How they met
During a Spurs (basketball) match in 2004. Eva decided she liked the look of Tony and promptly sought him out in the changing rooms after the match. Nice move. Despite the difference in height, they look blissfully happy and married in Paris in summer 2007.

Their secrets
Desperate Housewives actress Eva's not one to let go of her man once she's found Mr Right. The couple have built themselves a superb love nest in Texas, and Eva dreams of having 10 (ten!) kids.

Why they work
After a rough patch in late 2006, Tony finally decided to pop the question to Eva and he did it in style, with candles, rose petals - the works. Who said romance is dead?
