Inside Anthony & Stella's Marriage

Anthony and Stella crossed paths in 2001 when he entered her antique and fine art store. In a 2009 interview, the Academy Award winner recalled when he met his beloved spouse. He revealed that he had been going through a dark period in his life, "dealing with slight depression" and trust issues, adding:

"[...] I married a remarkable woman who has changed a lot of my perceptions about myself and life."

Stella also gushed about her famous husband, saying his voice is "delicious," one of the things that attracted her to him. Anthony is a romantic, as he divulged in a January 2011 interview:

"I'm always buying gifts and flowers for my wife. She appreciates that, and then I get rewards. She makes me breakfast and brings it to me when I'm in bed."

Anthony further shared that he and his beautiful wife, whom he wed in March 2003, have much in common, including a love for country-western music from artists such as Dolly Parton.

Moreover, the lovebirds are "driven people" who prefer being active, Anthony said in a 2020 interview. In addition, the "Red Star" and the director are compassionate individuals who constantly spread kindness, "We help where we can," Anthony explained.

In the same interview, Stella added that she and her love express gratitude daily for being healthy and alive. They care for their loved ones and are appreciative of their presence in their life.

"Like Tony says, 'We're all fighting a great battle,'" said the Colombian native. Stella also explained that she and Anthony do not consider their projects as work. "It's not work when you do what you love," she said," adding the couple also enjoys meeting art collectors. The two have been married for twenty years.
