The actress has led a very private life since welcoming daughters Amada Lee, six, and Esmeralda Amada, seven, and not only has she kept away from the public eye, but from the big screen too.
The star’s last film credit was in a 2014 film titled Lost River, in which she starred alongside Saoirse Ronan and Christina Hendricks. She has only made an all too brief comeback in 2021 when she voiced a yoga instructor for one episode of an animated children’s show – until now.

Eva took to Instagram to reveal that she is back and better than ever, starring in an episode of a sketch comedy show by Shannon Plumb titled Chopped Liver.
The Hitch actress shared a video montage of the hilarious episode, where she takes on a variety of kooky characters, from pageant queen to housekeeper and even what appears to be a mock Gen-Z’er, all up to all sorts of different shenanigans.
“I’m so excited to be a part of this episode of CHOPPED LIVER !!!” she wrote in her caption, calling the comedy show’s creator her “favorite beautiful clown.”
Eva’s episode of the comedy show is available on Youtube
Meanwhile, her beau is just as busy with his highly-anticipated projects, and while he sure must be enjoying promoting the releases, he can’t help but focus on his girls.

In an interview with heat magazine, the actor opened up about how his daughters influenced his involvement in The Gray Man.
Regé-Jean Page and Ana de Armas are also in the action film by Netflix
He adorably admitted: “I’m like a dad first, and part of the reason for doing the film was this opportunity for us to go to these interesting places and be there with my kids.”
He also revealed that while his daughters haven’t necessarily seen their dad’s acting, his upcoming portrayal of Ken is a way for him to introduce that side to them. He said: “[It’s] not necessarily like I’m making it for them, but it’s the first time I think they kind of are understanding [it].”
The Strictly Come Dancing couple are spending Christmas apart, with Dianne Buswell in Australia and Joe Sugg in England
Joe Sugg and Dianne Buswell might be thousands of miles apart this Christmas, but they are still very much on each other’s minds.
Whilst the Strictly Come Dancing pro partner has been gushing about reuniting with her parents, her brothers and her nieces, and hitting the beach, Joe has returned to Somerset to spend time with friends and family.
The 31-year-old has been documenting his “wonderful trip to the shire” and couldn’t help but send girlfriend Dianne a hidden message.

LATEST: Why Dianne Buswell and Joe Sugg are celebrating Christmas apart
Whilst gushing about his stay “at the amazing Court Farm”, a lovingly restored 16th Century farmhouse in Somerset, Joe sent Dianne a décor hint, revealing: “I kinda want our house to look like this!“
Joe has travelled to Somerset to see family and friends
The gorgeous bedroom, as shown in a photo posted on his Instagram Stories, boasts a superking bed under a vintage chandelier, with an authentic barn door which opens onto a bathroom with both a huge walk-in shower and contemporary roll top bath.
Joe also praised the log burner, keeping him warm during his stay. “You cannot beat a good log burner this time of year,” he wrote.
The couple fell in love whilst taking part on Strictly Come Dancing
The theme would no doubt work well in Joe and Dianne’s country home in Sussex. The couple met on Strictly in 2018 and swapped their London flat for their first home together complete with a beautiful garden boasting uninterrupted country views.
Joe went on to reveal to his followers that he was visiting Lacock, a village in the county of Wiltshire.
“Forever grateful for this beautiful village where I grew up,” he said.
He then visited The Lacock Bakery and showed its gorgeous window display, which featured a copy of his book, Grow: How Nature Can Restore Balance in a Busy World.
“I used to go to this bakery as a toddler in my pushchair and now look! I left a special message in this book,” he remarked.

World News Tonight anchor David Muir has fans wondering if he’s found love
ABC star David Muir has long kept fans guessing about his personal life, refusing to share details online or across social media sites like many of his colleagues. But fans do know that David is still on the market and he’s not married, although it remains unclear if he is even dating.
Exclusive: Amy Robach’s ‘deceptive’ interview with Andrew Shue and T.J. Holmes revealed
In fact, as the video below explains, despite being connected to several other high profile TV personalities, there’s only one certain someone who does take up David’s time…
Despite numerous reports of romance for the World News Tonight anchor, David has always refused to publicly address his love life, but has been vocal about a number of leading ladies who he holds dear to his heart.
Kelly Ripa is one of those special people, so much so that the Live with Kelly and Ryan star paid a heartfelt tribute to David in her book, Live Wire.

An extract from the book – which is released on 27 September – was posted on Kelly’s Instagram Stories over the weekend, and the message is included on a page of acknowledgements.
It read: “To David Muir, you are the backbone and moral compass I need sometimes.”
Kelly and David have been close friends for years
His fellow ABC star, Amy Robach, is also a firm favorite of David’s and they have been known to spend time together both on and off-screen.
His sister, Rebecca, is close with David and he calls his many nieces and nephews his “squad,” and says he’s incredibly proud of all of them.
At home, it’s his beloved gun dog, Axel, who has his heart, as he regularly shares adorable photos with the pup, who he is clearly besotted with.
That’s not to say he hasn’t had his fair share of marriage proposals though! Not a day goes by when he isn’t flooded with compliments from his adoring fans on social media.
But alas, the dedicated journalist is practically married to his job, leaving little time for love!

The TV star, who has been a part of Today for over 25 years, was admitted to the hospital shortly after Thanksgiving due to blood clots and remained hospitalized for over two weeks.
Al, who has taken an absence from the show ever since, gave an update to viewers from home last week. “It has been a tough slog. I’m not going to lie. It has been the hardest one yet and I’ve had my share of surgeries.
He continued: “I have a lot of things and people to be thankful for. It gives you a profound sense of gratitude for this outpouring of prayers and thanks.”
