The Telenovela actress had been anticipating the birth of her child. She expressed her excitement to meet her baby boy in an interview with E! News at the premiere of her new movie Overboard.
"I just can't wait to see what his personality is like, what he looks like, how much hair he's going to have. There's so much to look forward to, and it's becoming more real every day," Longoria said.
Friends and family also shared the excitement ahead of the baby's arrival. They threw the new mom an extravagant baby shower at Lombardi House in Hollywood in early May.
There was a photo booth with "Baby Baston" written on the printouts, a Bloody Mary bar, and a rosé being passed around. An insider revealed that there was even a glam-up station where guests pampered themselves to massage chairs and hair makeup.
Longoria and 50-year-old Baston started dating in 2013 and got engaged in Dubai in December 2015. Baston is the president of Televisa, the largest media company in Latin America. He and Longoria married in Mexico and had an extravagant reception, which included a fireworks display.
