Speaking of her latest title, Eva stated: "It's especially awesome after how long it's been since my first cover.

"I've had a beautiful relationship with Maxim over all these years. When someone sees the cover of this issue, they're going to say, '¡Que rico!' Say it when something is really good."

As well as striking a pose for the publication, the 38-year old - who is the only lady to top the Maxim Hot 100 list twice in a row - also addressed her home life, stating: "One thing people are usually surprised about when they get to know me is how domestic I am.

"So when you see the sexy Maxim cover and then you put it against me in an apron with flour in my hair, it takes a moment to reconcile that image."
