May 25, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Spanish actor, Javier Bardem, who won the Best Actor prize along with Elio Germano at the Cannes Film Festival dedicated it to girlfriend, Penelope Cruz. Bardem who plays the role of a terminally-ill criminal in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Biutiful for the first time showed affection to Cruz.
In his acceptance speech after receiving the award, Bardem said that he shares this joy with his friend, his companion, his love: Penelope. In his first public acknowledgement of their relationship he added that he owes and love her a lot. He then blew a kiss to Cruz, who understandably moved by the speech was seen wiping a tear from her eye.
The couple who acted together in Woody Allen’s Vicky Christina Barcelona began dating in 2007 while always maintaining a low public profile. They dismissed the reports of being engaged and refused to talk about their relationship status.
