Antonio Banderas has spoken publicly about his relationship with his ex-wife, Melanie Griffith, more than ten years after their divorce, according to Infobae. The Spanish actor described their current dynamic as close friends, noting that they share a strong connection built on honesty.
Infobae reports that Banderas reflected on the pair's history, stating that sincerity has defined their relationship both during their marriage and after their separation. He also mentioned that the two continue to enjoy each other's company, saying they have a lot of fun together, as reported by La Nación.
The couple married in 1996 and divorced in 2014. In a separate interview covered by Lecturas, Griffith took responsibility for the marriage's end, saying the relationship fell apart because she felt stuck and that no one else was to blame. Despite the split, multiple outlets, including Yahoo en Español, have noted that the former spouses remain "best friends" eleven years after their divorce.
According to EL PAÍS, Banderas has explicitly referred to Griffith as his best friend, emphasizing that they have always been very open with one another, both as a couple and after going their separate ways. Their continued closeness stands out as an example of a celebrity divorce that did not lead to estrangement.
The actor's recent comments offer a rare glimpse into how the two have maintained their bond over the years. Observers may watch to see whether either will share more details about their ongoing friendship in future interviews.
