Devious Maids‘ Eva Longoria and her husband Joe Baston celebrated the impending arrival of their first child together, a son, at an outdoor pajama yellow and white themed baby shower earlier this month held at Lombardi House in Hollywood.
The Desperate Housewives alum wore a strapless off the shoulder lace maxi dress to the festive and sunny garden event.
Along with family and friends, celeb pals like Desperate Housewives co-star Marcia Cross was there along with Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin, Hunger Games actress Elizabeth Banks, One Tree Hillactress Sophia Bush, Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Melissa Fumero and others attended.
The brunch event featured a photo booth. Also, guests were pampered with massage chairs and hair and makeup artists on hand to spruce them up.
The backdrop featured yellow balloons spelling out ‘Baby Baston‘ decorated the outside area near the dining tables.
A Bloody Mary bar with drinks topped with gerkins and bacon and glasses of rose wine were passed out. It is reported Longoria broke down into tears when her husband gave an emotional speech thanking guests for coming.
The couple were showered with lavish gifts including a diaper cake, bath toys, books, car seats, clothes and a very nice yellow and white carnation decorated pram.
Below are more photos shared by guests on Instagram:
Yesterday, Desperate Housewives alum and first-time mom-to-be Eva Longoria was honored with a Star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame in Hollywood, California.
Her good friend Victoria Beckham, who also designed Longoria’s wedding dress when she married media mogul Jose “Pepe” Baston, and her friend Ricky Martin, who sang is hit song “Livin La Vida Loca” at her wedding, attended the occasion along with her friend and Overboard film co star and our Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums, Anna Farris.
The Devious Maids alum recently stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote her role in Overboard, a gender flipped remake of the Kurt Russell/Goldie Hawa cult classic film.
During the segment, while outfitted in a white bump hugging mini dress and a white duster, Longoria discussed her pregnancy and becoming a first-time mom.
“Yup, all I talk about nowadays is baby stuff,” Longoria, who is about two months away from having her first child with businessman Jose “Pepe” Baston, joked.
Although she says she has been “uncomfortable,” Longoria, who is also a step mom to Baston’s 20-year old son and 13-year old twins, says “feels great.”
“Everything’s uncomfortable,” she admitted. “Everything gets bigger. It’s not just your belly, like, I’ve never seen my thighs so big, and my boobs… they’re in the way of everything. It’s hard.”
Discomfort aside, Longoria admitted that she often does forget that she’s even expecting, a sentiment she also recently shared with ET.
“The other day, I was sleeping and the alarm went off, and I was gonna jump out of bed. And I was like, ‘What’s happening? I can’t get up!'” she quipped to Kimmel, adding that she also had another memory lapse recently when she suggested a ski trip to her husband.
“My husband and I were talking about going snow skiing, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, we should go next weekend, we’re free!'” she said. “And he goes, ‘No! You’re pregnant!'”
When the parents to be initially found out Longoria was pregnant, she said her husband was concerned about how they were “going to keep this under wraps.”
“I was like, ‘They’ve been saying I’m pregnant every month for the last 20 years of my life. It’ll be so easy,'” she admitted. “I had a burger, and they’re like, ‘Eva’s pregnant!’ And I had a pizza, and they’re like, ‘Baby bump!’ (we are guilty!)
And finally, the tabloids came out, and they’re like, ‘Eva’s gained weight.’ And I was like, ‘I am pregnant!'”
As for her delivery plans, she shared that both her and Baston’s “large families” will be coming out, though she doesn’t particularly want them to — and especially doesn’t want anyone in the delivery room.
“I don’t want anybody there. I need to absorb this moment by myself,” Longoria confessed. “I’ll end up taking care of them and cooking for them and making sure they’re OK. I don’t have time! But they’re coming.”
Eva Longoria says Kerry Washington has been the best in helping her prepare for the birth of her first child
The Desperate Housewives alum, who’s now in her third trimester, toldAccess Hollywood this tidbit earlier.
“Kerry has actually been one of my main friends that I’ve been leaning on during pregnancy,” Eva told us. “She helped me find a baby nurse and [figure out what] a doula is. She’s been an endless source of information.”
The Scandal star also hooked Eva up with a bunch of maternity clothes!
“She gave me this suitcase of maternity clothes,” Eva dished. “It’s like the traveling suitcase — it just gets passed on. Then I have to add to it and then I’ll pass it on. Kerry’s been amazing.”
