Eva Longoria has celebrated her 50th birthday, recruiting long-time pal Jessica Alba to help mark the occasion in style.
Alba, 43, took to social media on Sunday, March 16, to share photos and videos from the festivities, posting a gushing tribute to Longoria via an Instagram post. “Grateful to be in Miami celebrating my friend @evalongoria 💃🏽🫶🏽💗 You are a force — endlessly inspiring, multi-hyphenate, hilarious, generous, real, full of life and the ultimate #Chingona 💫 Cheers to another lap around the sun! Besos xxx,” Alba captioned her carousel.
The newly single actress, who filed for divorce from estranged husband Cash Warren on February 7 after 16 years of marriage, included happy snaps of fellow party goers on board a luxury yacht with her and Longoria. Gloria Estefan and daughter Emily Estefan, hair stylist Ken Paves, Becky G, real name Rebeca Gomez, photographer Carlos Lopez and actress Angelique Cabral were all spotted at the star-studded bash.
In one sweet snap, Alba was seen wrapping her arms around Longoria, who held her own arm around her friend’s grasp. The close friends were also seen at a separate birthday celebration, with Alba wearing a navy two-piece set and white sunglasses as she joined Longoria’s wider friendship circle once again. Longoria maintained her own all-white theme at the day event, seen in her second head-to-toe white ensemble.
Longoria shared memories from the yacht party via her own Instagram Stories on Sunday night, posting a photo of Paves busting a move alongside her, as well as cuddles with the Estefan family and the same shot Alba had shared of the pair, captioning it, “Best dance partner!”
Alba and Longoria have been friends for more than two decades, stepping out together in 2012 for the Democratic National Convention staged in Charlotte, North Carolina, and photographed together at various events even earlier. More recently, Alba partied with Longoria at a Culture Makers event held in Beverly Hills on February 21.
Alba has kept herself busy since announcing her split from Warren, with whom she shares three children, Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 6. On February 23, Alba shared via Instagram that she’d celebrated Paris Hilton’s recent 44th birthday at a party in Los Angeles. Alba’s photo dump at the time included hang-outs with Sofia Vergara, Snoop Dogg and Anya Taylor-Joy.
The Honest founder also took a mother-son trip with Hayes to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico at the beginning of February, plus a girls’ weekend in New Orleans with Honor and Haven to catch the 2025 Super Bowl on February 9.
Alba also got a post-split tattoo inked in the inside of her arm, which reads, “life is transformation is life.” Daniel Winter, a.k.a. winterstone, who performed Alba’s new tattoo work, exclusively told Us Weekly on March 2 that he thought Alba was “a very spiritual, lovely human,” adding that they “had such a great time together.”
“There’s only good things to say about her. Jessica picked the quote and had a strong idea of what she wanted,” the tattoo artist told Us.
