Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas Divorce

Melanie Griffith filed for divorce from Antonio Banderas after 18 years of marriage.

“We have thoughtfully and consensually decided to finalize our almost twenty years marriage in a loving and friendly manner honoring and respecting each other, our family and friends and the beautiful time we have spent together,” the actors said in a statement, People reports.

Melanie and Antonio met in 1995 while working on Two Much. They married in 1996, months after she divorced Don Johnson for the second time and he divorced Ana Leza. They have a 17-year-old daughter, Stella. According to the divorce filing, Melanie seeks sole physical custody of Stella and spousal support from Antonio.

Antonio supported Melanie through her time in rehab five years ago and said that seeing her strength made him love her even more. He later told AARP: The Magazine they “have had as many problems as anybody,” but were working through it all.
