Antonio Banderas is now 64, and over the course of his life, he has cemented his name in cinematic history. From donning the mysterious mask of Zorro to playing the spy dad in Spy Kids and the legendary guitar-wielding hitman in Desperado, his roles have become iconic.

Currently, Antonio enjoys the freedom of single life, focusing his energy on creativity and self-growth. He’s been married twice, and both times, his relationships were fiery and full of passion.

His love story with Ana was one for the books—young, wild, and passionate. Antonio would write her poetry and serenade her under her window. Their whirlwind romance led them to marry in 1988. However, as fame came knocking, so did the demands of his career. Antonio’s frequent trips and long hours on set caused strain in their relationship, leading to a breakup in the world of celebrity.

Antonio met Melanie on a film set, and what started as a spark soon turned into something deeper. In 1996, they were married, and their union lasted 18 years. After a rather unpleasant scandal, the couple filed for divorce in 2014, though it wasn’t finalized until the end of 2015.

Melanie, now 67, has seen her personal life slowly drift away from the public spotlight.
