It would seem that actress Melanie Griffith is happy to be free following the demise of her 18-year marriage to Zorro hunk, Antonio Banderas.
At 11.35pm on Monday evening, the 58-year-old took to Instagram with a somewhat awkward message celebrating her divorce from her ex-husband.
“I filed for divorce two years ago today,” she screenshotted from her notes with the caption “June 6th, 2014 #lifeisshort #starting over #lifeisbeautiful #lovemykids #freedom.”
But despite her thankfulness to be single – made clear by her use of the prayer emoji – the mother-of-three apparently had a change of heart, and hours after its debut, it was gone.
The post was quickly deleted.
The pretty blonde and her former husband married in 1996, just one year after meeting on the set of Two Much.
18 years on, the pair announced their split with a joint statement after citing irreconcilable differences.
“We have thoughtfully and consensually decided to finalise our almost twenty years marriage in a loving and friendly manner honoring and respecting each other, our family and friends and the beautiful time we have spent together. – Melanie & Antonio,” their statement read.
Mum Melanie had her infamous Antonio tattoo covered when the pair reunited this time last year for daughter Stella’s graduation.
Fortunately, their split – unlike many other Hollywood A-listers before them – appeared to be an amicable one.
Giving the world a lesson on how to be harmonious exes, the pair reunited last year to attend their daughter Stella’s high school graduation.
“Mama, Stella and Papi. Our angel is amazing. Beginning the next chapter of her life! Freedom!!” the proud mum captioned a photo of three embracing.
“Me and my fabulous kids! Stella, Alexander, and Dakota. My joy, my heart, my life is theirs,” the 58-year-old penned on Instagram alongside this snap of her three kids, all from different marriages.
While the Spanish actor has since found love with 36-year-old investment banker Nicole Kimpel, the Working Girl star is happy working on herself and her modern family.
As well as Stella, Melanie is also the proud mother to Alexander Bauer, her son from her second marriage to Steven Bauer, while Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson is her daughter from her first marriage to Don Johnson.
