Longoria at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival
Longoria was born on March 15, 1975, in Corpus Christi, Texas, the youngest of four daughters of Tejano parents Ella Eva (Mireles) and Enrique Longoria Jr. One of his sisters had special needs. Longoria told Redbook in 2016:
He was raised Roman Catholic. She did not speak Spanish until growing up and did not learn the language until 2009. While in high school, she worked part-time at a Wendy's restaurant for three years to help earn money for her quinceañera. Longoria previously told the press how her years in fast food as a teen shaped her work ethic, saying, "I couldn't wait to work and make my own money. Could have done."
Longoria has publicly cited Jennifer Lopez as her inspiration early in her career. "Jennifer broke down so many doors so we could walk through them," he told People magazine. "And he kicked them down. They weren't easy doors." He described Tejana legend Selena as "my idol, my inspiration" and "the reason I even dared to dream that a better life was possible."
After spending three years at California State University, Northridge, she received her master's degree in Chicano studies in May 2013. "This place was probably the place where I grew the most in my life… "I went to night school. I would finish shooting Desperate Housewives and come here from 7 to 10 at night and then go home and do it all again.
Used to be on set at 5:00 in the morning. It filled my heart with Mexican pride." Her thesis was "Success Stems from Diversity: The Value of Latinas in STEM Careers".
