This summary was written by AI to complete the context; it is not based on a current source.
In the summer of 2025, Spanish actress Penélope Cruz took part in publicity for The Invite, a film directed by Olivia Wilde. Cruz stars in it alongside Edward Norton, with Wilde and Seth Rogen also in the cast. The story centres on two couples whose evening together exposes tensions in their marriages.
During the press round, Cruz gave a number of interviews, including one with People magazine. Because the film deals with commitment, desire and the strains of long partnerships, interviewers often steered the conversation towards her own life. She spoke in general terms about what it takes to sustain a long-term relationship.
Cruz has been married to Spanish actor Javier Bardem since 2010, and the couple have two children. Both are among Spain's best-known screen stars, yet they have long kept their family life largely out of the public eye. The interviews around The Invite were one of the occasions when Cruz touched on the subject of relationships while still protecting her family's privacy, a theme that later returned in coverage of how they raise their children.
