Eva Longoria is proving that time — and grace — can heal even the most public of heartbreaks.
The Desperate Housewives alum, 51, surprised fans when she shared a group photo on Instagram Story featuring her ex-husband, retired NBA star Tony Parker, seemingly taken on the set of her culinary series Searching for France.
“Look who came to visit… the one and only TP! @tonyparker09,” Longoria wrote alongside the image, per Hello.

The friendly reunion is a far cry from the unraveling of their marriage. The pair announced their split in late 2010 after more than three years of marriage, with Longoria posting a statement on Twitter at the time: “It is with great sadness that after seven years together, Tony and I have decided to divorce. We love each other deeply and pray for each other’s happiness.”
The announcement was quickly overshadowed by widespread reports of infidelity. At the time, per ABC News, Longoria’s good friend Mario Lopez said, “Eva wants everyone to know she’s devastated by the rumors of Tony’s infidelity. She loved her husband and is heartbroken about their split.”

In 2012, the actress addressed Parker’s alleged infidelity on Lifetime’s The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet, per Us Weekly, explaining: “It wasn’t about who he chose. I mean, I had moments [where I wondered], ‘Am I not sexy enough? Am I not pretty enough? Am I not smart enough?”
After Longoria shared the photo featuring the former athlete, a source told the Daily Mail in a Tuesday, June 9 report that the exes remain on friendly terms, adding that their respective families also get along well.

Per the outlet, the snapshot sparked immediate buzz, with fans flooding the comments. “I cannot believe this photo is real. Time is a truly powerful thing, y’all. It heals all kinds of wounds,” one follower wrote. Another chimed in: “Eva Longoria and Tony Parker, the surprise we weren’t expecting!”
Parker, 44, has two children with his ex-wife, French journalist Axelle Francine. Longoria shares a son, Santiago, 7, with her husband, media executive José Bastón, 58, whom she married in 2016.
Now, more than a decade later, both have clearly moved on beyond any hard feelings.
