Although it has been a while since the Desperate Housewives star resided on Wisteria Lane, she has since found a new home in real life.

“I had my whole adult life here,” Eva shared with Marie Claire in November 2024 regarding her departure from Los Angeles. “But even before [the pandemic], it was changing. The vibe was different. And then Covid happened, and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it’s the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to criticize California—it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now.”

For the past few years, the actress, her husband José Bastón, and their son Santiago have been dividing their time between Mexico and Spain.

“I’m privileged,” she added. “I get to escape and go somewhere. Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them.”

However, Eva clarified that her relocation was not due to President Trump’s re-election.

“I didn’t leave because of the political environment,” the Flamin’ Hot director stated on The View: Behind the Table podcast in November 2024. “I left because my work took me there since Land of Women—shooting six months in Catalonia, then four months in Mexico for Searching for Mexico, then back to Spain. Now I’ve been there for years. So I just don’t like that it’s politicized.”

Since her move, Eva has remained active, with recent projects including her roles in Only Murders in the Building and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Road Trip.
