Mark Sanchez appears to be doing well off the football field as Eva Longoria confirmed on Thursday that they were both dating.

Mario Lopez, the "Extra" host, asked Longoria about the recent gossip that the TV star was seen with Sanchez. She proceeded to call Lopez an "a--hole" and added, "Mark and I are you know, fine. We're happy just dating."

Longoria, 37, is a few years older than Mark Sanchez as the Jets' QB is only 25 years old. As the saying goes, age is nothing but a number. 

Longoria apparently has a thing for sports figures as she was married to San Antonio Spurs' guard Tony Parker, but the two divorced not too long after getting hitched. 

For Sanchez, having this out in the public brings stability with the media as far as relationships are concerned.  The quarterback was accused of having an alleged rendezvous with a 17-year-old Eliza Kruger over the offseason. 

When Eva Longoria says you are dating her, people are surely to forget any rumors about Sanchez accused of being with a minor. 

So far, the 2012 season has started with the quarterback playing well as he and the Jets torched the Buffalo Bills 48-28. He is winning on the field and winning with women.
