Tony Parker's post-NBA career has focused on his business ventures in France, including his ownership of ASVEL, a top-tier European basketball team. His personal life has also seen changes, having been married to journalist Axelle Francine from 2014 to 2020. Most recently, in early 2024, he was in a public relationship with model Agathe Teyssier, though reports indicate the couple has since separated, leaving the NBA legend currently single.
The Fairytale Romance and The 'Emotional Affair' Scandal
The relationship between the actress and the basketball star began in 2004, culminating in a lavish, high-profile wedding in Paris, France, on July 7, 2007—a date chosen for Tony's jersey number, seven. The couple quickly became a fixture on red carpets, representing the perfect blend of Hollywood glamour and sports royalty.The marriage lasted just over three years. In November 2010, Eva Longoria filed for divorce, citing "irreconcilable differences." The news sent shockwaves through the celebrity world, but the reason for the split was quickly revealed to be far more painful than a simple separation.
The core of the scandal centered on the discovery of "hundreds of text messages" on Tony Parker's phone. These texts were exchanged with Erin Barry, the wife of Parker's then-former San Antonio Spurs teammate, Brent Barry. Eva Longoria reportedly confided in her friend, *Extra* host Mario Lopez, confirming the existence of the texts and the emotional betrayal.
The texts, which were described as a "sexting" exchange, suggested a prolonged "emotional affair" rather than a purely physical one, though reports also indicated Parker may have cheated earlier in the marriage. The public fallout was immense, with the narrative quickly framing Eva Longoria as the blindsided wife and Tony Parker as the unfaithful sports star.
Eva Longoria's Recent Confession and The Path to Healing
While the divorce was finalized quickly and relatively amicably—thanks in part to a prenuptial agreement—the emotional toll on the *Desperate Housewives* star was significant. In a fresh, 2024 update, Eva Longoria made an unexpected confession about the marriage during an appearance in her friend Victoria Beckham's Netflix documentary.Longoria admitted that during her marriage to the NBA player, she felt a profound sense of emptiness and self-doubt. The public nature of the infidelity and the subsequent media frenzy made the healing process even more challenging. However, the actress channeled her pain into self-improvement and a recommitment to her career.
Her subsequent marriage to José Antonio Bastón, whom she affectionately calls "Pepe," marked a new chapter. Longoria has often spoken about how their relationship provided a sense of maturity and stability that she had not experienced before. The birth of their son, Santiago, further solidified her focus on family life, a stark contrast to the turbulent years following the divorce from Parker.
Tony Parker's Life Post-Divorce: Career and Relationships
Tony Parker’s career on the basketball court continued to thrive after the divorce, culminating in his 2023 Hall of Fame induction. However, his personal life also saw significant changes.In 2014, Parker married French journalist Axelle Francine. They had two sons together, Josh and Liam, before separating in 2020. This second divorce was handled with much less fanfare than his split from Longoria, reflecting his shift away from the Hollywood spotlight toward a more private European focus.
Parker’s transition to business mogul status, particularly his work with LDLC ASVEL in Lyon, France, has been a major focus. This ownership role and his commitment to developing French basketball talent showcase a different facet of the former point guard’s ambition.
The most recent update in 2024 confirmed his relationship with model Agathe Teyssier, with the couple making several public appearances. While reports of their recent separation suggest another transition in his personal life, Parker remains focused on his business empire and fatherhood, successfully moving past the drama that defined his early celebrity years.
The Lasting Legacy of a Power Couple

Their marriage, while short-lived, defined a cultural moment, blending the worlds of the San Antonio Spurs dynasty and prime-time television.Today, the two former spouses embody successful, separate lives. Eva Longoria is a directorial and production powerhouse, a devoted mother, and a prominent activist. Tony Parker is a retired NBA legend, a Hall of Famer, and a successful European business owner.
