The `Desperate Housewives` star - who split from husband Tony Parker last year after three years of marriage - would love to start a family one day as being a mother is something she`s always wanted.

The 36-year-old beauty said: "I want to have kids and be a mom."

Since splitting from Tony, Eva has started dating Penelope Cruz`s younger brother Eduardo Cruz and even though she is in a relationship, Eva admits she`s not very good when it comes to dating.

She told the `Rachael Ray Show`: "I`m not very approachable. I`m not good with dating, I get really nervous. It`s probably strange that I`ve never been a dater. I`ve been married or in a relationship, and so this is going to be, you know, scary."

Eva also revealed how she has enjoyed rediscovering herself since divorcing Tony in January.

She said: "Finding myself again outside of somebody else has been not even challenging - it`s been fun. It`s been like, here we go!"
