Longoria Parker 'banned from pregnancy'

Eva Longoria Parker has admitted that she would love to have a family, but that her job with Desperate Housewives won't allow it.

The actress told Austria's Madonna Magazine that she is anxious to have children with husband Tony Parker. However, her bosses have told her not to consider it while the show is still filming.

"Tony and I are working on expanding our family. But the producer has forbidden me from getting pregnant this year," she explained.

"Seriously! [Housewives co-star] Marcia [Cross]'s pregnancy came as a big surprise and posed a big problem for the scriptwriters."

Longoria Parker added that even though children are not in her immediate future, she still loves caring for her husband when she has the time.

"Even so, I love being a real housewife. I cook, I clean up, I do Tony's washing," she said.

"I work three to four days a week [in Los Angeles] and then fly to Texas to spend a long weekend with Tony. This means we can only have sex on the weekends."
