Their marriage had its first ordeal when French model Alexandra Paressant claimed to have had an affair with Parker.In 2008, Longoria opened a restaurant in West Hollywood called Beso, which means "kiss" in Spanish. In 2009, Longoria enrolled in an Master's program in Chicano Studies and Political Science at Cal State University, Northridge.
