Banderas about town

ANTONIO BANDERAS has been spotted out and about in Malaga with his new flame again, cutting a smart figure as he attended an awards ceremony. The Malaga-born Hollywood star was also spotted leaving a Marbella jewellery store over the New Year, again in the company of 34-year-old Dutch beauty Nicole Kempel.

Banderas, aged 54, was pictured arm-in-arm with Kempel on their way to an awards ceremony in Malaga, looking to all the world like a couple very much in love. They had been spotted before Christmas taking jogs on the beach near his home in Malaga, and again leaving the luxurious Gomez y Molina jewellery store in upmarket Marbella. The couple have reportedly been dating since the summer, when Banderas’ wife of 18 years – actress Melanie Griffith – filed for divorce.
