natalia Esperón’s three children.)
Christopher also went on to become a parent, welcoming kids Greysun James and Bohemee ith ex-wife Brienne Pedigo, whom he was married to from 2008 to 2021.
The Days of Our Lives alum died at the age of 50 in October 2023 after suffering cardiac arrest. Longoria did not comment on his death at the time.
