Eva Longoria, 50, sizzles in black string bikini after revealing secrets to her flawless figure

Eva Longoria showed off her sensational figure yet again when she was spotted soaking up the sun on a Spanish beach this week.

The Desperate Housewives star, who now lives between Spain and Mexico, was indulging in a day in the water in her European city of residence, Marbella.

She was accompanied by her seven-year-old son Santiago, whom she shares with her third husband Jose Baston, a dashing Mexican businessman.

Her sculpted physique was on sizzling display in a barely-there black string bikini that offered up a generous helping of cleavage.

Flaunting her chiseled midriff and her vertiginous legs, the swimsuit was also cut to allow Eva, 50, to hint heavily at her derriere as she sauntered across the pebbles.

She kept her hair back in a ponytail and frolicked into the waves, splashing the water on her face and apparently rubbing some of it on her arms.

Back on dry land, Eva occasionally pulled on a black set of shorts to augment her look, and she was seen chatting on the phone whilst on the beach. 

Going for a minimalistic look where makeup was concerned, she added a splash of glitz to the ensemble in the form of a gleaming gold medallion. 

The outing comes after Eva shared the three main planks of the diet that helps her maintain her exquisite figure: intermittent fasting, clean eating, and moderation.

She follows a 16:8 fasting window (eating between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.) and focuses on protein, leafy greens, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates.

She also avoids processed carbs, sugar, and fried foods, particularly during the early postpartum stage.

She generally eats within an eight-hour window, typically between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m., according to Women’s Health.

She prioritizes whole, unprocessed foods like lean protein (chicken, fish, eggs), leafy greens, healthy fats (avocados, olive oil), and complex carbohydrates (quinoa, brown rice).

The workout enthusiast cuts out processed carbs, sugar, and fried foods, especially after pregnancy, and incorporates protein into every meal and snack. She uses healthy fats like avocado in her meals and chooses complex carbs like quinoa and brown rice over refined grains.

The cover girl believes in moderation and avoids restrictive diets, according to Celebwell, but generally gravitates towards healthy options. Eva emphasizes staying hydrated, says Prevention, which is a crucial part of any healthy lifestyle.

Snacking includes almonds, yogurt, and fruit.

Eva’s new travel docuseries Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain has performed strongly for CNN. 

After the success of Searching for Mexico, the Spanish edition led to yet another installment—this time taking the actress to France.

‘France has long been a cornerstone of global cuisine, and I’m thrilled to be partnering with CNN for this next chapter in our culinary and cultural journey,’ Longoria said in a statement, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

In May Longoria said she always thought she’d become a success in Hollywood. 

The versatile actress has enjoyed a hugely successful career, starring in shows such as Only Murders in the Building, and Eva has now revealed that she never doubted her own talent. 

The actress told Byrdie: ‘When I look at the longevity I’ve had in this industry, it makes sense to me. ‘Of course, I’m going to work as hard as I can at whatever I do, and it just happens to be in this industry. I knew I’d be successful because I was surrounded by successful women – my mother, sisters, and aunts were independent, strong, smart, and charitable. 

‘They were everything I wanted to be.’ 

Eva’s self-belief has helped her to navigate the pitfalls of Hollywood. She explained: ‘I remember the first time I was on a billboard and somebody said to me, “Oh my god, who would have thought?”

‘And I said, “Me. I thought it. I dreamt it.” If you don’t champion yourself, who else is going to? That unwavering belief in yourself will take you so far.’ 

Despite this, Eva admits that her priorities have changed in recent years.

The brunette beauty shared: ‘When you’re young, you should say yes to every opportunity, so you can decide what you want to do in life. 

‘Now that I’m 50, I’m prioritizing differently,’ explained the close friend of ER star George Clooney.

‘I’m curating my life to be very specific to what I want the next 50 years to look like. I’m spending more time with my family, working less, and doing more of what I love. 

‘Being financially secure helps with those decisions, but I feel I’ve worked hard enough to say ‘no’ now.’ Eva has also confessed to becoming more health-conscious in recent years. 

The actress said: ‘I don’t mind ageing. I just want to age well. I’m grateful to be able to move my body and work out, hike up a mountain, and play with my son. I’m trying to be as mobile as possible for as long as possible.’
