Eva Longoria's been spotted on a handful occasions getting cozy with Eduardo Cruz, the 25-year-old brother of Penelope Cruz, but Longoria's pal Mario Lopez says it's premature to describe the Spanish singer as the actress' "boyfriend."

"Well, boyfriend is a strong word," Lopez tells talks show host Wendy Williams in an interview airing Monday of Longoria, who split from basketball player Tony Parker three months ago. "I think my girl Eva is just kind of having fun, and a good time...as she should be."
And Williams approved of the casual nature of the relationship, telling her audience, "Look, she's having a good time. She's 35, he's 25, and it's all good." Responded Lopez, "Yeah, she's having a good time!"
