Penelope Cruz has always enjoyed Yummy Mummy status, and 2012 was an important year in that journey. Today we create a bit of context around her life in 2012.

Penelope Cruz Marriage and Children

Cruz began a relationship with Spanish actor Javier Bardem in 2007, although they had known each other for many years, having first worked together on the film ‘Jamón, Jamón’ in 1992.

Their relationship blossomed over time, leading to their marriage in a private ceremony in the Bahamas in July 2010. The couple has two children, a son named Leo, born in January 2011, and a daughter named Luna, born in July 2013.

Depending on when Tom Munro shot ‘Sangre Caliente’, it’s possible that Cruz was newly-pregnant with her second child Luna. According to a 2022 study published in the Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 59% of women experience some pregnancy symptoms by their fifth or sixth week. 71% reported symptoms by the end of week six and 89% by week eight.

Penelope Cruz Career 2012

The couple appeared together at an event connected to the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2012. 10 days later, they were photographed in Tudela, Spain on September 22, filming ‘The Counselor’.

Directed by Ridley Scott and released in 2013, the film was released in 2013. Penelope’s character Laura becomes engaged to Michael Fassbender's character, a high-level lawyer only called ‘the Counselor’. She is considered to be the only innocent character in the film.

One of ‘the Counselor’s’ clients is Reiner, played by Javier Bardem. He entices the attorney to become involved in opening a night club and financing it with a high-stakes drug deal. Cameron Diaz played Reiner’s wife Malkina, who becomes a high-level and deadly villain as the film unfolds. Ultimately, ‘the Counselor’ is trapped in a violent, highly-dangerous life degeneration of his and Laura’s life together.
