Another day, another celebrity celebrating the upcoming arrival of their bound-to-be-famous spawn.
This time, it’s Desperate Housewives alum Eva Longoria Baston, who is believed to be due to give birth to her little boy later this month.
Like most first-time mums, 43-year-old Texan Eva can’t wait to meet her little guy – and for all the same reasons us parents anticipate meeting our own bundles of joy for the first time.
“I just can’t wait to see what his personality is like, what he looks like, how much hair he’s going to have,” she says. “There’s so much to look forward to, and it’s becoming more real every day.”
Eva, who married her now-husband Jose ‘Pepe’ Baston this time two years ago, threw an elaborate pyjama-party-style brunch at Hollywood’s Lombardi House and gathered her famed friends – Elizabeth Banks, Sophia Bush, Marisa Tomei and Melanie Griffith to name a few – to join her in photo-boothing the special occasion.
Here, we round up the best happy snaps of Eva’s baby shower of the hour, starting with…
The mum-to-be couldn’t get enough of her shower, posting this picture to wish everyone a lovely week – from her and Baby Baston!

Not only were guests treated to hair-braiding and massages, but sources say the rose was “flowing”. And if guests didn’t like rose, they could’ve always swung by Eva’s custom-made Bloody Mary bar.
“So thankful for such a beautiful baby shower, definitely felt the love,” says Eva.
“Happy to be surrounded by these beauties! @elizabethbanks is toasting my belly and my sweet friend @marisatomei is always spreading love and light! What a special day for #BabyBaston and his mommy!”
“What a beautiful day with all of my girls! Thank you for your constant guidance and support! I love y’all so much!”
