It has been announced by The Hollywood Reporter via E! that Ms. Cruz and Javier Bardem are now MARRIED! Our warmest Congratulations to the lovely, beautiful, and amazing couple!

Oscar-winning actors Javier Bardem, 41, and Penelope Cruz, 36, tied the knot earlier this month, Cruz’s rep confirmed to E! News. Say what?!

The small wedding, which was only attended by family members, took place at a friend’s home in the Bahamas.

The “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” co-stars began dating in 2007. Prior to that, Cruz was linked to Matthew McConaughey and Tom Cruise.

Bardem’s next flick is the Ryan Murphy-helmed “Eat Pray Love.” At yesterday’s event at the WGA honoring the writers of “Glee,” Murphy semi-confirmed that Bardem will be appearing in the upcoming season of the hit Fox show. [Source]

YAY!

This will be one of those rare times where I cover Penélope’s personal life because I think its just that personal and private. But I adore these two and this is really beautiful. This event took place back in late May at the Cannes Film Festival.

Javier Bardem won the best actor award at Cannes for his work in the movie Biutiful.

Now, on to the mushy stuff.

Javier publicly declared his love for Penélope Cruz for the first time when he accepted the award!

He said:

“I share this joy with my friend, my companion, my love, Penelope. I owe you a lot and I love you so much.” [Source]

So beautiful now make sure you click the Source to see two photos – one of Pe and the other of Javier.

So happy for her and she deserves this high honor! This was announced last month (sorry I didn’t have it up before…)
