Eva Longoria Finds Distance Sexy  8/16/06

Actress Eva Longoria finds being apart from boyfriend Tony Parker helps their relationship, because she spends all her time longing to be with him.

The Desperate Housewives beauty isn't fazed by spending days away from the basketball player as the time the couple do spend together is so good.

The 31-year-old says, "It's like being in a long distance relationship except we make it a point to spend almost every weekend together.

"And when we're together, we're always so glad to see each other that we never waste any time arguing or worrying about stupid things like you do if you're constantly at home with someone and things become routine.

"This way I get to travel a lot to wherever he's on the road or getting to visit his family in France. It's a very sexy kind of thing to be with someone who's on the road like Tony.

"You develop this tremendous sense of anticipation and longing for the other person because you're forced to spend a lot of time apart."
