Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas

After two decades of being together, Melanie and Antonio publicly announced their separation and subsequent divorce in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The former couple revealed that their loving and amicable breakup resulted from long-standing issues in their marriage, which had been exacerbated by Antonio’s frequent work-related travel over the years.

Since their breakup, Melanie and Antonio have gone their separate ways. Antonio began dating Nicole Kempel, while Melanie decided to take a break from the institution of marriage. Despite the end of their romantic relationship, they have expressed their enduring love for each other, albeit from a distance, without the “marriage” label attached.
