Matt Barnes of the LA Lakers just announced last week that he split up with his fiancee and mother of his children Gloria Govan, who is one of the stars of the show ‘Basketball Wives’. It didn’t take long for the media to try and tie Barnes to another woman. This one seems a bit manufactured given Eva Longoria is still dating someone, but who knows, stranger things have happened in the world of NBA WAG’s….
Spies at the Greenwich Village restaurant said Longoria, who’s still dating Penelope Cruz’s younger brother, Eduardo, also dined with two of her close friends — stylist Robert Verdi and entrepreneur Loren Ridinger — but seemed very focused on Barnes…
A spy in the restaurant told us: “There was definitely a spark between Eva and Matt. They weren’t seated next to each other, but you could tell there was something between them. There was a little hand-holding over the table and a lot of eye contact.”
This isn’t the first time Longoria has been out with Barnes. On Oct. 16, she posted a photo on Twitter of herself partying with Barnes and George Lopez at Club Nikki in Las Vegas…
A rep for Longoria told us, “Eva and Matt are friends and are working together doing charity work for Eva’s Padres Contra El Cáncer. She was at the dinner amongst her other friends.”
