Penélope Cruz Dishes On Her Long-Lasting Love And Intriguing Nighttime Hobby

The Secret to Penélope Cruz's 16-Year Marriage

Don't listen to the skeptics – this is one celebrity romance that's stood the test of time. Penélope Cruz, the beloved Oscar-winning actress, has been blissfully married to fellow Oscar-winner Javier Bardem for a remarkable 16 years. Their journey together stretches back even further, having known each other for over three decades.

In a recent interview promoting her comedy film "The Invite," Cruz, 52, candidly shared insights into her enduring relationship. She revealed to People magazine, "I feel like I'm still learning [in my relationship], you know? And I am with somebody that I've known for 33 years. I really know that person, but it's like, is there a day where you really get to know yourself? No. So the same with your partner."

"I feel like I'm still learning [in my relationship], you know? And I am with somebody that I've known for 33 years," Cruz told the magazine in an article published Saturday, July 4.

Unveiling Her Passion for Medicine

While discussing her new movie, directed by Olivia Wilde, Cruz also shared a surprising personal revelation – her passion for studying medicine. In another interview with The New Yorker, she disclosed, "For the last 12 years, I study medicine every night of my life." The actress delves into hefty books about the endocrine system, claiming that the subject fills her with immense joy. "Every night, probably five, six days a week for the last 12 years, I've been reading that for hours," she added.

Olivia Wilde’s Quirky Hobby

In a delightful twist, Olivia Wilde, the film's director, joined Cruz in sharing her own unique hobby. Wilde, 42, confessed, "It’s not that obscure, I love miniatures. I’m a miniac." She even owns a miniature version of the original Seinfeld set, adding a touch of whimsy to the conversation.
