Eva Longoria's Compassionate Intervention: Offers Lifeline to Troubled Ex!
Even as Eva Longoria revels in her thriving marriage with José Bastón, a prominent Mexican entrepreneur, she's filled with worry for her distressed ex-husband, Tyler Christopher, a former soap opera actor. Christopher, 50, who has publicly admitted his struggle with alcoholism, was recently detained at Hollywood Burbank Airport when the police found him incapacitated on a terminal floor, exhibiting clear signs of excessive alcohol consumption.
Sources disclose that this shocking incident prompted Longoria, 48, to extend a helping hand to Christopher, whom she divorced in 2004. Their split coincided with her career skyrocketing, courtesy of the successful prime-time soap opera, 'Desperate Housewives'.
A close friend shared, "Eva saw his arrest photo and had a hard time recognizing the man she once married. Regardless, she's ready to provide any assistance Tyler needs, even funding his rehabilitation journey!"
In the past, Longoria has expressed remorse over the dissolution of their marriage, stating, "He was such a lovely man, but I was extremely young. I was a dismal wife!"
However, a source suggests Christopher continues to harbor resentment over her decision to leave him, which might be fueling his descent into despair.
"Tyler never truly got past this," reveals another friend. "He felt abandoned by Eva the moment she became Hollywood's darling!"
Christopher, known for his portrayal of Nikolas Cassadine on General Hospital from 1996 to 2016, subsequently married journalist Brienne Pedigo. Nevertheless, after 11 years, their marriage also ended in divorce in 2019.
Christopher has been grappling with both career stagnation and personal challenges, such as a public intoxication arrest in 2019 and a bout of homelessness.
A source close to him emphasized the importance of Longoria's intervention, stating, "Tyler was touched by Eva expressing her ongoing concern for him and offering her support. He could truly use a friend in this difficult time!"
