Oscar-winning Spanish filmstars Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem wed in the beginning of July at an intimate ceremony in the Bahamas, the actress’ publicist told AFP on Wednesday.
The couple “were married in the beginning of July at a friend’s house in the Bahamas. It was a small ceremony with just family members. Penelope wore a dress designed by her long-time friend John Galliano,” Amanda Silverman said.
Cruz, 36, and Bardem, 41, met when they starred opposite each other as lusty teens in Bigas Luna’s film Jamon, Jamon, back in 1992.
In 2008 they were back together on the silver screen in Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona, for which Cruz won an Academy Award as best supporting actress. Bardem, nominated for an Oscar in Before Night Falls (2000), won an Academy Award in 2007 for his role in No Country for Old Men. Though the couple have kept their romance quiet for years, Bardem got personal when he won a best actor award at Cannes in May for his work in Biutiful by Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu.
