The pair were often spotted on the slopes at Aspen and Banderas has spoken of his attachement to the area. “Part of me would love to live here full time,” he said in an interview with AspenPeak magazine.

“Aspen has given me so much in terms of personal time, family time, and time to get deeper about who I am and who I want to be.”

The pair, who met on set while making the movie Too Much, announced their separation over the weekend.