Washington shared a photo at the Costume Designers Guild Awards of Longoria with herself, Longoria and actress Gina Rodriguez.
“Sisters from other misters. That baby’s gonna have a lotta aunties! THANK YOU @evalongoria for that beautiful introduction. You and @lynpaolomade me cry! And congrats to miss @hereisgina on being a bad*ss brilliant & beautiful host!!! Love y’all. #cdga20″

Chrissy Teigen was spotted out and about being healthy snacking on an apple in New York City. Teigen and husband John Legend are expecting a son after welcoming daughter Luna in April 2016.
The stars came out tonight for the 2018 Golden Globes Awards.
In solidarity with the “Me Too” movement which involves women (and men) coming forward with sexual assault and harassment allegations, almost all of the women attended the show in black.
That movement spawned a “Time’s Up” initiative where celebrities have vowed to take up the charge of women, like the average worker, who may not have the same resources as wealthy and influential Celebs.
We were happy to see two first-time moms-to-be and Latinas, America Ferrera and Eva Longoria show off their bumps on the carpet as well.
According to confirmed reports, Eva Longoria and her new husband José Antonio “Pepe” Bastón are expecting their first child together, a baby boy!
The Desperate Housewivesalum famously toldPEOPLE magazine in the Summer of 2015 after announcing her engagement that she wondered whether or not she still had time to start a family.
“I just turned 40, so I have thought, ‘Is time running out?’ ” the former star of the NBC comedy Telenovela said. “I should be thinking about [children], but I feel like my life is full.”
Well it’s going to get a lot fuller soon.
Baston is the president of the largest media company in Latin America, Televisa. The couple started dating in 2013 and got engaged in Dubai in December 2015 before marrying in May 2016 in Mexico at a star-studded party event that included a fireworks display.
Serena Williams delighted fans around the world with an uplifting message in the wake of her surprise defeat at the French Open this week.
The 23-time Grand Slam winner is an inspiration to moms everywhere as she continues to excel after giving birth toAlexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. in September 2017.
She is now 37 years old and most players would have retired by now, but Williams continues to compete at the highest level. She slumped to a shock loss to world number 37 Sofia Kenin this week, but she was praised for her response.
“Yesterday was not my day,” she wrote in a heartfelt Instagram post. “But it’s about getting up time and time again after you fall. Here’s to a multitude of tomorrows.”
Eva Longoria and Ciara were among the celebrities to salute her message.
Williams suffered a pulmonary embolism after giving birth, leaving her bedridden for six weeks and delaying her return to training, but she has continued to excel and she finished runner-up at the US Open last year.
That followed victory at the 2017 Australian Open while pregnant, showing just what a magnificent competitor she is.
She is widely regarded as the greatest player of all, having secured the most Grand Slam titles in the Open Era, and she is just one behind Margaret Court, who has 24 Grand Slams, on the all-time list. If she can win one more Slam she will move level with Court and that would be an amazing story for an athlete that serves as a tireless champion for all mothers.
Yet Williams has also faced a great deal of criticism this week after Australian clay court specialist Dominic Thiem was ousted from his press conference in order to make way for her.
She wanted to get her post-match press duties over and done with as quickly as possible after her defeat to Kenin, but she was told that Thiem was using the room.
After further talks, officials decided to kick him out to accommodate Williams, prompting a furious reaction as he accused her of having “a bad personality”.
“I don’t really get it, seriously,” he said. “I mean, what the hell? No, but it’s a joke, really. I have to leave the room because she’s coming? It doesn’t matter if it is me who sits in there, even if a junior is in there. I am 100% sure Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal would never do something like that.”
Eurosport pundit Annabel Croft slammed her behaviour and demanded she apologize to Thiem.
“It is a question of who is in charge here. It is unbelievably disrespectful to a man that is still in the draw,” said Croft. “She should be made to wait an extra five minutes until finished. Had it been a role reversal there would have been absolute uproar. It’s just appalling.”
There has been no response as of yet from Williams, but it could be a misunderstanding.
Some say she asked for Room 2 and not for Thiem to be moved, and the organizers just decided to evict the Austrian from the main room. Staff at the French Open have questions to answer.
Williams also had every right to be keen to get media duties out the way as quickly as possible.
She had lost and she would have been desperate to get back to her daughter as soon as possible, so everyone should give her the benefit of the doubt and let her get on with dazzling on court and being a great mom.
