Eva Longoria Baston "cried" over the lovely birthday messages she received

She wrote on Instagram: "Thank you all so much for all the birthday wishes!! I’m having the best day with my loved ones and getting a lot of kisses from my Santi baby! Thank you all for sending me so much love and kindness today and always! I’ve cried like 3 times today from people’s messages! #AgeIsJustANumber #ThatsWhatYouSayWhenYouGetOlder (sic)"

Eva previously admitted she "can't remember" what life was like before becoming a mother to Santiago, eight months, who she has with her husband Jose 'Pepe' Baston.

She wrote: "My sweet angel, you are 6months today and it feels like you were just born yesterday! Although I can’t remember my life without you. Your laughter melts my heart in ways you will never know. I love mi cosita preciosa! #BabyBaston #Santi #6Months (sic)"

And the 44-year-old actress recently admitted the "best part" of being a mother is seeing her little one go through every stage of his life.

She added: "The best part of being a mom is that I get to see every stage my son encounters and I think it's the best thing ever. Like the first time he giggles, I think that is the best part of being a mom. Then he goes to another stage where he rolls over, and I think that is the best. Everything he does is the best thing about being a mother! ... I'm still in ecstasy with becoming a mother and embracing every moment. He's starting to laugh now and react to people, which is really exciting and fun to watch. I have a really great group of girlfriends who are mums who have been through it and give really good advice. It's just really nice to be surrounded by that tribe of women."
