Eva Longoria Reveals Cousin Meryl Streep on Tonight Show

Eva Longoria recently revealed that she is distantly related to Hollywood icon Meryl Streep, a discovery she made while participating in the documentary series 'Faces of America' in 2010. During her appearance on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,' Longoria recounted her initial reluctance to approach Streep at the Golden Globes after a friend encouraged her to announce their familial connection. However, Streep surprised her by calling out 'Cousin! Cousin!' when they met, leading to a warm exchange where they complimented each other's talents and beauty. Longoria humorously noted the confusion surrounding their connection, given her Latina background compared to Streep's. They have since maintained a friendly rapport, referring to each other as 'cousin' during their time working on 'Only Murders in the Building.' Their unexpected familial bond has added a unique twist to their Hollywood narratives.
