Melanie Griffith has decided to open up about the difficulties she faced in her relationship with Antonio Banderas during the 1990s. The couple, who fell in love during the filming of the movie Two Much in 1995, experienced an intense love story.
This romance, which lasted more than two decades, was one of the most talked about in Hollywood. The couple had a daughter, Stella del Carmen, and although their marriage ended in 2015, they keep a relationship of respect and affection. Melanie Griffith confessed that her love for Antonio was as deep as it was unexpected and that the beginning of their relationship was a beautiful and exciting stage for both of them.
A love story between cameras and secret codes
Although Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith met in 1995, he had already admired Melanie years before. During the Australian show hosted by Andrew Denton, Antonio recounted that, at the beginning of their courtship, their privacy was invaded. "They tapped our phones and we had to create our own code to communicate," the actor explained.
Even though the couple suffered constant harassment from the media, their relationship grew stronger over time. Melanie even traveled by private plane to spend just one hour with Antonio in Seattle, where he was working on a movie. "We were crazy," Banderas fondly recalled.
This constant scrutiny didn't manage to extinguish the love they felt. Antonio described those years as "beautiful," and stated that despite the separation, Melanie is still an essential part of his family. The couple shared unforgettable moments and built a bond that has survived the passage of time.
