American actress Eva Longoria says she is under pressure to become a mom, because her husband wants their kids to watch him play basketball.

The reason that San Antonio Spurs star Tony Parker wants to start a family soon is because he fears he'll be too old to play professionally if he waits to have children.

"Tony wants his children to be able to see him play... and I'd like lots of little TP juniors," the Sun quoted her, as saying.

Rumours had been going around that Eva is pregnant, however the Desperate Housewives star insists that she is not expecting and that she is just "fat".

The stunning Latina wriggler has admitted to putting on weight during a break from Desperate Housewives, a break which has been brought about by the ongoing Hollywood writers strike.

"We've been on strike, so I've been home in Texas. I've gained 10 pounds just cooking and eating," she added.
