A few years after his divorce from Melanie Griffith, Antonio Banderas [1] is opening up about his unending love [2] for her. In a recent interview with People, the 57-year-old actor implied that his divorce has not diminished his affection for the 60-year-old actress. "Even if we are divorced, she is my family and I will love her until the day I die," he said. "We have been in contact all these years and we managed to do a separation that is very elegant."
Antonio and Melanie met and began dating after filming Two Much in 1995. They married the following year and share a 21-year-old daughter together, Stella del Carmen Banderas, in addition to Melanie's two children from previous marriages, Dakota Johnson [3] and Alexander Griffith Bauer.
Following their split in 2014 [4], Antonio said, they have maintained a healthy coparent relationship. "Our kids are enjoying that and that is very important for both of us," Antonio said, adding, "Our kids are priority number one."
