Eva Longoria: 'My health seriously suffered after divorce'

Eva Longoria has credited the gym and a tough trainer for helping her get over the pain of her split and divorce from husband Tony Parker.

The Desperate Housewives star admits the stress of the break-up in 2010 left her at her unhealthiest and while fans and friends were telling her how great she looked, inside she felt like she was wasting away.

She tells the new issue of Health magazine, "I was so thin and everyone kept saying how great I looked. It was probably the most unhealthy place I've ever been.

"In my worst time, people were saying I've never looked better."

But she has bounced back from the dark days and now admits, "I have a great diet and exercise routine... I like weightraining and abs. I hate the elliptical. I despise cardio. I just can't do it. So I try to do my cardio within the workout."
