Eva Longoria has broken her silence regarding her recent split from husband Tony Parker.
"It is with great sadness that after 7 years together, Tony and I have decided to divorce," she tweeted Wednesday. "We love each other deeply and pray for each other's happiness."
The new issue of Us Weekly reports that Longoria recently discovered that Parker, 28, has been exchanging personal text messages with a mutual female friend for nearly a year.
The actress confirmed the report to her good friend, "Extra" host Mario Lopez, saying she found hundreds of texts on Parker's phone from the wife of one of his teammates.
Longoria also told Lopez that her now-estranged husband cheated on her earlier in their marriage with a different woman, whom he kept in touch with via Facebook.
"She is devastated, she wants us all to know that," Lopez said. "But she's strong."
According to Sports Illustrated writer Bryan Armen Graham, the other woman in question is Erin Barry, the wife of Parker's teammate Brent Barry.
"Have it on good authority from entertainment sources that 'former teammate' in Tony Parker-Eva Longoria affair is Brent Barry," Graham tweeted, adding that the Barrys also are going through a divorce.
According to Us, Parker confessed to the infidelity after he was confronted by Longoria.
"Eva is heartbroken by the betrayal," a source told the mag. "Once the trust was lost, the marriage was over."
The "Desperate Housewives" actress, 35, filed divorce papers in Los Angeles Superior Court Wednesday morning, citing "irreconcilable differences." According to TMZ.com, she is also asking for spousal support.
The couple, who broke up briefly before they announced their engagement in 2006, were married in July of 2007.
