Eva Longoria knows marriage can be tough, but she was startled to hear what a Desperate Housewives co-star had to say on the subject.

Longoria, who split in 2010 from husband Tony Parker, was promoting her ABC television show with other cast members at a Television Critics Association meeting.

Felicity Huffman, discussing her character's marital woes on Desperate Housewives, claimed that 60% of first marriages and 80% of second unions end in divorce. Huffman didn't cite a source for the percentages.

Longoria, with exaggerated panic, responded: "It gets higher?"

Then she looked on the bright side, suggesting the third time would be the charm.

Desperate Housewives will end its eight-year run this season on ABC.
