UPDATED MAY 13, 2019 11:32 AM EDT

Eva Longoria has no problem breaking this rule when it comes to her ten-month-old son. The Grand Hotel actress initially insisted on not showing little Santiago off on social media, but that plan went out of the window as soon as he was born. “It’s so funny because before he was born my husband and I said, ‘we’re not going to post too much,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “’We’re going to keep that life private.’ And every day I’m like ‘I have to post this. This is so cute.’” Adding: “Yeah, that totally went out the window. It’s no longer my Instagram.”

 The Latina Powerhouse joked that her Instagram no longer belongs to her 

"I'm always traveling with him. I'm actually going to be in Cannes this year with him on Mother's Day, so he'll be with me and I'll be hogging him all to myself. That's my gift. Just to be able to spend time with him." In light of all of the special moments, the Dora and the Lost City of Gold star has one simple request. “Diamonds.”
