In an interview with People, the 52-year-old actress explained that no one can truly claim to know themselves completely, which is why getting to know one’s partner is also a lifelong journey.

«I feel like I’m still learning in my relationship. I’m with someone I’ve known for 33 years. Yes, I know him very well, but can anyone ever say they fully understand themselves? I don’t think so. And it’s the same with your partner», Penélope shared.

The future spouses first met in 1992 on a film set. At the time, Cruz was only 17 years old. However, romantic feelings between the two did not develop until much later – in 2008.

Bardem himself has previously emphasized that they knew each other long before global fame, red carpets, and major career successes entered their lives. According to him, having someone by your side who knows the real you is incredibly important.

Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem married in July 2010 and are raising two children together – their 15-year-old son Leo and their 12-year-old daughter Luna.

Recently, the rumors have been confirmed: paparazzi spotted the couple during a stroll in Santa Monica. Judging by the revealing photos, the lovebirds made no effort to hide their feelings in public – they held hands, hugged, and laughed together. Jackman wore a gray long-sleeve shirt, white jeans, and a dark bomber jacket, while his companion appeared in a maxi dress topped with a brown trench coat.

It is rumored that this affair might have caused Jackman’s separation from his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, after 27 years of marriage.

As a reminder, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness divorced in the fall of 2023. A few weeks later, in October of the same year, Sutton Foster also announced her split from her husband, screenwriter Ted Griffin, after 10 years of marriage.
