Eva Longoria returns to Housewives set after honeymoon

Actress is refreshed after a week alone with her husband...

Now legally a wife but hardly desperate, Eva Longoria returned to the set of Desperate Housewives Monday after a three-week wedding celebration and honeymoon.

"It was a great wedding, but it was time to come home," Longoria's rep Liza Anderson tells PEOPLE. "I got a call from her this morning (and) she was already at work. She sounded so great, really upbeat. She's completely content."

Longoria, 32, arrived at the Universal Studios lot at 7:30 a.m. fresh from her low-key honeymoon with basketball star Tony Parker, 25, to the Caribbean Island of Turks and Caicos.

The newlyweds dined over long candlelit dinners and spent their days relaxing and playing pingpong and Yahtzee.

"It was just her and Tony," says Anderson. "They had a private villa. She's completely relaxed and rejuvenated. She had a full week alone with Tony to decompress. It was the perfect balance to gear up for Season 4. So she's really excited. She wasn't dreading work at all."

The wedding marathon began with a party with family and friends in St. Tropez and a romantic excursion to France's picturesque Mont Saint-Michel. After a civil ceremony, they were married in Paris's historic Church of St. Germain l'Auzerrois in front of about 250 guests, followed by a lavish reception in a castle.

"She's happier than ever right now," says Anderson. "Life is great."
