Personal Life edit
Despite of being the daughter of Bono and Ali Hewson and having grown up with all kind of possibilities, she has said: 'My parents work really hard to make sure that we don’t feel entitled. They just don’t spoil us. They want us to work for things.'[6]
Her mother once described show business life as 'tough and lonely and not what you want for your child'. But after all this time she and her husband are completely supporting their daughter's acting career. [6]
'They’re excited about it now, almost too much. They’re like obsessed parents, but it’s cute.' - said Eve.[6]
The young actrees doesn't profit of her parents wealth, she has told how she was banned from their duplex penthouse in San Remo building on Manhattan's Upper West Side.[6] Eve current home is a small apartment near NYU that she shares with a fellow undergrad. She told the Belfast Telegraph wryly in Mrach 2012, that her parents' house is out of the reach of herself and her friends.[6]
Eve is dating actor James Lafferty, “One Tree Hill” TV show's leading actor.[11] They met in 2007 while filming The 27 Club – a movie about rock stars dying young.[6]
