Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz were seen cheering enthusiastically from the stands as Spain secured a decisive 3-0 victory over Austria on Thursday. The celebrity couple attended the FIFA World Cup match at Los Angeles Stadium, marking a rare public outing for the two.
The Spanish Oscar winners, married since 2010 and parents to 14-year-old Leo and 11-year-old Luna, watched intently as their country advanced to the last 16 of the tournament. Cruz, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in the 2008 film Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and Bardem, who took home Best Supporting Actor for the 2007 drama No Country for Old Men, appeared engaged throughout the game.
Bardem has previously spoken about his family-focused approach to his career, emphasizing the importance of minimizing time away from his family. He noted that since the birth of their first child, he and Cruz have ensured that at least one parent remains at home when they accept acting roles. Bardem expressed feeling 'blessed' to share his life with Cruz, praising her character and beauty. He stated that his professional requirements are minimal, with the only stipulation being no more than two weeks away from his family.
