Eva Longoria confirms she is dating Mark Sanchez

While some people are denying relationships with NFL players, others are coming clean.

Actress Eva Longoria admitted during an interview with her pal Mario Lopez on “Extra” that she is dating Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez.

Longoria called Lopez an “a–hole” for putting her on the spot by showing the New York Post cover detailing the story that the two were dating. Instead of denying matters, Longoria admitted the truth.

“Mark and I are, you know, fine,” she said. “We’re happy just dating.”

Sounds to me like it’s an open relationship — which should be perfect for each of them.

So there you have it, Jets fans. If Sanchez rips it up this season (unlikely), you can call Longoria the savior. If he stinks (as we’re expecting), you can call her the Jets’ version of Jessica Simpson.

Below is Longoria’s interview with Lopez, in case you’re inclined to watch:
