She has only just begun seeing Eduardo Cruz following her divorce from Tony Parker.

But Eva Longoria has revealed her desire to start a family.

Speaking on the Rachael Ray Show in an episode that will air on Monday, the Desperate Housewives actress said: "I want to have kids and be a mum."

The starlet didn't mention her new beau that she has been linked with since February, but instead confessed her fears on re-entering the dating scene.

"I'm not good with dating, I get really nervous!" she said.

"I've never been a date. I've been married or in a relationship, so this is going to be, you know, scary."

Eva, 36, was appearing on the show to promote her new cookbook, Eva's Kitchen: Cooking with Love for Family & Friends.
