Eva Longoria's estranged husband Tony Parker has allegedly been sending sex texts to a beautiful British model.

The basketball ace also sent Sophia Egeler, 19, a barrage of messages, including a semi-naked photo of himself, in which he begged to meet up with her.

Sophia told The Sun newspaper: "From the minute he met me he was trying it on. I had no idea he was Eva Longoria's husband. He would not take no for an answer and was telling me how much he liked me."

Devastated Eva, 35, filed for divorce last week citing "irreconcilable differences" amid rumours she found a series of texts to other women on the NBA star's phone which reportedly included Erin Barry, the wife of his former teammate Brent Barry.

Tony met Sophia at an Ultimate Fighting show in London and afterwards persuaded her to join him at London nightspot Whisky Mist with Arsenal soccer player Bacary Sagna.

She revealed: "I decided at 1am I wanted to leave but Parker followed me into the street. He begged me to come back to a house he claimed was his. I said no."

After getting her number from a friend, Tony, 28, began sending her text messages including a semi-naked photo of himself and another one saying he was coming to Brighton to see her. The following day he sent her a text saying he had arrived in the seaside town.

Sophia - who didn't get the text because she was out with pals - said the messages stopped last week when news of his impending divorce to Eva broke.

After filing legal separation papers last Wednesday (17.11.10), Eva wrote on twitter: "It is with great sadness that after 7 years together, Tony and I have decided to divorce. We love each other deeply and pray for each other's happiness."

Tony filed his own divorce papers in Bexar County, Texas, on Friday (19.11.10).
