The twice-married Latina, who recently became engaged to Mexican businessman Jose 'Pepe' Baston, said she was smitten with Martin as a kid and had posters of the singer all over her bedroom wall, reported Contactmusic.
"Ricky Martin was my first crush growing up. When I met him, I was like, 'You don't understand, I loved you so much growing up!'" Longoria, 40, said.
Martin has since 'come out' about his sexuality, so Longoria realises any thoughts about a romance with him were pointless.
