Eva’s Bonding Moments With Santiago Amid the Pandemic
In the video, Eva, who stars in "Dora and the Lost City of Gold," beams with pride as her son helps crack eggs into a bowl. The proud mom encourages her little man in Spanish, saying, "Muy bien! Gracias!" It’s evident that Eva cherishes these moments of bonding with her son, especially during these challenging times of self-isolation due to the global pandemic. Santiago, sharing a close-knit relationship with both his parents, Eva and husband José Bastón, has been lending a helping hand in the kitchen more often.
Earlier in May, Eva shared another adorable video of her and Santiago making homemade lemon sorbet. In the video, the brown-haired cutie looks all grown up as he squeezes lemons alongside his mom. These glimpses into their everyday life highlight the fun and educational activities Eva and José are incorporating into their routine with their young son.
Eva’s Journey as a Mom and Her Growing Concerns
As a first-time mom, Eva continues to learn and grow alongside her son. In an interview with Closer Weekly in November 2019, Eva revealed that motherhood has brought unexpected challenges, particularly concerning her mental health. She admitted, "The one thing I did not expect when Santi was born was the amount of anxiety I was going to have about the world. Like everything affects me now: the news, articles, climate change... and everything scares me."
Eva went on to explain how this newfound anxiety has fueled her philanthropic endeavors. "My anxiety has just gone through the roof, going, ‘Oh my God, I have a better place!’ So it’s made my philanthropic work more intense," she confessed. "It brought an insane intensity. I’m like, ‘We have to save the world! Oh my God!’ … I didn’t expect that. I was like, of course, I do charity work and I do philanthropies, but now, and it just means so much more." Eva’s dedication to creating a better world for her son is evident in her actions both personally and professionally.

"I feel there’s more pressure to raise a good man today in this world and to make sure he understands equality and feminism," she said. "But it’s not about telling him, it’s about showing him in his everyday life." Eva and her husband, José, are determined to lead by example, ensuring Santiago grows up in an environment that values and respects women.
