Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria, who endorsed Kamala Harris in the recently held US Presidential polls, has revealed that she and her family members do not live in the USA any longer.

She said they are splitting time between Mexico and Spain.

The popular Hollywood actor cited the election as one reason for the finality of her conviction. 

Reacting to Donald Trump's victory in the USA polls, she was quoted as saying by The Hollywood Reporter: "The shocking part is not that he won."

"It’s that a convicted criminal who spews so much hate could hold the highest office," she said targeting the President-elect.

“If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place,” she said.

She further acknowledged that she is “privileged” to be able to make the decision to move away.

“I get to escape and go somewhere,” she said.

“Most Americans aren’t so lucky. They’re going to be stuck in this dystopian country, and my anxiety and sadness is for them," the actress told the news portal.

Eva, her husband José Bastón and their 6-year-old son now live in Mexico and Spain.

The actress, who had gained international fame for her performance in the series Desperate Housewives, often ends up elsewhere in Europe and South America for work.

She does not frequently return to Los Angeles.

Trump returned for his second term after beating Harris in the crucial Presidential polls.

Trump clinched the election by winning 295 electoral votes in the 2024 presidential election.

His  Democratic rival Kamala Harris, who joined the presidential race midway after President Joe Biden backed out, won 226 votes.

Trump previously served as US president from 2016 to 2020.
