Eva Longoria had the cutest red carpet date yet again — her 6-year-old son, Santiago "Santi" Bastón.
On Monday, November 25, the 49-year-old Hollywood icon stepped out for the Los Angeles premiere of Moana 2 at the El Capitan Theatre, holding hands with her little lookalike. Santi was all smiles in a white button-up shirt, gray shorts, and velcro sneakers, while his mom kept it cool in a black blazer, wide-leg jeans, and gold hoop earrings.
Ahead of the screening, the mother-son duo paused to snap a photo with Moana herself. Later, Longoria, who shares Santi with her husband José "Pepe" Bastón, gave fans a behind-the-scenes look on her Instagram Story, sharing a sweet moment of Santi posing with Maui.
This marks the second time in two months that the actress has brought her mini-me along for a star-studded event. Back in October, the pair attended the Global Gift Gala in Paris, where the Desperate Housewives alum wore a sequin-embellished silver gown while her son donned a black tux with a bright pink cast on his arm.
Following the event, Longoria took to Instagram to share a carousel of images from the night. "Postcards from Paris✨," she captioned the post on Monday, October 7. While the snapshots showed the Land of Women star in various poses, it was the third photo — featuring her with Santi — that had fans racing to the comments section.
"Absolutely stunning looking lady and the little gentleman too😍," one person swooned.
"Loving the red carpet pics with your son 👦🏻," another added.
"WOW🔥🔥🔥gorgeous! Santi is adorable 😍," chimed in a third.
Earlier this month, Longoria opened up about splitting her time between Spain and Mexico with her husband and son in an interview with Marie Claire. For years, the family has primarily lived outside of Hollywood, but due to the city "changing," they decided to go abroad.
"I had my whole adult life here," she told the publication. "But even before [the pandemic], it was changing. The vibe was different. And then Covid happened, and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it's the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to s*** on California — it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now."
In addition to Santi, Longoria is also a stepmom to three of Bastón's children from his previous marriage to actress and model Natalia Esperón: Natalia, 28, and twins José Antonio and Mariana, 21.
