During his divorce proceedings with Melanie Griffith, Antonio Banderas began dating German financier Nicole Kempel. Many doubted their relationship’s longevity due to their more than 20-year age gap. However, the couple is now approaching a decade together, spending all their free time with each other. Recently, Banderas posted a photo with Nicole on his blog, captioned, “There are moments that will stand the test of time. Nicole and I.”

Banderas’s blog, which boasts over 3.9 million followers, was filled with supportive comments from fans: “So beautiful! Greetings from Greece,” “I’m crazy about you! I wish you all the best!” “Beautiful and tanned,” “Lovely couple,” “I’m sure you stop time together,” “What a beautiful couple, God bless you,” “How happy, Nicole,” and “So beautiful. Hot couple.”

Antonio Banderas, previously married twice, is in no hurry to remarry. “I’m sort of married. Nicole is my wife, I am her husband, and we get along great,” he said. Nicole has even changed her name to “Nicole Banderas” on social media, although no official marriage announcements have been made. The couple lived in multiple countries, traveling between England, Spain, and the United States, before finally settling in Banderas’s hometown of Malaga in Andalusia, Spain.

Antonio and Nicole met at a party during the Cannes Film Festival, where Banderas first encountered Kempel’s twin sister. “Suddenly Nicole appeared, and my heart started pounding. They look identical, but I saw something in Nicole that captivated me,” he shared.

In 2017, Banderas had a heart attack, and he believes Nicole was his guardian angel. “When I started experiencing symptoms, she immediately understood what was happening. Nicole put an aspirin under my tongue, and it saved my life. I got a second chance, and since then, something in my life has changed,” Banderas recalled. He emphasized that after his experience, many things he once considered important lost their significance. For him, the only things that truly matter are his daughter Stella, friends, and family.
