The Latin actor is also obliged to pay his former wife $65,000 monthly in spousal support, until Griffith remarries or either of them pass away.

Before marrying Banderas, Griffith had been married three times - twice to Don Johnson, whom she has a daughter with - "Fifty Shades of Grey" star Dakota Johnson.

Griffith and Banderas met on the set of the 1995 flick "Two Much." While their romance developed, Banderas was already married to his previous wife, Ana Leza. After divorcing Ana Leza in April 1996, Banderas wed Griffith in a private ceremony in London. Griffith and Banderas have been together for 18 years and have a daughter Stella del Carmen Banderas.

Griffith and Banderas announced their intention to divorce in June 2014 due to "irreconcilable differences." Despite the announcement, Banderas stated that he will always love his former wife.

"I really admire Melanie as an actress, I have always said that. I have a big respect for her in her career, for that reason she is in the film ("Automate"). She is a person that I loved, I love and I always will love, whatever our status is," Banderas said.
