When Eva Longoria became a mom at age 43, she told Parents Latina her son Santiago “was meant to be with me at this stage in my life. I’m patient, I don’t work as much — even if it doesn’t seem that way! It’s the right time.”

The actress welcomed her son in June 2018 with her husband, José Bastón, and he’s brought so much joy into his parents’ lives. “I feel there’s more pressure to raise a good man today in this world and to make sure he understands equality and feminism,” the Desperate Housewives alum previously told Parents about what she plans on teaching Santi. “But it’s not about telling him, it’s about showing him in his everyday life.”
