Which actress did actor Javier Bardem marry in 2010?

The story behind the answer

Actor Javier Bardem married actress Penélope Cruz in 2010.

Bardem and Cruz married in July 2010 in a private ceremony at a friend’s home in the Bahamas. Both are Spanish actors who built internationally successful careers, making their marriage one of the best-known partnerships in Spanish and global cinema.

They first worked together in the Spanish film Jamón, jamón, released in 1992, but did not begin a romantic relationship at that time. They later reunited as co-stars in Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona, released in 2008, which preceded their marriage.

Cruz and Bardem have two children and generally keep their family life away from publicity. Bardem won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for No Country for Old Men, while Cruz became the first Spanish actress to win an Academy Award, for Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
