Eva Longoria's Texan babies

Eva Longoria's Texan babies

Eva Longoria wants to raise her children in Texas.

The 'Desperate Housewives' star - who is married to basketball player Tony Parker - is planning to leave Los Angeles when she becomes a mother.

She said: "Tony and I would both like a big family. I come from a family of four girls and Tony comes from a family of three boys. I grew up on a ranch and we grew our own vegetables. I'm very close to my sisters - so Tony and I both want a healthy, big family.

"Growing up in Texas is a great environment, there's lots of open land and you're surrounded by nature, which isn't something you have in a big city. It's really hard to appreciate nature when you are among all those buildings and cars."

Eva also revealed she loves being in a relationship, and "wouldn't want" to be single.

She added: "I've always had a boyfriend and then I met Tony and we got married, so there wasn't a lot of dating. I love being in a relationship - I'm very monogamous. I wouldn't want to be single."
