Eva Longoria, the star of “Desperate Housewives”, has been banned from having children by the show’s bosses.

Longoria recently married basketball star Tony Parker but will have to wait at least a year before they can think of having children, reports mirror.co.uk.

The show’s creator Marc Cherry doesn’t want to go through the same complications as when Longoria’s co-star Marcia Cross got pregnant.

Longoria said: “Marc’s not kidding because he maps the year out and really knows the storyline. When Marcia became pregnant it was unexpected and it was hard for him to write around.

Tony and I are excited about starting a family, but because Marc has forbidden me to get pregnant this year we’re going to spend time as a married couple and build a solid foundation together before we bring our child into the world.”
