Erin Benavides, Linked to 2010 Tony Parker Allegations, Dies at 54

Erin Benavides, the former wife of retired NBA player Brent Barry, has died at the age of 54 in Port Aransas, Texas. Police responded to a welfare-check request on October 14, 2026, and found her dead at a home. Authorities said they believe her death was a suicide and do not suspect foul play. The investigation was still active at the time of the latest reports. Benavides drew international attention in 2010 after reports linked her to allegations involving former San Antonio Spurs player Tony Parker during his marriage to actress Eva Longoria. She denied having an affair with Parker, who also denied that the relationship was physical. Beyond the publicity, Benavides worked as a Texas prosecutor and child advocate.
