Eva Longoria 'hurt by Parker divorce'

Eva Longoria has reportedly struggled to cope with her split from husband Tony Parker.

The Desperate Housewives actress filed for divorce from the NBA player amidst cheating allegations and is said to be extremely "hurt" by the end of the relationship.

The star's best friend Robert Verdi told Life & Style: "Eva is resilient... and hurt. But she will overcome the pain of being hurt; she will.

"People get hurt. But she's strong and smart. You learn and move on. She's got a really good group around her."

Verdi went on to say that he feels hopeful that she will find the right man in the future, adding: "She's a great catch in every way, as a friend and a wife!"
