Well don't these two look dapper!

Antonio Banderas stepped out Tuesday afternoon to attend a prestigious award ceremony for Spanish newspaper Málaga Hoy. And while the actor looked extra dapper in his navy blue suit, most fans may be paying close attention to his fashionable date.

Dressed in a tight blue blouse with a black mini skirt, Nicole Kimpel wrapped her arm around the actor as they headed to the fancy event in Spain.

So what makes this twosome so intriguing? It could have something to do with the fact that Banderas is twenty years older than Kimpel. Furthermore, this romance marks the first relationship for the Desperado actor since splitting from Melanie Griffith, his wife of nearly 18 years. 

"We are in the process of getting to know each other," Baderas recently told The Olive Press when asked about his new female friend. "She is shy and doesn't have anything to do with my work, which is no bad thing."

Instead, the 34-year-old works as a Dutch investment consultant who has been spotted working on her fitness with the A-list actor.  

And as Banderas carries on after his split, it appears Griffith is also moving forward with her life. Need proof? The 56-year-old actress recently covered up her arm tattoo dedicated to Banderas and replaced it with a bandage reading "Mel."

They say actions speak louder than words, but we get both messages loud and clear!
