Eva Longoria steps out with rarely seen son as they pose together in sweet photo

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria was all smiles as she posed with her rarely seen son Santiago 'Santi' Enrique Baston, six, at the Moana 2 premiere earlier this week

Eva Longoria has been spotted with her seldom-seen son, Santiago "Santi" Bastón, gracing the red carpet at the LA premiere of Walt Disney Animation Studios' Moana 2 at Hollywood's famed El Capitan Theater. The pair looked smashing as they held hands and journeyed into the cinema, sharing an adorable moment when little Santiago even got a chance to strike a pose with Moana herself.

Dressed for the occasion, Eva went for a chic yet relaxed vibe, donning blue jeans teamed with a black oversized blazer, while Santi mirrored his mum with a white button-up shirt paired with grey shorts, beaming for the shutterbugs. The accessories were spot on – Eva with her statement large gold hoop earrings, along with a cute gold nameplate necklace proudly displaying 'Santi'. She shares her bundle of joy with her spouse José Antonio "Pepe" Bastón.

Just last month, the mother-son duo dazzled at the starry Global Gift Gala in Paris, held at the Four Seasons Hotel. There, Eva slipped into old Hollywood glamour mode with a shimmering silver strapless gown that cascaded to the floor, while Santi was the epitome of a mini-gentleman in his smart black tux, crisp shirt, and casual-chic white Velcro trainers.

Although previously sporting a pink cast on his arm, recent snaps show Santi sans cast, suggesting he's made a good recovery.

Despite her close relationship with Santi, the star initially had no desire to have children of her own. However, this changed when she formed a bond with José's kids.

In 2018, Eva announced the birth of her son on Instagram, writing: "From the moment he was placed in my arms, I knew no love like this before. The premiere comes weeks after Eva told Marie Claire she was 'privileged' enough to be able to 'escape' this 'dystopian country' following President Donald Trump's re-election. However, the star clarified her comments just days later in a chat with The View: Behind the Table podcast host Ana Navarro."

The premiere comes just weeks after Eva told Marie Claire that she felt 'privileged' to be able to 'escape' from this 'dystopian country' following President Donald Trump's re-election. However, she clarified her comments a few days later during a conversation with The View: Behind the Table podcast host Ana Navarro.

"Will you please let them know I didn't move out of the United States because of Trump? " she said. "I've been in Europe for almost three years. That's in the article, by the way, the article says that. People just grabbed some clickbait stuff to be divisive. Which makes me so sad that everything you say is just meant to be divisive when we can't be that way right now."

"I didn't leave because of the political environment. I left because my work took me there. I'm a proud American. I've always been a proud American," the star added.
