“I sang at Eva [Longoria]’s wedding last May. I saw Felicity [Huffman], what was it, two years ago already at the Emmys? And Teri Hatcher came to my wedding!” Vanessa — who married third husband Jim Skrip in 2015 — told Closer at the NYC premiere of her newest show, Daytime Divas.

“I haven’t seen Marcia [Cross], she’s the only one that I haven’t seen,” she added.

During a recent interview, Vanessa’s close friend Eva, 42, similarly gushed it would “take nothing” for her to star in a Desperate Housewives reboot! “I would jump at the chance to play Gaby Solis again, I miss her! I miss her skin and I miss being in her skin,” she said.
