10 Things to Know About Eva Longoria's Husband, José Antonio Bastón

We had to get this out of the way: 47-year-old José Antonio Bastón Patino, who goes by Pepe, is a cutie! Evidence in all photos of him to come straight ahead.

Pepe was born on April 13, 1968.

Before Eva stole his heart, José Antonio was married to actress Natalia Esperón, who you might remember from uberfamous telenovela Agujetas de Color de Rosa. The couple had three children: Natalia, who is in her 20s, and twins Mariana and José Antonio.

José Antonio runs the largest Spanish-speaking media group in the world and has been with the company since 1989.

Even though his job is in television, he had never heard of Eva and hadn't seen an episode of Desperate Housewives when the two first met in 2013, the actress confessed to Ellen DeGeneres in an interview.

Eva told People: "I was getting out of a bad relationship, and he was getting out of a relationship, so there wasn't a connection. So, we had a pleasant conversation, but there was no real connection." The couple got together six months later when they were reintroduced.

To propose, Pepe got down in one knee, not in India like he did in this picture, but in the dessert of Dubai. He gave Eva a gorgeous ruby and diamond engagement ring.

José Antonio and Eva have been calling each other husband and wife for months, according to an interview Eva gave to Us Weekly. "The word fiancée feels like I got demoted! We feel married," she said.

Eva told Ellen that's her nickname for Pepe. She told People it's all "because he always has a pocket square and a suit."

José Antonio and Eva married in Valle de Bravo on May 21, 2016.
