Eva Longoria: I'm in a Happy Place

Eva Longoria drops by The Ellen DeGeneres Show on an episode airing Thursday (September 15).

The 36-year-old Desperate Housewives actress spoke about what she’s learned since her divorce from Tony Parker.

“I realized you cannot identify yourself through a man or through your marriage,” Eva said, “Or through a partner.”

“I think it’s our nature to be socially constructed that way. To just be inferior or subservient and you don’t have to be. You can be yourself and really hold your own by yourself no matter what partnership you’re in,” Eva added.

“I’m in a happy place. Everyone says I look younger,” Eva concluded. “Everyone keeps saying, you’ve never looked better. I’m going wow; I think divorce agrees with me.”
