Earlier this year, Eva headed to Spain for her new TV project, Searching for Spain. The show followed the mum-of-one as she examined Spain’s culinary traditions and incredible food, all while reconnecting with her family history.

Eva revealed: “Eleven generations ago, one of my ancestors left Spain for the new world and new life. Four hundred years later, I'm back to see how the land and its people have created one of the world's most exciting cuisines.”

She added: “If you can preserve your food and your recipes, you can teach the rest of the world who you are. I get to visit long-lost family.”

Eva was born in Texas and spent much of her adult life in California, but holds a Spanish citizenship. She recently relocated to Spain with her Mexican husband, producer José Bastón, and their son, Santiago.

The actress previously confessed she no longer wanted to live in Los Angeles, describing her move as the end of a chapter in her life. She denied speculation that her decision to leave the US was politically motivated following Trump's re-election as president.

Eva said that she moved over three years ago for work-related reasons and now primarily divides her time between Spain and Mexico. Speaking on the Behind the Table podcast, she said: "Will you please let them know I didn't move out of the United States because of Trump?

"I've been in Europe for almost three years. That's why I'm in Europe. I didn't leave because of the political environment. I left because my work took me there."

She insisted: "I'm a proud American. I've always been a proud American. Proud Texan, proud American. I didn't want it to be taken that I left because of Trump — absolutely not — or because of the elections."

Despite moving away from the States, Eva has revealed she hasn't turned her back on Desperate Housewives. There's long been speculation over a potential reboot of the acclaimed ABC show, which celebrated its 20th anniversary last year.

Appearing on Watch What Happens Live, Eva admitted the show's future boils down to creator Marc Cherry. Host Andy Cohen asked: "Really? Why he feels like it's complete?" Eva said: "He feels like we've exhausted the characters."
