She would not have married him if he wasn’t a successful basketball player or otherwise comparably distinguished. Parker has had to work very hard to become a star athlete, so that Longoria would say yes. Longoria is a major TV star in her own right, but that of course is not the reason Parker wanted to marry her. He would have married her even if she was a totally unknown receptionist at the Spurs headquarters office in San Antonio as long as she looked the same as she does.
Unfortunately for Longoria, because I am an evolutionary psychologist, I also know some things about her marriage that she herself does not yet know. First, more than likely, Parker is not being faithful to Longoria (although there is a good chance that Longoria herself is aware of this). There is absolutely no point in working very hard all his life to become a top NBA star if he has to limit himself to one mate at a time. Just like every other man, Tony Parker does everything he does in order to get laid (again and again). Second, because Longoria is seven years older than Parker, their marriage is unfortunately doomed to be short-lived. Of course, Hollywood marriages typically don’t last long (and there is an evolutionary psychological reason for that), but the fact that Longoria is so much older than Parker will be an additional factor in their short-lived marriage. I would predict that their marriage will end before Longoria turns 40."
