Eva Longoria is engaged! The actress announced her engagement on Sunday by posting a photo to Twitter shortly after boyfriend Jose Antonio Baston proposed to her in Dubai.
“Ummmm so this happened….#Engaged #Dubai #Happiness,” wrote the Desperate Housewives star. In the romantic shot, the 40-year-old debuts her stunning engagement ring, which features a large ruby surrounded by diamonds.
The two had travelled to Dubai to attend the Global Gift Gala at the 2015 Dubai International Film Festival. Eva kept her fans in the loop of their whirlwind trip via Snapchat, revealing that the couple enjoyed a champagne picnic before later riding on camels. Jose’s proposal was clearly the cherry on the cake.
Eva began dating the president of Televisa, Latin America’s largest media company, in 2013.
“He’s been sweeping her off her feet and courting her like a proper gentleman,” a source told People of their budding romance in 2013.
The actress has gushed about her new fiancé in the past, praising both his mind and his personal style.

“He’s a good dresser,” she told Ellen DeGeneres on her show last year. “I always have to step it up. It’s exhausting.”
She also spoke to People magazine about the businessman, who is 47. “You know, in general I’m attracted to humour and intellect in a man,” she said. When asked whether her Mexico-based boyfriend had both of those things, she replied with a laugh, “Sure. Let me tell you, I’m very lucky in my life.”
Prior to her romance with Jose, Eva dated Ernesto Arguello, but their relationship came to an end in August after four months of dating. She split from Eduardo Cruz, Penelope Cruz’s younger brother, in March 2013.
This will mark the third marriage for brunette, who was married to General Hospital actor Tyler Christopher from 2002 to 2004 and to NBA star Tony Parker from 2007 to 2011.
