Here’s a reworded version that keeps the meaning, quotes, dates, and paragraph structure intact:
Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem have been married for more than 15 years, but the actress says she’s still discovering new things about their relationship.
While speaking with PEOPLE to promote her upcoming movie, The Invite, Cruz reflected on their lasting marriage.
“I feel like I’m still learning [in my relationship], you know?’ Cruz said. “And I am with somebody that I’ve known for 33 years. I really know that person, but it’s like, is there a day when you really get to know yourself? No. So the same with your partner.”
The Hollywood stars first crossed paths while filming the 1992 movie Jamón Jamón. Looking back on that time in an interview with GQ, Bardem acknowledged the undeniable chemistry between them but stressed that “nothing happened.”
He later shared that their romance finally began when they reunited to film Vicky Cristina Barcelona in 2008.
“I don’t know if we were shy or trying to be too professional. Anyway, it got to the very last day of filming, and nothing had happened. So I thought, ‘Fuck! We better get drunk!’“ he said. “Luckily, a friend of ours threw a wrap party and, well, the rest is history. Thank God!”
