Penelope Cruz

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem have been together and apart repeatedly for the past 20 years. But now it appears as if they are together for good, because celebrity spies have reported that the two are engaged to be married. Cruz was also seen exiting the office of an OBGYN in Madrid, fueling rumors that she is expecting. Other rumors are that the engagement was made to appease Cruz’s Catholic parents assuming she is with child.

A “friend” of Cruz and Bardem have said, according to the NY Daily News, that the two are telling friends they will get married. Nobody will confirm whether the couple are having a child. One of the interesting influences on this couple is that their relationship has been interwoven with their careers. The two first met when Penelope was 16 and Javier was 21 when both were working on a film called Jamon Jamon. Though Cruz put an end to the relationship after the movie wrapped, the two were back together by 1997, when they worked together on the movie Live Flesh. In 2008’s Woody Allen film Vicky Cristina Barcelona, the pair’s on-screen chemistry was a large part of what made the movie so appealing.

While she may have one of the hottest boyfriends on the planet, actress isn’t interested in marrying Spanish actor Javier Bardem. It isn’t personal, she just doesn’t believe a piece of paper is necessary for two people to be committed to one another. However, according to contactmusic.com, Cruz would like to have children someday. Said Cruz, “I don’t know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.”

The Oscar winner also recently revealed that she finds the making of movies to be very stressful. “Every time I make a film, I feel like it’s my first time… I always think they could fire me. I’ve ruined my own happiness and created problems with my friends because of this tendency. It takes discipline for me to stop worrying,” she recently told British magazine Psychologies.

In October, the Spanish beauty will team up with Liz Swig and Donatella Versace to host the Annual Whitney’s Gala and Studio Party in New York. It  will promote a program called Art Unites that provides children in the U.S. and China with supplies for the creation of visual art through two foundations: Starlight, for seriously ill children, and One Foundation, for children affected by last year’s China earthquakes. Each of the paintings created by the children involved will by made into a one-of-a-kind Versace tote bag that will sell at Versace boutiques, with 100% of the proceeds donated to the two children’s charities.
