The couple have been dating for two years, choosing to keep a low profile; they rarely attend award shows or walk red carpets together. They have worked together in the films Jamón, jamón (1992) and in Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008). Neither Cruz’s nor Bardem’s reps confirmed the engagement. Cruz, 35, admits that she believes in “family, love, and children,” but not in marriage. In addition, she denied rumors that she is pregnant. In the Spanish edition of Marie Claire magazine in April 2007, Cruz stated that “Of course I want to have kids. I want to have my own kids, but also adopt. For a while I’ve had the feeling that my life wont be complete if I don’t adopt.”

Penélope Cruz has a passion for blue natural sapphires. In two of her recent movies, Elegy (2008) and Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), she wears magnificent, blue natural sapphire and diamond rings. We know that she would be zealous to see the vast selection of natural blue sapphire rings at The Natural Sapphire Company.
