You know it's a lumbering news day when Eva Longoria's love life is the chosen topic to ticker across the screen of Ireland AM.

Here goes; Eva Longoria has split with the guy she's been photographed approximately twice with, Eduardo Cruz - Penelope Cruz's 26-year-old brother… Yip, they were always in it for the long haul…

The Desperate Housewives totty, who divorced ex-husband Tony Parker in 2010 after three years of marriage amid allegations he had cheated on her with a friend's wife, is said to be focusing on 'work' in the wake of the 'mutual' split.

An insider told US Weekly magazine: "It was mutual decision. They are staying friends. She's focusing on work and the end of Desperate Housewives.'

After meeting Eduardo soon after her split from Tony, Eva admitted she was 'lucky' to have found another relationship so quickly, saying: "The truth is, I should be angry, resentful and disillusioned about relationships. But I'm not. I was very lucky to find Edu. There's a reason I fell in love and got married. I believed in it. Love did not work with that person. But it can work with another."

Just not Eduardo.
