Eva Longoria has totally rebounded from her divorce from Tony Parker and said on the Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday that she is now in a “happy place.”
“Everybody was just pulling for you and hoping you’d be happy, because we love you so much,” DeGeneres told Longoria, before asking the actress to tell her what lessons she’s learned from the split.
“For me, being a woman, I realized you cannot identify yourself through a man or through your marriage … or through a partner.” She continued, “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.”
Longoria added, “You can be yourself and really hold your own by yourself no matter what partnership you’re in.”
Eva finished by giving two thumbs up to her divorce: “I’m going, ‘Wow!’ I think divorce agrees with me!”
Ellen asked Longoria: “Are you and Parker still friendly? Do you still talk?”
“No,” Eva said.
