Eva Longoria has said that she admires Victoria Beckham for the way she handles her family life.

The actress claimed she can sympathise with the scrutiny Beckham comes under for being attached to a top sports star, as she is married to US basketball player Tony Parker.

Longoria told Glamour: "Victoria Beckham is lovely, I really admire the wife and mother she is.

"I've known my best friends between 10 and 20 years. I do have a lot in common with Victoria.

"Both of our husbands are athletes and they travel a lot. We're always calling each other because they are always gone."
