Actress Eva Longoria blames herself for the rampant speculation about her relationship status, because she has a habit of wearing her favourite piece of jewellery on her left ring finger.

The former Desperate Housewives beauty has been dating Jose 'Pepe' Antonio Baston, the president of Latin American Tv and media company Televisa, since late 2013, but she insists she has no current plans to walk down the aisle.

The 39 year old, who has already had already to dismiss marriage rumours twice in the last three months, explains, "This ring I keep putting on this finger. I always wear it here and I keep moving it. I think it's my fault. I'm misleading people."

Longoria has also laughed off reports suggesting she is expecting her first child with her beau, joking, "I think I'm pregnant with a monkey, apparently. No, I'm not pregnant."

The sexy star has been married twice before, to actor Tyler Christopher and French basketball star Tony Parker, who she divorced in 2011.

Baston is also a divorcee - the father-of-three was previously married to actress Natalia Esperon.
