Which Spanish actor did actress Penélope Cruz marry in 2010?

Actress Penélope Cruz married Spanish actor Javier Bardem in 2010.

Cruz and Bardem married in July 2010 in a private ceremony at a friend’s home in the Bahamas. Both actors are Spanish and have built internationally successful careers in Spanish-language and English-language cinema.

They had previously appeared together in Jamón, jamón, the 1992 Spanish film directed by Bigas Luna. They later worked together in the 2008 film Vicky Cristina Barcelona, for which Cruz won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.

The couple have two children. Cruz is known for films such as Volver, Vanilla Sky and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Bardem has appeared in No Country for Old Men, Skyfall and Dune. The pair are sometimes confused with other famous Spanish film partnerships, particularly Cruz’s professional collaborations with director Pedro Almodóvar, who has directed her in several films but is not her spouse.
