The lovers, despite the 19-year-old age difference, get on very well, and the recent heart attack and the operation that the actor suffered this winter was a real test for their relationship, showing Miss Kempel only on the best side.

With the approval of the former

As the close friend of Banderas told journalists, before falling to the girl on one knee and giving the ring, the actor introduced her to his ex-wife Melanie Griffith, the mother of his only daughter Stella, whom he had lived with for 18 years. Nicole and Melanie found a common language, which was very pleased with Antonio.

Divorce two stars in 2014 could not be called easy, but for the sake of their common daughter, they could become friends.

Let's add, Banderas and Kempel got acquainted immediately after his parting with Griffith. Evil tongues claimed that it was the affair with the young Dutch that became the last straw that destroyed his union with his wife. The actor did not keep silent, calling these accusations nonsense, specifying that he met Nicole after he left, but not officially divorced from Melanie.
