For those unversed, the Desperado actor and the Working Girl actress parted ways in December 2015. The couple shares a 29-year-old daughter, Stella Banderas.

Antonio and Melanie announced their divorce via a joint Instagram post.

"We have thoughtfully and consensually decided to finalize our almost twenty-year marriage in a loving and friendly manner honoring and respecting each other, our family and friends and the beautiful time we have spent together - Melanie & Antonio.," they penned in a joint statement.

Recently, in an interview with Vulture, Antonio referred to Melanie as "one of my best friends."

"I am not married with Melanie anymore, but she is my family," he said. "She is probably one of my best friends, if not the best friend that I have. My family is there, Dakota, Little Estella and Alexander."
