Eva Longoria: 'I want to cry' every time I talk about my divorce

Eva Longoria said doing beauty pageants 'really prepared me interview-wise, confidence-wise.'

Even though Eva Longoria spoke with Allure magazine just a few days before her divorce became final in January, the ex-Mrs. Tony Parker still welled up with tears when discussing her dramatically changed life.

"Every time I talk about it, I want to cry," Longoria admitted in an interview for the mag's April issue. "It's been hard. Very hard. I'm just trying to get through it as gracefully as possible without any drama."

Longoria, who separated from Parker in November, is still readjusting to life without the NBA player.

"Today is such a typical day. I woke up and worked out. I do an interview, then I've got to go to work, and tonight, I have a dinner meeting," the actress said. "It's kind of weird because my life is ? I'm kind of having to find new patterns because I'm not used to having ? I'm used to always being on a plane and flying to a basketball game."

Her personal life has taken on a much different form, particularly now that two close female friends are living with her.

"We always say that my house is the female 'Entourage,' " Longoria joked.

"When you go through something as devastating as a divorce, you just want to be surrounded by people who care for you," she said of her roommates. "I don't know what I'd do without them."

Longoria also has found herself relying on two of her "Desperate Housewives" co-stars.

"Two actors who I lean on heavily for life advice are Marcia Cross and Felicity [Huffman]. We're like sisters," she said. "We've been through so much with the show and with our lives changing. We've been through marriage, death, divorce, children. They're just two special human beings."

And Longoria takes special pride in surrounding herself with confident, strong female friends.

"You know, some people collect plates and stamps and coins. I collect people," she said. "I collect amazing, smart, interesting women."

But Longoria's life isn't exactly devoid of romance these days. The 36-year-old has been dating Spanish singer Eduardo Cruz, the younger brother of actress Penelope Cruz.

"I'm in a transition stage, settling into a new routine," Longoria told the magazine. "And I welcome it."
