Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria's blossoming relationship with NBA star Tony Parker is clearly hotting up, as the two were spotted with their arms around each other during a trip to Beijing.

The celebrity couple, who are rumoured to have got engaged, were in the Chinese city as part of Tony's work with Basketball Without Borders, a sports camp for kids to promote global friendships and diversity. But, after demonstrating his on-court skills for the charity effort, it looked as if the 6ft 2in basketball star also made plenty of time for showing his romantic side.

Eva, recently linked with her The Sentinel co-star Kiefer Sutherland and Star Wars hunk Hayden Christensen, confirmed her rumoured romance with Tony during the Beijing getaway for the first time. "I've been linked to so many guys," she said, "but they got it right with him."

Born in Belgium to American parents, and raised in France – his father was a European league basketball star – Tony's no stranger to international life. And it looks like he's having an influence on his Texas-born girlfriend, as the petite beauty is reportedly trying to learn French, her beau's native tongue.
