Longoria later said she had been anxious about taking him on such a long flight. He slept through it. She also took him to the zoo while they were there, though she said he was too young to remember any of it.<\/p>\n<p>By the time he was 3 months old, he was boarding another flight, this one to San Antonio. A flight attendant had noticed the pattern. \u201cThat baby has platinum status,\u201d Longoria recalled in a 2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/parade.com\/celebrities\/eva-longoria-parade-cover-story\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parade<\/a> interview. \u201cHe gets a free drink coupon if he wants it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By February 2019, Santiago was 7 months old. Longoria brought him to the set of <em>Grand Hotel<\/em>, the ABC drama she was producing and directing. \u201cWhen I was directing, I had just had Santi and I was breastfeeding as I was saying action and running around,\u201d she told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/eva-longoria-talks-breastfeeding-her-son-santiago-while-on-the-grand-hotel-set-exclusive-118982\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Entertainment Tonight<\/a> at the Television Critics Association press tour.<\/p>\n<p>Longoria had returned to directing when Santiago was 7 weeks old. She initially thought working behind the camera would make the return easier. \u201cThis will be easy because I\u2019m not in front of the camera!\u201d she recalled to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/750602\/grand-hotel-season-1-eva-longoria-kristoff-st-john\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TV Insider<\/a>. Once she was doing it, her assessment was shorter: \u201cThis is worse!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When <em>Grand Hotel<\/em> premiered in June 2019, Longoria also posted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/eva-longoria-is-changing-hollywood-next-step-the-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">photos<\/a> of herself breastfeeding Santiago while directing and thanked the crew and cast for supporting both her new motherhood and her career.<\/p>\n<p>Acting in the series created another problem. Longoria recalled directing and producing when somebody reminded her that she needed to go to hair and makeup. \u201cOh! I forgot!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Later, she was filming a scene with Roselyn S\u00e1nchez and found herself waiting because nobody had called action or cut. \u201cOh! Somebody should say action, somebody should say cut,\u201d Longoria recalled. Then she realized why nobody had. \u201cIt was me. I\u2019m supposed to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In August 2019, Santiago was beside Longoria again during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hola.com\/us\/celebrities\/2019080226614\/eva-longoria-santiago-baston-work-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Dora<\/em> press day<\/a>.

Thank you,\u201d Longoria wrote. Santiago stayed with her through the interviews.<\/p>\n<p>Longoria also used the day to salute other working mothers, saying the juggling was hard and giving them credit for getting through it.<\/p>\n<h2>Santiago Made His Red Carpet Debut in Paris<\/h2>\n<p>Five years later, Santiago joined Longoria at the Global Gift Gala in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hola.com\/us\/celebrities\/20241007722751\/eva-longoria-hold-hands-with-her-6-year-old-son-santiago-while-attending-the-global-gift-gala\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paris<\/a>.
