Eva Longoria & Ernesto Arguello Split Is Temporary? 'Devious Maids' Producer & 'Ready For Love' Contestant 'On Hold,' Says Source
Eva Longoria and her boyfriend, Ernesto Arguello have reportedly split after four months of dating.
TMZ reported early Friday that the actress-turned-television producer severed ties after only four months of dating. Longoria is based in Los Angeles and Arguello lives in Miami.
Longoria and Arguello began dating after he split from the winner of the NBC dating show Ready For Love which Longoria produced.
Arguello was a bachelor on the NBC show. When his relationship with the winner turned sour, he began dating Longoria. The shock came as a surprise to her fans because the pair were spotted on vacation in Spain two weeks ago. A source told TMZ that the split may be temporary. "They're on hold right now," said the insider.
People reported on July 4 that Longoria, 38, said she is dating Arguello, 34, who she worked with for the last three months on the NBC show Ready For Love
Longoria said they were initially friends when he was first cast on the low-rated NBC show. She said she believed being friends first helped turn their relationship grow from platonic to romantic.
"I think that's why our relationship is so special - we truly started as friends," Longoria said of her new romance with Arguello. "I guess we have the press to thank for pushing us to see something we didn't see!"
She said at the time she had just returned from a trip to Nicaragua, Arguello's native country. During the trip with the Miami-based entrepreneur and philanthropist, she met his family.
Longoria has been married twice before, once to NBA player Toney Parker, from 2007 to 2011, and to actor Tyler Christopher, an actor from General Hospital, from 2002 to 2004.
