Antonio Banderas has opened up about the friendship he has with ex-wife, Melanie Griffith. The stars first met in 1989 but didn't become an item until 1995. They married in 1996 and had a daughter, Stella Banderas. They split in 2014, with Griffith, now 68, filing for divorce from Banderas, now 65. Their divorce was finalised in December 2015. There is no bad blood between the pair though. Banderas has told how Griffith is "if not my best friend, one of my best friends."
