    Eva Longoria acts like a "crazy aunt" and "spoils" her goddaughter Harper Beckham

    The 'Desperate Housewives' star grew close to Harper's parents - Victoria and David Beckham - while they were living in Los Angeles and was chosen to be godmother to their only daughter after she was born in 2011 - and Eva admits she loves to indulge the 13 year old whenever she gets the chance


    She told the Guardian newspaper: "I'm like a crazy aunt that spoils her and supports her in anything she wants to do. She's the sweetest kid you'll ever meet."

    Eva was introduced to Victoria after her then-husband Tony Parker grew close to David Beckham during their time in the US and the pair have remained firm friends ever since.

    The actress previously admitted the women are "inseparable" and are always available to support each other.

    She told The Times newspaper: "I wish people knew how funny and charming and smart Victoria is. She's the funniest person. I think she's an introvert, but she's an extrovert with me. We are inseparable.

    "There's never a moment I can't call her, that she's not available, that she's not flying to see me, or I'm flying to see her."

    Eva even chose the Spice Girls star-turned-fashion designer to create her wedding dress when she married Jose Baston in 2016 and also asked her to act as a witness during the ceremony.

    She told Hello! magazine: "I asked Victoria to do my dress because I wanted it to be special and made with love - and I knew Victoria would make it with love.

    "Victoria was one of my witnesses, too - she signed the paper that says I was here - so it was a Victoria Beckham weekend.

    "She was the best, sweetest person to have there on this day. Not only did she do my wedding dress but she's one of my best friends so for her to be there was so special."
