Legal documents filed on behalf of Griffith by attorney Laura Wasser at the Los Angeles Superior Court cite “irreconcilable differences,” according to reports.

The couple own a number of properties in the U.S. and Spain, Banderas’ native country.

Griffiths, 56, was previously married to Miami Vice star Don Johnson — twice — and Steven Bauer and has other two children, Dakota Johnson and Alexander Bauer, from those relationships.

Banderas, 53, was married to Ana Leza from 1987 to 1996.
