The ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress announced on Wednesday (17.11.10) that she and Tony were to end their three-year marriage and the basketball star insists he was always aware about what would be happening as they had been holding talks privately.
He said: "Eva and I have been discussing our situation privately. I was aware that she would be filing for divorce in Los Angeles."
Tony admits he is going through a very tough time as he struggles to cope with the breakdown of his marriage.
He said: "This is a difficult time right now for me and Eva. Everything else is our private life."
Although he wasn’t surprised by Eva’s decision to divorce and is upset over the situation, Tony is determined to concentrate on playing well for his basketball team, the San Antonio Spurs.
He said: "I'm getting great support from teammates and coaches. Right now, I just want to concentrate 100 per cent on winning basketball games with the Spurs."
Yesterday (18.11.10) Eva – who started dating Tony seven years ago - spoke of her sadness at the divorce but insisted they still loved each other.
She tweeted: "It is with great sadness that after 7 years together, Tony and I have decided to divorce. We love each other deeply and pray for each other's happiness."
The brunette beauty filed legal separation papers against her estranged spouse and will be divorcing him on the grounds of "irreconcilable differences".
