Eva, 32, said: "I actually completely adopted the new name and I love it - I'm a Parker now! I love every bit of it - I like the tradition of changing the name. I've been getting used to being called Mrs. Parker for a while now, it's really nice to hear. Especially in Texas, everyone is really respectful there."

Asked if there was any chance of her becoming a parent in the near future, Eva said: "Not for me, and not for Gabrielle."
