Antonio Banderas Wife Melanie Griffith Happily Single After Divorce: New Girlfriend Nicole Kempel Dating Confirmed [SPLIT NEWS]

Antonia Banderas has confirmed that he and new girlfriend Nicole Kempel are officially an item, but claims that they are still just getting to know each other. According to the latest gossip news updates, his soon-to-be ex-wife, Melanie Griffith, on the other hand is happily single as she prepares for their impending divorce. The Crazy in Alabama actress insists that she has nothing left to do but have fun now that her kids are almost grown and she's on her own once again. While rumors that the 54-year-old Zorro started dating the Danish investment banker shortly after his split to Melanie was announced, it is being reported that Nicole had nothing to do with their decison to end their 17-year marriage.

Antonio Banderas has confirmed that he is no longer on the dating market per se, as the Zorro actor has admitted that he is seeing Danish investment banker, Nicole Kempel, exclusively.

After being seen with the leggy blonde on his arm at an award ceremony in Spain, the 54-year-old action star told the Olive Press that Kempel was his new girlfriend, but they were still in the earliest stages of being couple:

"We are in the process of getting to know each other.

"She is shy and doesn't have anything to do with my work, which is no bad thing."

Despite the auspicious timing of Antonio and Nicole's finding each other the Daily Mail reports that their relationship had nothing to do with his divorce.

Regardless of whether or not Antonio and Nicole had anything to do with the split or not, Melanie Griffith seems happy to be moving on with her life.

The 57-year-old Hollywood icon told the IndieWire that she was looking forward to all the fun she was going to have now that she wasn't going to be tied to Antonio any longer (via Hello!):

"It's not about my career now.

"It's just about finding great work and having a good time.

"My kids are almost grown...[and] I'm getting divorced."

Now let's see if everyone is still so happy when it comes time to divide their combined net worth after 17-years of marriage and movies.
