Eva Longoria’s son knows who she is – but he doesn’t understand why everyone else does.

The glamorous mom was attending a Nespresso event in Cannes, France, earlier this month with her family – when her six-year-old son Santiago hilariously stole the show thanks to his adorable realization that he’s not the only one who wanted her attention.

In a clip shared online, Longoria, 50, was seen walking the red carpet and posing for photos as a sea of photographers called out her name.

Santiago watched from the sidelines when he suddenly wandered onto the carpet and asked the snappers, ‘How do you know my mom?’

‘Everybody knows my mom… stop taking pictures of her,’ the confused youngster continued, as Longoria laughed.

Fans loved the adorable moment between Longoria and her son, and the video quickly went viral, transforming little Santiago into a sensation.

‘Lmao it’s cute how protective of her he got,’ one user wrote.

‘Bless it, what a precious moment to get on camera,’ agreed another.

‘Lmfaoooo he’s so cute. He really said, “I’m tired of this every time we go out.” The kid’s had enough,’ chimed in another.

They continued: ‘It’s understandable ’cause I was annoyed when I would go shopping with my mom and she would want to look at clothes for herself if this had happened to me as a kid I would have been so pissed.’

Another praised Longoria for not exposing her son to her Hollywood life.

‘Actually, she gets Mom of the Year for keeping her boy unknowing about her fame. It’s obvious she’s trying to raise him without all the hoo-ha surrounding her celebrity,’ they praised the Desperate Housewives alum. 

Longoria and her husband José Bastón, 56,  have been married for almost a decade – first getting together in 2013, before tying the knot in May 2016 and welcoming Santiago two years later. 

Reflecting on falling for the media mogul, Eva told People in 2017: ‘It was like the cliché angels singing, and there was a glow around him, and it was immediate chemistry.

‘He was the most handsome man I’d ever seen. He was so charismatic, charming, sweet, and funny. I thought, “Who is this guy?!”

‘I want to yell from the highest mountaintop about everything that goes on with us because I’m so happy and excited to be with a person as kind as Pepe is.

‘He is probably one of the first men I’ve dated that has been older and established and, basically, a grown-up.’

Longoria was spotted several time throughout the festival with her son, looking every inch the doting mom.

Last year, she spoke about her ‘cultured son,’ explaining he travels with her often for work.

‘You know what I love is, he’s always with me when I’m working,’ she said while on the Today Show.

‘If we’re in Spain, we just all go to Spain. If we’re in Rome, we’re all in Rome. And he’s very cultured,’ the Texas native expressed.

She went on to give example of some of ‘cultured’ stuff her son has said, like, ‘Oh mom, can we have macaroons if you go to Paris?’ and, ‘We can eat jamón when we’re in Spain.’

The actress explained, ‘I just love how global he’s growing up, and understands and appreciates other cultures and other languages.’
