Eva Longoria has put to rest rumors that she is dating Matt Barnes as she was spotted with Eduardo Cruz aboard a private yacht in Miami.

The Desperate Housewives star was spotted cozying up with Penelope Cruz's brother and she looked happy, comfortable and relaxed (see here).

Longoria was caught up in the rumors that she was dating Matt Barnes but the actress has vehemently denied that she and the LA Laker star are dating.

Once again, press gets it wrong, matt barnes and I are not dating! We are doing a charity event together for Padres and Athletes vs Cancer. Why is the truth never the headline? Longoria tweeted.

However, the media refused to believe her as she was spotted by TMZ at Los Angeles airport and some even blamed her for causing Barnes to separate from his fiancee Gloria Govan, the mother of his twin sons.

Longoria, who has divorced with Tony Parker, was also spotted having dinner with Barnes a few weeks ago in New York and they were also seen together at a Las Vegas club last month.
