Actors Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz were among the spectators at the Los Angeles Stadium, cheering on Spain during their FIFA World Cup match on Thursday. The couple displayed animated reactions as Spain achieved a 3-0 victory over Austria, advancing them to the next stage of the tournament.
The Spanish Oscar winners, married since 2010, have two children: Leo, 14, and Luna, 11. This outing marked a rare public appearance for the couple, who generally maintain a private family life.
Bardem, who won an Oscar for his role in the 2007 drama "No Country for Old Men," and Cruz, who received an Oscar for her role in the 2008 film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona," have prioritized family time throughout their careers. Bardem has previously stated that since the birth of their first child, at least one of them ensures they are home when taking on acting roles. He emphasized his commitment to not being away from his family for more than two weeks at a time.
Bardem has publicly praised his wife, describing her as a "beautiful, good human being" and highlighting her positive relationships with family, friends, and their children. He has expressed feeling fortunate to share his life with her.
