A radiant Eva Longoria was all lit up as she supported her fiancé Tony Parker at a basketball game this week. The Desperate Housewives star had extra reason to sparkle, however, as she showed off her amazing engagement ring.
The five-carat plus, emerald-cut diamond ring, by Beverly Hills jewellery designer Jean Dousset, boasts an impressive 247 accenting diamonds. Jean was among the friends who helped the couple celebrate their engagement after Tony popped the question on November 30 at Eva's home. "We toasted the couple with champagne," he says. "Eva was beyond happy. She was ecstatic."
Eva and her beau, who met two years ago, are now busy planning their big day in France - a country which has a special place in their hearts. Twenty-four-year-old Belgian-born Tony, who was raised in Paris, proposed to Eva, 31, in French and English.
And the stunning actress would have had no problem understanding both versions as she has picked up her beau's native tongue after taking lessons. And the wedding ceremony, which is set to take place next summer, will be in both languages.
The couple have already booked a location, a castle just outside the French capital. "I wanted Paris as a backdrop," Eva told one American magazine. "It's the most romantic place in the world. We want it to be a fairy-tale wedding." And like any bride-to-be the actress can't wait to find her dream dress. "I'm definitely excited about that," she says. "That's probably what I'm most excited about other than becoming Mrs Parker."
