Eva Longoria Parker Fuels Pregnancy Rumours

Actress EVA LONGORIA PARKER has fuelled reports she is expecting her first child with husband TONY PARKER - after she was photographed with a protruding stomach.

The Desperate Housewives beauty married French basketball star Parker in July last year (07) and the couple has been the subject of pregnancy rumours ever since.

And paparazzi pictures taken of Longoria Parker with her husband on Tuesday night (19Aug08) - revealing the actress' suspicious-looking swollen belly - have sent gossips into a spin.

The snaps emerged just a week after Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry revealed the couple were "desperately trying to get pregnant".

Longoria Parker recently admitted she would want to keep her pregnancy a secret, insisting: "I agree with Jennifer Lopez. Somebody asked her, 'Why did you hide your pregnancy for so long?' She said, 'I didn't hide it from the people who needed to know.'"
