Eva Longoria was “deeply concerned” about ex-husband Tyler Christopher just weeks before he suddenly passed away at 50 years old, RadarOnline.com can report.
In a heartbreaking development to come after the General Hospital star passed away on Tuesday in San Diego following a suspected “cardiac event,” remarks Longoria made in July resurfaced.
The "General Hospital" star passed away on Tuesday in San Diego following a suspected “cardiac event."
According to sources close to the Desperate Housewives actress, Longoria was “deeply concerned” about her ex-husband after he was arrested in May for public intoxication.
Christopher was arrested on May 26 at the Hollywood Burbank Airport after he fell asleep on the ground due to an alleged high alcohol consumption.
Police at the time said that the former soap star was “unable to care for himself.”
After his arrest, Longoria’s close friend said that the actress could hardly recognize her ex-husband. The pair were married from 2002 to 2004.
Christopher was arrested in 2019 and again earlier this year for public intoxication.
But while Longoria “could hardly recognize” Christopher, she also reportedly offered to help her ex amid his drinking troubles – including offering to pay for him to go to rehab.
“She would give Tyler any help he needs,” a source close to Longoria said in July. "Including paying for a trip to rehab."
Another source said that having support "meant a lot to Tyler” and that he “needed a friend” at the time.
The late soap star was arrested for public intoxication again in 2019 in Indiana and spent his 47th birthday behind bars.
Longoria offered to pay for her ex-husband to check into rehab.
Police were called by an Uber driver who drove Christopher home during that incident, and the actor had allegedly passed out and urinated on himself.
He reportedly suffered from both bipolar disorder and alcoholism in the years leading up to his death.
