Eva Longoria engaged to beau Jose Antonio Baston

Actress Eva Longoria is engaged to her beau Jose Antonio Baston after two years of the pair being romantically linked.

Sharing a photograph featuring the couple kissing, Longoria wrote: "Ummmm so this happened....#Engaged #Dubai #Happiness (sic)."

In the shared image, which was taken at a desert here, the "Over Her Dead Body" actress can be seen flaunting a huge ring on her left hand as she passionately kisses Baston, a television professional with whom she has been in a relationship since 2013, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The proposal comes as a surprise, since the 40-year-old actress had ruled out walking down the aisle for a third time, saying last year: "Marriage and kids are not on the horizon."

She split in 2011 from French basketball player Tony Parker to whom she was married for four years and before that, she had eloped with actor Christopher Tyler in 2002. The marriage broke up in 2004.

However, Longoria said that Baston makes her happier than ever before.

"I'm truly in love, mostly... every moment we get to spend together is a blessing. People want a secret to looking good, but there isn't one. I'm in love, that has a lot to do with it," she said.

"I take good care of myself, it's no secret, I eat a healthy diet and I exercise," Longoria added.
