When Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem first met on the set of Jamon Jamon, a Spanish-language film, the actors hadn’t exactly had their big breaks yet. Both were considered “rising stars” in the Hollywood world, and the success of Jamon Jamon definitely furthered their career, turning them into the superstars they are today.

However, the Disney star and Bardem wouldn’t begin dating in the early 1990s, as Cruz was just sixteen. Instead, their love story took a little while to begin, with the two starting their relationship in 2010, officially appearing as a couple during the Goya Awards that year.
