EVA LONGORIA - LONGORIA MET LOVER IN BOYS LOCKER ROOM

TV stunner EVA LONGORIA was so shy to go into the locker room of her future boyfriend TONY PARKER's basketball team - she almost didn't get to meet him.

The DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES star, who has been dating the Belgian sports star since January (05), was invited to meet his team, the San Antonio Spurs, after a game, but refused to go because she was afraid of seeing naked men.

She says, "When Desperate Housewives took off, my dad and I were invited to a game to meet the players. My dad went into the locker room and the staff said to me, 'You can go in too.'

"I was like 'No way!' I so didn't want to see anyone naked or in towels.

"But I went in, and I met Tony."

The brunette then charmed Parker by talking to him in his native tongue.

She adds, "Well, he speaks French so I tried to talk to him in his own language, and then he asked my dad to dinner."
