Antonio Banderas's girlfriend doesn't usually make statements, but this time she has acknowledged something important

Nicole Kimpel has reappeared after weeks of mystery during which her public absence had sparked numerous rumors. The German-born businesswoman has been seen again in Spain, unexpectedly confirming her current situation with Antonio Banderas. She did so with a simple yet conclusive phrase: "We're on vacation."

The couple have been seen in Marbella, a city where they've lived for years and where they're currently enjoying a few days of relaxation. Amid speculation about a possible separation, this joint appearance has dispelled any doubts. Nicole herself has made sure to emphasize that everything remains in order with the Málaga-born actor.

Many had noticed her disappearance from public life in recent months. Since construction began on the new mansion, he has continued with his professional schedule, while she has kept a low profile. This discretion had given rise to conjectures that now seem unfounded.

Nicole's statement was brief, but it had a powerful effect on the media environment. Although she was asked about other topics, such as Banderas's daughter's desired wedding, Kimpel didn't want to offer more details. With a smile, she insisted that they're simply resting and that she wouldn't speak further for now.

Meanwhile, Antonio Banderas continues to supervise the construction of his new home on the Costa del Sol. The house, whose exact location is kept secret, will be one of the key settings in this new personal stage for the actor. Everything suggests that the property will be finished before the fall, coinciding with a major family event.

The Banderas family is experiencing a particularly significant moment. Stella del Carmen, daughter of the actor and American actress Melanie Griffith, is preparing her wedding with her fiancé, Alex Gruszynski. The young woman is organizing the ceremony, scheduled for October this year.

The event will be held in Spain, although the exact location hasn't been revealed yet. The couple, who share a long personal history, met during their childhood at Wagon Wheel School in Los Angeles. Years later, in August 2024, they decided to take the final step with a romantic proposal.

Since the engagement, both Stella and her parents have kept a low profile regarding the preparations. Although Antonio Banderas has spoken to the media on different occasions, he has always avoided making comments about his daughter's wedding. Nicole has followed the same strategy of discretion, politely avoiding questions and not going into details.

Recently, media attention had focused on the apparent distance between Nicole and the actor. The lack of joint images and the limited activity on social media fueled speculation. However, their recent getaway to Marbella has been interpreted as an implicit response to all those rumors.

It's not just a vacation. The couple are showing, with actions more than words, that their bond remains strong. Although they prefer to keep their privacy, this gesture has been enough to put an end to the doubts.

Moreover, this trip comes at a key moment for both. On one hand, Antonio is fully engaged in his new business projects and in the house he's building. On the other, Nicole has chosen to stay out of the public eye, prioritizing calm before the commotion that the wedding may bring.

The relationship between Stella and Alex is another focus of interest in this family environment. Although away from the media, both have been seen on different occasions during their visits to Spain. The whole family seems committed to making sure everything goes perfectly for the big day.

It's still unknown whether Antonio will play any special role during the ceremony. It's also not confirmed whether Nicole will have any prominence at the event or if the couple will opt for a smaller format. What does seem clear is that everyone wants the event to be held with maximum privacy.

For now, clues are scarce and statements even more so. What has become clear with this latest public appearance is that the family is united and spending time together. Far from rumors, the atmosphere is one of tranquility and closeness.

Nicole's phrase, "we're on vacation," has been enough to silence the most persistent comments. Far from drama or formal statements, it was a natural and spontaneous response. Above all, very revealing.
